The Rollercam Advantage
Our buckles use innovative patented technology for increased performance compared to standard cam straps.
Put simply, our technology eliminates friction between the strap and the cam.
FIGURE 1
Figure 1 shows the cross-section of a standard cam buckle versus the cross-section of the Rollercam®.
When you are securing a cam strap, a maximum force is applied to the cam strap by pulling with your hand and body. When this force is applied in a standard cam, a frictional force is generated between the body and the webbing, reducing the overall ability to securely tighten a standard cam. The patented Rollercam® Technology substantially reduces the friction force and allows the webbing to be tightened with ease and a higher force.
By decreasing Frictional Force (Ffriction) through the use of the Rollercam®, the maximum Holding Force (FHold) may be drastically increased. The Rollercam® technology decreases this frictional force resulting in an increased maximum holding force and ease of operation. Figure 1 depicts experimental data between the Rollercam® and other standard cams. The shape of the body of the other cams has a drastic effect on the maximum holding force.
