Source sentences:
text: A carabiner is designed to be loaded on the major axis, with the gate closed and the sleeve locked.
text: A carabiner loaded on the minor axis is weak: only 35 % of the major axis strength (e.g. 8 kN instead of 27 kN on the major axis for the Am’D).
text: A carabiner loaded along the minor (widthwise) axis can fail in a fall.
text: A carabiner is designed to be loaded on the major axis, with the gate closed and the sleeve locked.
text: Carabiners are incredibly strong—they meet a minimum test of 20 kN (4496 lbf or 2039 kg) when properly loaded on their major axis with the gate closed.
text: A: Without exception, a carabiner is designed to be loaded on its major axis.
text: This carabiner can handle a maximum of around 6,600 lbs of tension along its major axis, while the gate itself can handle around 1,500 lbs, and the spine of the carabiner can handle around 1700 lbs sideways.
text: Unintentionally putting stress on the minor axis is something that won’t happen with this carabiner because of its offset D-shape, so you can rest assured that the strength of its major axis will be consistently used to its full potential.
text: The offset D-shape has its advantages though, as I explained before, in that it keeps the carabiner aligned along its major axis.
