Normal usage> 20,000 rpm
Intensive use> 30.000 rpm
Very intensive use> 40.000 rpm

seam and shear resistance

Upholstery fabrics are tested for sensitivity to the "openness" of stitching. In general it can be said that a substance whose tissue wires up to 6 mm from each slide at 180 nm tax, no practical problems. The shear resistance is less, then it is advisable to upholster using double stitching use and locking it off. Sides extra care
