CONNECT IONS & SECT IONS FOR FURLERS

Product catalog summary
Overview: This document provides technical specifications and recommendations for Facnor's range of foil sections used in reefing furlers. The sections discussed include SX25, SX33, SX39, SX47, and SX53, which are designed for optimal aerodynamics and ease of sail changing.
Specifications:
  • Aerodynamics and Design: The SX twin groove foil sections are round-shaped, offering smooth furling and high rigidity. A 5mm finished luff tape is recommended, except for the R14, which requires a 4.5mm tape.
  • Materials: The sections are made from series 6000 anodized extruded aluminum, ensuring durability and resistance to wear. The sections feature CNC machined holes for perfect alignment.
  • Bearings: High-performance polyamide bearings protect the forestay and prevent wear.
  • Telescopic Sections: These allow for adjustable section lengths and provide high torque resistance, similar to the connectors.
  • Connectors: Designed with high torque resistance to ensure rigidity at section connections.
Dimensions:
  • Standard section length is 2 meters (6’8”).
  • Various diameters are specified for different models, such as R14, R24, R26, and R34, with diameters ranging from 5.5 mm to 8 mm.
Compatibility: The SX and R foil sections are compatible with all Facnor reefing furlers, including classic drum (LS, LX, RX), continuous line drum (RC), webbing drum (FD), and motorized drum (RMEJ). This allows for easy switching between different drum models.
Conclusion: Facnor's foil sections are designed for high performance and durability, with features that enhance ease of use and compatibility across different furling systems.

CONNECTIONS & SECTIONS FOR FURLERS Facnor ranges conversion The SX or R foil sections are common to all Facnor reefing furlers : classic drum (LS, LX, RX), continuous line drum (RC), webbing drum (FD) and motorized drum (RMEJ). So you can easily switch from one model of drum to another one (SX to SX, R to R). HIGH PERFORMANCE POLYAMID BEARING Protects the forestay and prevents from wearing CONNECTORS WITH HIGH TORQUE RESISTANCE CNC MACHINED HOLES Insuring the sections to be perfectly aligned Guarantee a great rigidity at the section connections MATERIAL INSULATED Screws covered with tuff lock ® (blocking and insulating product) Standard section length 2 m ( 6’8”) 2 METER ANODISED EXTRUDED ALUMINIUM SECTIONS Type of aluminium : série 6000 TELESCOPIC SECTIONS Allows adjusting the section length. Like the connectors, the telescopic section offers a high torque resistance SX 25 / SX 33 / SX 39 / SX 47 / SX 53 ROUNDED SECTIONS (LS LX RANGES): The SX twin groove foil sections, round shaped, offer smooth furling as well as a high rigidity. We recommend a 5mm finished luff tape. This range of sections offers a good aerodynamics and the double-groove allows easy sail changing. We recommend a 5mm finished luff tape except for the R14 (4.5 mm).
