Spinlock XXC Powerclutch
The Spinlock XXC powerclutch range meets the growing demand for ultra-high performance rope clutches. The XXC clutch is optimized for high performance 8 to 12 mm lines. Choose an XXC powerclutch for working loads and diameters that can’t be held reliably with conventional rope clutches but where the winched release of the ZS Jammer is impractical. These clutches have a lightened handle and body. The Spinlock XXC powerclutch is locally reinforced with unidirectional carbon fibre and with critical components in Titanium in place of stainless steel. The jaws are ceramic coated to hold hybrid covered lines at loads up to 2350kg (5180lbs) and help resist heat generated at higher line speeds.

XXC or ZS Jammer?
Choose XXC for working loads/diameters that can’t be held reliably with conventional clutches but where the winch release of the ZS Jammer is impractical
Choose ZS for bigger diameters/high loads where winched release is positive safety feature and instant release is unnecessary
