Bubbles of Low-Friction Performance
Each of the 25 individual bearings in this pack acts like a perfect, low-friction bubble, creating a near-frictionless interface between your traveler car and the track. Unlike inferior materials that can compress and deform under load, these advanced bearings maintain their perfectly round shape. This resilience means the car rolls freely without sticking, whether you are making a micro-adjustment in light air or easing the main in a heavy gust. This is the rolling, bubbling action that defines Harken´s superior performance.
When end controls are not used, add endstops to the track to prevent the car from running off.
