The new award winning Adjustable angle HANS (head and neck support) device is adjustable from 10-40 degrees in 5 degree increments. It is suitable for almost any seating position from rally to F1. It is also ideal for competitors that are unsure of their required angle or those that compete in various vehicles. It is treated with a special DuPont polymer coating making the HANS adjustable extremely fire resistant and the lower rounded collar ensures improved comfort for the competitor. Available in sizes medium and large.
Equipped with Sliding tethers and retaining wings for harnesses.
What are the benefits of the HANS Adjustable?
A Driver will get the same patented, award winning HANS performance plus additional comfort. The Adjustable can be adapted more precisely to the torso in 5-degree increments. If a 15 or 25 degree angle is needed, a driver is no longer locked into standard angles.
The HANS Adjustable can be used in different types of cars by one competitor, the same device can be adjusted to fit either seat.
The lower, rounded collar continues the effort to make fitting, access and egress easier for the competitor.
A Special DuPont Zytel Polmer coating makes the HANS Ajustable extremely fire-resistant.
What is Thixotropic molding?
Thixotropic molding is similar to conventional die-cast but is more akin to plastic molding. Thixtropic molding is a better process for making light yet strong metal pieces – vehicle seats, for example. The process begins with a metal alloy heated to the point just below melting. The resulting semi-solid is fed into a mold through a barrel and reciprocating screw. Finer tolerances combined with strength create features like the conical splines for the leg on the HANS Adjustable.
How do the Spiralock anti vibration fasteners used to attach the legs of the HANS Adjustable work?
A self-locking female thread form is made by adding a unique 30 degree wedge ramp at the root of the thread. The wedge ramp allows standard 60 degree male fasteners to spin freely relative to the female threads until a clamp load is applied. The clamp load creates a continues spiral line of contact along the wedge ramp. This eliminates the radial clearance that allows fasteners to begin self-loosening under vibration.
What is DuPone Zytel and how does it work?
The coating of the HANS Adjustable is a nylon resin that is injection molded to fit the device. In addition to toughness characteristics, the make-up of the polymer can be mixed specially to be highly fire resistant.
