Dura Link

Dura Link® changes the way you think about production. When an H-style mandrel fails you must undertake a repair. The repair time is bad as is the cost of the repair, but the loss of uptime is much worse.

If you could cut your link usage in half or by three-fourths, would it be worth it for you to switch to Dura Link®?

Dura Link® is a breakthrough in link design, and symbolic of TBC’s commitment to product innovation.

Dura Link® is:

• The first major mandrel linkage refinement since the 1950’s
• A superior design, which is up to 26% stronger per a recent independent analysis (Word .doc 25.5 KB).
• Lasts longer than H-style linkages
• Available in standard sizes or can be customized for any size tube
• In stock. Replacement ball segments and standby assemblies are always available for fast shipment

At Tube Bending Concepts we know that Dura Link® ball mandrels are better--because we get positive feedback from our customers every day. But how much better, we wondered?

So in 2005 TBC hired an independent engineering firm to compare Dura Link® to the competition in a head-to-head failure test. The results may make you think twice about your next mandrel purchase.
