What is the allowable load on the 7/8" Sheave? Does it exceed the allowable for 7/8" wire rope? (Ex. For 6x36 Warrington Seale w/Fiber Core the Allowable load = 20% of 35.4 ton break strength or 14.6k) Does the 7/8" Sheave have a capacity that matches or exceeds 14.6k assuming the bolt or pin in double shear & housing do as well.

Sheaves like this do not have a Working Load Limit assigned to them because they can be grooved for several different diameters of wire rope, and can be used in single part or multi part wire rope systems. They are, however, designed to exceed the capacity of the wire rope they are grooved for (Minimum Strength = the Breaking Strength of EIPS wire rope for the given size).
