The Rollercam Advantage
Our buckles use innovative patented technology for increased performance compared to standard cam straps to eliminate extra friction between the strap and the cam.
The illustration above 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 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.
