Swelock K640 Energy
Shock Absorber
Swelock K640 energy shock absorber is designed to be incorporated in a
fall arrest or force restraint system. The special inner
polyamide tear webbing absorbs the arresting force in the event
of a fall while the red colour webbing recovers as a backup. The
energy absorber is covered with a clear transparent protective
sleeve.
When a fall occurs, the sudden stop caused by the fall arrest
system submits the human body to a high impact force (as higher
the free fall distance, higher the force)
The purpose of the energy absorber is to reduce the impact force
experienced in a fall by dissipating the kinetic energy and
controlling deceleration. The Energy absorbing system is made of
width 45mm specially woven webbing that elongates through
tearing on its weave and stitching.
