EVERFLEX™ BSR Bending Strain Relief

Model EVERFLEX BSR

Slip-on polyurethane and helical steel rod bending strain relief that extends cable life at rigid attachment points of fixed, towed and moored systems.

Description

EVERFLEX bending strain relief (BSR) uses a composite design of polyurethane and helical steel rods to give graduated stiffness, protecting tensioned underwater cables where they meet rigid attachment points. It can be combined with an EVERGRIP termination.

Key features

  • Slip-on design: no prep work, installation takes minutes
  • Two models: internally threaded sleeve coupling and modified pipe flange mounting ring; light duty models available
  • The point of maximum bending travels along the BSR as loads vary, distributing bending
  • In PMI laboratory tests, double-armored electro-mechanical cables failed in about 5,000 cycles under severe bending; with EVERFLEX, cable life exceeded half a million cycles

Applications

Fixed, towed and moored cable systems in oceanographic, offshore and defense work.
