shear reduction device
Posted: Oct 23, 2016 11:13 pm
I was looking at vertical gear and came across the CMI shear reduction device https://www.cmi-gear.com/products/shrd . It is available from several dealers. CMI and the dealers give specifications about its strength and that it will take 1/2 inch rope. None of them explain what shear reduction is and why I would want to use this particular device to reduce shear.
Can anyone explain why, where, and how I would use the device? Who first described shear, invented the term, and made some group of rope users aware of shear? What group of rope users is most concerned about shear?
