The Pistons and Cylinders
The patented piston and cylinder design brings a revolutionary smoothness and durability to snare straining hardware. As part of its guiding components there are three cylinders and respective pistons. In combination, each produce a 360 degree load bearing surface that provide superior structural strength and a means to precision movement. This design translates an unprecedented smoothness and durability not found among its predecessors. • Maintaining Tension on the Snares The tune locking-torque adjustment system ensures that tuning is maintained under extreme vibration. Set this to the desired resistance and the tuning mechanism locks after every rotation of the knob. |
| • The Lever or Toggle Mechanism This is the primary component in actuating and releasing the snares to and from the snare bed. To this end, a connecting link with a tensile strength of 3,700 lbs. engages the main piston from the handle. A strong proponent in the maintenance of this strainer's precision mechanics, the toggle mechanism uses vector radius calibration to locate the snares. Without stretching and relaxing the snares, the three points of the toggle rotate to bring the snares into position on the snare bed. |

• Undercarriage guidance The guidance system is designed so that tension brought to the snares is mono-directional. In other words, no matter its position, the strainer will provide tension to the snares in the same direction. Also, integral to its unprecedented 5/8" distance of throw the undercarriage guides the snare fixture (strap or strings) cleanly through the bottom rim. • The Bumpers Incorporated in its mechanics are Polyurethane and Neoprene bumpers. These act as mufflers that make this strainer's operation virtually silent. In acoustic or close microphone settings this feature becomes essential. |

| • Superior Materials and Construction Constructed from a Polycarbonate (BulletProof Glass), the housing components have endless possibilities to their appearance and are virtually indestructible. A brass insert provides the threads for the stainless steel tuning shaft. Hardened alloy connecting link and dowel pins plus a machined brass piston give precision and durability to their mechanics. And, steel inserts provide threading for the key screws on the clamping plate. |
