Damage Prevention Product absorbs transit induced forces.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet Industrial Newsroom) — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 07:40:20 -0500

Designed to address issue of damaging parts during transportation operations, Ivy Shock PillowÂ© helps reduce impact forces associated with railcar coupling actions. Logistics damage prevention product absorbs transit induced forces, which are typically generated by cargo impacting the end walls of rail boxcars, trailers, or sea containers, before they can be transferred into cargo. It impedes transfer of kinetic energy from impact shocks.

Hard/Soft Cable Connections offer high strain/bend relief.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet Industrial Newsroom) — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 07:52:02 -0500

Reducing stress and strain from electrical conductors' termination points, hard/soft strain relief is engineered with anti-twist function as well as elimination of pistoning action of conductors inside cable jacket at termination point of assembly. It meets or exceeds straight pull test of its corresponding cable and connected assembly. Weighted 180Â° tick-tock flex tension testing achieves 750,000 cycles. Unit can be produced in PVC (and its alloys), polyurethane, and TPR.
