Abstract:
A wire rope for a running wire, has a core rope, a plurality of side strands arranged at an outer periphery of the core rope to be twisted together therewith, and a resin spacer interposed between the side strands, the core rope including a core rope main body composed of a plurality of wires and a resin coating layer outwardly surrounding the core rope main body so that the resin coating layer separates the core rope main body from the side strands, each of the side strands being composed of a plurality of further wires, and the resin spacer being provided with contour corresponding to an outer layer of the further wires of the side strands and extending between the wires of the outer layer of the side strands.
Abstract:
A novel high tensile strength semi-absorbable composite suture with minimized non-absorbable mass. The suture has a core made from a bioabsorbable polymer. The core is covered by a braided sheath. The braided sheath is made from an absorbable yarn and a bioabsorbable yarn. The bioabsorbable yarn is made from a least one filament of a bioabsorbable polymer. The nonabsorbable yarn is made from at least one filament of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene.
Abstract:
An inner layer rope has a plurality of inner layer strands, in which a plurality of steel wires are twisted together, with an elevator rope for suspending a car of an elevator apparatus. An inner layer cladding made of a resin covers a periphery of the inner layer rope. An outer layer is formed on a peripheral portion of the inner layer cladding. The outer layer has a plurality of outer layer strands in which a plurality of steel wires are twisted together. An outer layer cladding made of a high-friction resin material covers the periphery of the outer layer.
Abstract:
A light weight cable bead core 30 is described having an inner core 33 made of a metal wire 34 with an outer sheath 35 of steel cord wires 36. Each cord 36 is made of a plurality of filaments 37. The bead core 30 is particularly suited for heavy-duty service conditions in tires 100 for aircraft, off-road equipment, and commercial trucks.
Abstract:
A method for producing a cable or cable element from individual elements is provided. The method comprises heating the individual elements before or during a stranding process until they are at least close to plastification and cooling the individual elements to a solidification temperature of a plastic. A cable or cable element comprising individual elements that are twisted together to form the cable is also disclosed. The individual elements are heated either before or during a stranding process until they are at least close to plastification, and are subsequently cooled to a solidification temperature of the plastic until they leave a stranding machine. A stranding device for the production of a cable or cable element from individual elements is also disclosed. The stranding device comprises a heating device which acts on the individual elements and a cooling device located downstream of the heating device in a direction of processing.
Abstract:
Flexible tension member includes a helical bundle of substantially identical elongate elements. Each element inside the bundle is in contact with six adjacent elements, and the lay length of the helical bundle is at least 30 times its diameter. Each element is a strand including wires extending helically around the axis of the strands and substantially all of the strands have a helical lay direction opposite to the helical lay direction of the bundle.
Abstract:
A method is provided for making a plastic-filled wire rope by preheating a lubricated wire rope to a temperature close to the melting point of the plastic material with which the rope is to be filled, and then injecting the plastic material in molten state under heat and pressure into the wire rope so as to fill essentially completely the interstices between the strands and the individual wires, while displacing and removing most of the lubricant initially present within the rope. The obtained novel plastic-filled, lubricated wire rope has improved wear and fatigue resistance as well as increased life.
Abstract:
An elevator compensating cable which has an elongated plastic tube shaped member which delimits a predetermined volume. Disposed within the predetermined volume are: (a) at least one elongated member; (b) an elongated means made from a mixture of metal particles of plastic; and (c) a plurality of elongated fibers adapted to move relative to one another, the strength member, and the elongated plastic tube shaped member, having a coefficient of elongation of not more than 30% and a coefficient of friction relative to all surrounding materials of not less than 0.3.
Abstract:
A wire rope is provided having a central core strand about which are wound outer strands. Spacer strands are present in the gaps between such core strand and outer strands to assume the uniformity of such gaps. A coating, usually of a suitable thermoplastic, is extruded into such rope to provide a spacer between such core and such outer strands, and between adjacent outer strands.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a wire rope comprising an inner layer of at least four separate wire strands and an outer layer of at least eight separate wire strands, parallel laid. The strands themselves are usually of parallel lay and are usually lubricated. A thermoplastic or an elastomer usually surrounds the inner layer strands and extends between the inner layer strands and the outer layer strands and between the outer layer strands.
