- July 08, 2008
720 lb Clamp, Foot Print / Contact Area Foot Size: 3″ x 12″ each
Total Area: 2 x 36in² = 72 in²
HT-800 Silicone Pad Size: 3″ x 12″ each
Total Area: 2 x 36in² = 72 in²
Mounting Plate
Calculation: Load / Area = 720lb / 72 in² = 10 lb/in²
Compression: From the Compression Force Deflection Curve, HT-800 will compress approximately 30%.
(Note: compressing more than 50% may rupture cells and damage material)
