I'm looking for someone experienced with running cable (synthetic or steel) over Nylatron (or similar synthetic) sheaves (pulleys). We are looking at running a synthetic cable over "dead" (static)sheaves at up to 350+ fps. There will be approximately 15,000 lbs tension in the cable. To make things worse I also want 5 - 10 years of life. We are searching for the dynamic holy grail, the massless, frictionless pulley. Anyone seen it?
