Imagine having a single SLCD with an expansion range equal to 3-5 of your current cams. Each LINK CAM lobe has been trisected so that it unfolds and permits a greater camming range per size. Just what you want when you are pumped at the crux or not sure what to rack up with for that next back country route.
This new invention of Greg Lowe's (LoweCams, TriCams and a ton of other neat hardware) is based on the proven single axle, constant 13.5 degree cam for optimum placement strength and reliability. With Greg's LINK CAM design each individual cam lobe is comprised of 3 segments or links - inner, middle and outer. Which link engages with the rock depends on the size of the crack... retract all the way and the inner link supports the load. When placed with the middle or inner link engaged, the outer link(s) serve as "outriggers" reducing the potential for the LINK CAM to "walk" deeper in the crack or out of place. Nice. LINKS conform better to flared cracks and pockets - again due to their awesome expansion range. Inner two cam segments are metal injection molded 17-4 stainless steel for strength and durability, outer links are anodized 7000 series aluminum for lightness and quick i.d. Fitted with plastic sheathed trigger control wires and a 4" Dyneema sling. For reference, LINK CAM #1 covers the range of .5 CAMALOT to 1/8" over #1 CAMALOT; LINK CAM #2 covers from .75 CAMALOT thru just over a #2 CAMALOT. Expand your placement options today!
