15kg 700lb Olympic Barbell
The 15kg 700lb Olympic Barbell is ideal for general-purpose use in a home or commercial general-population gym.
Barbell Shaft:
A 25mm diameter shaft with a tensile strength of 175k PSI, well above the average forces of 145k PSI that barbells are usually exposed to. The maximum load-bearing capacity is 700lb or 317.5kg. Together with a tensile strength of 175K PSI, this barbell has a good whip under a light load but could permanently bend under a heavy load over 317.5kg.
The shaft’s protective coating is hard chrome. This is a great solution for home gyms and general gyms as it is cheap and has great protection against rust, abrasion, chips, and cracks. Hard chrome has long been the gold standard for barbell protective coatings until recently, after the introduction of Cerakote, Zinc, and Stainless Steel.
Barbell Markings:
This barbell has medium knurling, also known as volcano knurling and a single Olympic weight-lifting grip marker.
Barbell Sleeve:
The internal components of the sleeve include one brass bushing in each sleeve and two needle bearings. This setup reduces friction between the shaft and the sleeves and promotes some free spin or rotation for dynamic weight-lifting movements but not too much free spin to detract from static movements such as deadlifts, bench presses, and squats.
The barbell sleeve diameter is 50mm to fit Olympic weight plates, and it has a smooth surface for easy putting on and taking off weight plates.
