Anyone got any rules of thumb on this topic, please?
I am interested in typical pull forces to spec too for portable equipment ( might it be: drop from height 'H' and restrain with cable - any typical height 'H'? ) I've seen clients complain that the cord moves when they whip the unit over their head like a lassoo!
Any comments vis-a-vis typical requirements for the 'push' force, given that most concerns are around pulling/tugging.
[As an aside, I got good results with a staggered slot in moulded part restraining a 1.8mm diam (over PVC sheath) 20ga stranded wire. (holding 1.8KG for 15 hrs, with a stagger of 33% of sheath diam.)
