Ahh, yer right, I did miss your edit.. Good point.

So Im I correct in interpreting it to mean QA1 actually designed in a safety factor and adjusted the Ult. Radial Static Load Capacity rating to a lower number for the sake of a safety margin where Aurora basically says their Ultimate Radial Static Load Capacity rating is the final line. They anticipate a breakage after that point?

That makes sense. Why the mild steel housing of the aurora end compares very closely to the alloy housing of the qa1 end in ratings in their catalog.

You miss that info if you just go by their online catalog specs. So the qa1 X series would prolly be a better comparison to the aurora XA series.

Good eye buddy!!! JR
