Boom head sheave pin for Favelle Favco

The boom head sheave pin, part number M405-0024-0200, acts as the central axis for the sheaves positioned at the apex of the crane boom. By securing the sheaves in place, this component enables the smooth rotation required for the steel hoist rope to travel through the boom head assembly during lifting operations. It is engineered to maintain the alignment of the sheaves under the tension loads transmitted by the hoist line.

This component is manufactured for use in Favelle Favco crane equipment. The pin measures 150 mm in diameter and is intended for installation within the boom or jib structure where it supports the sheave assembly. Proper installation ensures that the sheaves rotate freely, which is necessary for the mechanical function of the crane's hoisting system.

Sheave pins function as the structural pivot point for pulleys in heavy lifting machinery. By providing a stable mounting surface, they allow the sheaves to redirect the hoist cable while distributing the load across the boom structure. Regular inspection of the pin surface and the mating bushings is standard practice to ensure the integrity of the cable path and the overall hoisting mechanism.
