Vertebrae Bend Restrictors Manufacturer in China
A Vertebrae bend restrictor assembly is a device that is mounted around a cable and attached to a structure to prevent the cable from bending beyond the designed locking radius of the bend restrictor. This helps to prevent the cable from overbending.
Vertebrae bend restrictor using polyurethane to prevent pipes from overbending at the interface between flexible and rigid structures. Bend restrictors are made up of a number of interlocking elements which react when subjected to an external load, locking together to form a smooth curved radius. This radius is chosen to be equal to or greater than the minimum bend radius of the pipe that it is applied to. Once the elements have locked together, the bending moment present is transferred into the elements and back through a specially designed steel interface structure into the adjacent rigid connection, therefore protecting the pipe from potentially damaging loads.
We maintains a substantial technical and engineering resource offering a turnkey cable protection solution from design, steelwork elements, polymer moulding through to testing and validation.
