Abstract:
A wire rope for a heavy-load crane, such as a ladle crane is provided that is not only almost rotation-resistant but is also unlikely to be broken by wear and fatigue of wires. The rotation-resisting wire rope (1) has a plurality of side strands (3). In side each strand (3), wires (5) are laid in the same direction as the lay of core strand wires (4), around the periphery of a core strand (2). The side strands (3) are laid in a direction opposite to the lay of the core strand wires (4) so as to form the wire rope (1). The side strands (3) preferably have a smaller pitch multiple than a pitch multiple of the wire rope (1). The ratio between a diameter (d2) of the side strands (3) and a diameter (d1) of the core strand (2) is preferably about 1.3 to about 1.8. The pitch multiple of strands (3) is preferably about 5 to about 8 and the pitch multiple of the wire rope (1) is preferably about 8 to about 10. Both the core strand (2) and the side strands (3) preferably have shaped wires (4,5), having a flattened surface, at an outermost ply.
Abstract:
A steel cord (1) having a three-layer twisted construction consisting of an innermost layer (2), an intermediate layer (3), an outermost layer (4), and a spiral wrap (5) and being capable of achieving an improvement in the adhesion force to rubber while reducing the number of processing steps used. In the steel cord (1), the innermost layer (2) consists of 3 filaments (2a) twisted in one of left or right twist directions while having a twist pitch length of 5 to 18mm; the intermediate layer (3) consists of 8 filaments (3a) twisted in the same twist direction as that of the innermost layer (2) while having a twist pitch length of 5 to 18mm, namely, the same twist pitch length as that of the innermost layer (2); the outermost layer (4) consists of 13 filaments (4a) twisted in a left or right twist direction opposite to those of the innermost and intermediate layers (2,3) while having a twist pitch length of 10 to 25mm equal to or more than those of the innermost and intermediate layers (2,3); and the spiral wrap (5) consists of a single filament adapted to be wrapped around the outermost layer (4), thereby preventing the steel cord (1) from being unwound, the filament being twisted in a twisted direction opposite to that of the outermost layer (4) while having a twist pitch length of 3 to 10mm. Gaps are formed among the filaments (3a,4a) of the intermediate and outermost layers (3,4). The gaps allow rubber to penetrate easily into the steel cord (1) therethrough.
Abstract:
Bei einem durch eine Seilscheibe angetriebenen Treibseil, mit einem Seilkern (19) aus in konzentrischen Litzenlagen (14,16) miteinander parallelverseilten tragenden Aramidfaserlitzen (9,10,11), wird vorgeschlagen, die Litzen (12) einer äussersten Litzenlage (21) im Gegenschlag mit dem Seilkern (19) zu verseilen. Durch die Gegenschlagverseilung heben sich die unter Last in den Litzenlagen (14,16,21) entstehenden Drehmomente gegenseitig auf; es wird ein drehungsneutraler Seilaufbau erreicht. Ein elastischer Zwischenmantel (20) zwischen den gegenschlagverseilten Litzenlagen (16, 21) dient als Abriebschutz für die Litzen (10,11,12) und einer grossflächigen Drehmomentenübertragung im Aufzugsseil (1).
Abstract:
A wire rope comprising an outer rope (14,16) and an inner rope layer (24,38) of wire strands is provided. The inner rope layer itself is comprised of multiple layers, usually in a parallel laid, coreless arrangement. The inner and outer rope layers are contrahelically laid and are usually lubricated. A thermoplastic or elastomer (52,152) can be utilized to encapsulate the lubricant within the inner rope layer or within both the inner and outer rope layers.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a hybrid rope comprising a core element, a first and a second metallic closed layer surrounding said core element. The core element includes a bundle or construction of synthetic yarns. The first metallic closed layer includes a plurality of first wirelike members helically twisted together with the core element in a first direction. The second metallic closed layer includes a plurality of second wirelike members helically twisted together with said core element and said first metallic closed layer in a second direction. The cross-sectional area of the core element is larger than the total cross-sectional area of the first and second metallic closed layers.

Abstract:
The present invention is to provide a hybrid core rope (1) which does not require maintenance or a hybrid core rope (1) capable of reducing a maintenance task. The hybrid core rope (1) includes a resin solid core (2) in which a plurality of spiral grooves (2a) is formed in the longitudinal direction on an outer peripheral surface thereof, a plurality of fiber bundles (3) respectively spirally wound around the outer peripheral surface of the resin solid core (2) along the plurality of spiral grooves (2a), the fiber bundles (3) having thickness to fill the spiral grooves (2a), and a plurality of steel strands (4) spirally wound around the outer peripheral surface of the resin solid core (2) around which the fiber bundles (3)are wound. The fiber bundles (3) and the strands (4) are respectively wound so as to have angles which are not parallel to each other.
