SPLIT BSR Bending Strain Relief
Preserve the Life of Subsea Cables with Split Bending Strain Relief (BSR)
The Split BSR extends cable life for fixed, towed, and moored systems, and many other oceanographic and offshore applications.
By controlling bending stresses and strains at rigid attachment points and limiting bending radius, stress is reduced in the critical transition area with flexible cable interfaces and rigid attachments.
Under high loads and large angle deflections, cable bending is controlled by increasing stiffness of heavier sections of the Split BSR relief near the rigid attachment point.
With a Split BSR, the point of maximum bending travels along the length of the cable within the bending strain relief as load conditions vary. This distributes the otherwise localized bending conditions to increase cable life.
Product Description
The Split BSR is made of a corrosion resistant adaptor, polyurethane, and includes stainless steel bands providing graduated stiffness to limit the bend radius and protect the cable. The Split BSR is symmetrical in design and omnidirectional in performance.
Applications
As a stand-alone BSR, the Split BSR can be designed for a large variety of cable sizes.
Features and Benefits
- With a split design and no cable prep work, the Split BSR can be installed mid-span on the cable
- Secures with bolt hole pattern or studs can be preinstalled
- The point of maximum bending is distributed along the length of the cable inside the BSR as load conditions vary to increase cable life
- By adjusting design parameters, stiffness can be tailored to the specific needs of the cable system
- Available in alternate colors
