Figure 8 descender has extra thick with ears and belay slot. Allows for smooth rope action while descending or belaying. And the thick body largely decreases the abrasion of rope to a minimum level.The descender, general speaking , is a tool used to reduce the speed of descent when using the escape rope, which can play a protective role for us.Figure 8 Descenders are also known as Figure 8 descenders. Because of its small size, light weight and easy to use characteristics, it is widely popular in the field of rescue and escape descending equipment. Once connected to the rope, there will be no sudden disengagement. Because the ring of eight adds twist to the rope and does not adjust the range of friction as the row of retarders do, the ring of eight is more suitable for single use and short drops.In the 1960s, the eight-figure ring descenders were designed for mountaineers and were mostly made using the drop hammer forging process. In order to ensure the purpose of high strength and light weight of the 8-figure ring downcomer, most of the 8-figure ring downcomer is aluminum.In the case of frequent use of the ring of 8, such as training or where there is high friction that can cause rope wear, the high wear resistance of the steel ring of 8 should be used, rather than considering the resulting cost and weight issues.
