Yielding Straps for Shock Reduction

Mastering shock: Our SST TC series of yielding straps are used for elastic-plastic mounting of equipment and installations on naval ships and in shelters. Commonly referred to as one-way elements, they take advantage of the large energy absorption through plastic deformation of the material. TC elements are made of V4A (AISI 316Ti) stainless steel and can also be supplied in non-magnetic versions.

Other versions:
  • SST TCP is covered with a synthetic material.
  • SST TCS product types according to DIN 95408 (J1-J9)

In order to simplify the design process, design diagrams have been developed from which the appropriate yielding strap can be quickly and reliably determined, specifying the weights of the equipment or installations and the desired residual acceleration under shock load in accordance with BV 043.85 / 89.

Order description TCW XX YY Z
It means:
  • W = P = Elastic plastic covering, = S = Steel design (S 355 J2 G3)
  • XX = Plate thickness
  • YY = Width of Yielding Straps
  • Z = without symbol = magnetic design
  • Z = A = non-magnetic desgin
Examples:
  • TC 0230 Yielding Strap with plate thickness 2mm, width 30mm, magnetic design
  • TC 0230 A Yielding Strap with plate thickness 2mm, width 30mm, non-magnetic desgin
  • TCS 0255 Yielding Strap with plate thickness 2mm, width 55mm, Steel design (corresponds to J1 of DIN 95408)
