Thanks, it's a knockoff Enerpac RCH123. If you know the surface area of the ram and have a pressure gauge you can calculate the force. If you're interested in making your own I describe the process here th-cam.com/video/R0AEFyQAgvM/w-d-xo.html This was with my first version. The ram was smaller but all else is the same
Thanks Matt for the nice review and reflection, and of course testing! Definitely not Petzl quality; and not for everybody, but they have their place. I'll actually choose the other Chinese-made ones I've been getting that are red/black, orange/black over Camnals, the pricing is better but also there's for variety of diameters/lengths.
The variety of sizes is really going to help these get adopted more. I really took to these things because I'm already drilling,12mm holes but I know a lot of developers don't
I'd be curious to see one pulled in sheer. I've got a set of the camnal and a set of the petzl ones. I also find the camnals don't fit as well in the hole. They're pretty annoying to get out sometimes. I tend to stick to the petzl ones
We did one of these Camnal in shear, got 33.48kN, we even proof-loaded it first. Test and further explanation why they're tricky to get in/out in my recent video on them, but also in our initial Review. One reason for that problematic fit has to do with the movable tabs not being able to fully retract as well, which could be remedied by wallowing the bottom of the hole a tad. Search for BREAK TEST: Camnal 12mm Removable Bolt, made in China. There's been other removables in the China market now that I like more than Camnal's.
Do you find the camnal wear faster? I have another one that I kept intact to actually use in the field but haven't been using it enough to get a good idea yet
Nice test, interesting to see how Chinese gear is developing. Can I ask what hydraulic puller you’re using for this?
