Understanding Load Ratings: How to Select Proper Webbing Strength for Your Application

When it comes to safety-critical or load-bearing designs, selecting the right webbing strength is more than a matter of ‘how strong is this strap.” Engineers and sourcing professionals have to know how load ratings, tensile strength, and working load limits interact to achieve the required performance and to meet cost efficiency. At American Cord & […]
Parachute Webbing Testing and Validation

Verified Performance for Parachute and Military Webbing Systems Parachute webbing testing is the key to performance when selling webbing for cargo straps, parachutes, load barring, netting and rigging. In parachute, cargo restraint, and military webbing applications, performance is not defined by claims, it is defined by compliance to specification and verified test data. For engineers, […]
Webbing Tolerances Explained

In industrial manufacturing, precision applies for more than machined parts. For example, there are critical applications for woven materials such as safety harnesses, cargo restraints, and medical supports where the dimensional accuracy of webbing, cord, buckles, fasteners, and accessories are held to precise standards. And the way that accuracy is communicated and controlled comes down […]

Automated Maintenance Makes Flawless Production

Our in-house automated preventive maintenance system is fully integrated within our ERP system, alerting us whenever preventive maintenance is required for your molds. This software uses real-time data per mold by tracking the number of shots and overall run time, flagging the need for the molds and tools to be pulled, and receiving various maintenance in our in-house tool/mold maintenance room. We prevent damage to your injection molding mold and our own to avoid dimensional changes to plastic products, ensuring consistency across years of production. This proactive approach minimizes wear and tear, extends mold life, and greatly reduces exposure to unreliable parts, ensuring high-quality plastic production on custom injection molding customers and our proprietary buckle production.
