Bend Restrictor

What is a Bend Restrictor?

Bend restrictors are designed and engineered to safeguard the cable or umbilical under dynamic loading. A bend restrictor is one section in a string of restrictors that combine to form a flexible interlocking safety measure. As a string, they allow the asset to move freely and as designed for dynamic environments within acceptable parameters.

The string will only engage to form a semi-rigid structure if the bending moment nears the predetermined limits. Designed to ensure that the cable or umbilical cannot exceed the bending radius, safeguarding the integrity of the asset.
