Torlon Balls (100)

High-Load Bearing Performance

Lewmar Torlon balls are engineered to deliver exceptional performance in high-load traveller and sail-handling systems. Supplied in packs of 100, they are a critical service component for maintaining smooth, low-friction operation in Lewmar deck hardware where standard bearing materials may not meet load demands.

Torlon High-Performance Material

Manufactured from advanced Torlon polymer, these bearing balls offer outstanding strength, stiffness, and resistance to deformation under heavy load. Torlon is specifically chosen for demanding marine applications due to its ability to maintain dimensional stability and low friction even under extreme pressure and temperature variation.

Optimised for Extreme Load Conditions

In traveller car and track systems, Torlon balls distribute load evenly across bearing races, dramatically reducing friction compared to plain bearings. Their high compressive strength makes them ideal for use in performance racing, large cruising yachts, and offshore applications where sustained loads are significantly higher than standard operating conditions.

Smooth, Low-Friction Operation

The precision-engineered spherical profile ensures consistent rolling motion, promoting smooth, responsive traveller movement during trimming and easing. Reduced friction improves control feel, lowers handling effort, and enhances overall system efficiency, particularly where hardware is subjected to continuous stress.

Service & Maintenance

Essential Ideal for maintenance, refurbishment, or performance upgrades, the Lewmar Torlon Balls (100) allow worn or degraded bearings to be replaced without removing or replacing the entire system. Regular servicing with genuine Torlon balls helps restore original performance, extend hardware lifespan, and maintain safe, reliable operation.

System Compatibility

Designed for compatibility with Lewmar traveller cars and sail-handling systems using ball-bearing technology, these Torlon balls integrate seamlessly into existing assemblies, ensuring original design performance is preserved and system reliability is maintained.
