The KJS12 is a rope clutch capable of holding up to 0,6 tons for ropes up to 10mm. It meets the vast majority of needs for a cruising or racing sailboat.
Don’t be fooled by its traditional stainless steel appearance. You’ll find all the hallmarks of an efficient Karver clutch: eco-design, compact size, optimized weight, remote control capability, rope-friendly mechanism, and easy installation, use, and maintenance.
– Eco-designed: Made of stainless steel die casting to reduce raw material, waste, environmental impact, and extend product lifespan.
– A clutch with a traditional appearance yet many unique advantages at a competitive price.
– The entire mechanism can be removed without detaching the base, ensuring easy installation and maintenance.
– Captive mechanism during disassembly: no lost parts.
– Wedge design to increase holding power on the rope.
– Ultra-low-friction sliding pads: less wear and easier opening.
– Dual movable jaws: reduced rope wear and less friction when open.
– No top handle: Like our high-load KJC jammers, the KJS has no upper handle, allowing it to fit into tight spaces and be operated remotely. It also prevents handle breakage.
– Remote control: In just 5 minutes, you can disable the open-position lock and operate it remotely with a single rope.
– 70 mm mounting distance, identical to many competitors.
– High-performance jaws based on our high-load KJC technology to protect ropes, especially their covers.
– Stainless steel construction also minimizes bulk, making the KJS6 particularly compact.
– Lighter than many competitors despite its stainless steel structure.
