Abstract:
A composite hybrid cord comprising a core comprising of a first bundle of synthetic filaments having a filament tenacity of from 10 to 40 grams per decitex and a plurality of cabled strands helically wound around the core, each cabled strand comprising of a plurality of metal strands helically wound around a center second bundle of synthetic filaments that have a filament tenacity of from 10 to 40 grams per decitex. The ratio of the largest cross sectional dimension of the first bundle of synthetic filaments to the largest cross sectional dimension of the second bundle of synthetic filaments is from 1.5:1 to 20:1. The metallic filaments of the cabled strands have an elongation at break that is no more than 24 percent different from the elongation at break of the synthetic filaments of the first and second bundles.
Abstract:
An elevator system with a car or platform to transport passengers and/or goods as well as with a counterweight, which are arranged as traversable or movable along a travel path, and which are coupled and/or with a drive by a suspension element interrelating their motion. The suspension element is guided and/or driven by a traction sheave and/or a drive shaft and/or a deflecting pulley. The suspension element is sheathed and/or belt-type, with a first layer made of a first plasticizable and/or elastomeric material, containing a first exterior surface, and with at least one tension member—rope-type, tissue-type, or comprising a multitude of partial elements—that is embedded in the first layer of the suspension element. A manufacturing procedure for one of the suspension elements is provided.
Abstract:
There is provided a steel cord including a plurality of untwisted core filaments of steel aligned in parallel, and a layer of sheath filaments of steel twisted around the core filaments so as to be unevenly distributed around the core filaments, wherein interstices between the filaments are maintained during vulcanization thereby achieving improved rubber penetration (sufficiently adhering rubber to the core filaments). Since the cross sectional length of the steel cord 10 is greater than the minimum cross sectional length, interstices A are maintained between sheath filaments 14 under the tension and pressure p of the surrounding rubber 16 applied to the steel cord 10 during vulcanization. Rubber 16 penetrates into the steel cord 10 through the interstices A, and sufficiently adhere to core filaments 12 to achieve high rubber penetration.
Abstract:
A steel cord (1) for the reinforcement of rubber articles having M parallel + N structure consists of a core (2) of two steel filaments (2a,2b) and a single sheath (3) of seven or eight steel filaments (4), wherein the diameter dc of the core filaments is within a range of 0.30 - 0.38 mm, wherein the diameter ds of the sheath filaments is within a specified range depending on whether the sheath comprises seven or eight filaments, and wherein a twisting pitch P of the sheath filaments is not less than 50 times the diameter dc of the core filament but not more than 120 times the diameter ds of the sheath filament.
Abstract:
A process for producing a steel cord for pneumatic tyres with a bunch of wires, the core of which consists of wire filaments (10) arranged in a bunch parallel and adjacent to one another. There are advantageously at least three wire filaments (10, 20), where at least two wire filaments (10) are spirally wound as filaments (10) forming a core (60) and run parallel and beside each other and at least one wire filament is spirally wound around the two core filaments (10) as the wrapping wire (20). According to the invention, the spiral deformation of the wire filaments (10) is obtained by false twisters (40). This spiral deformation of the wire filaments (10) especially prevents migration of the filaments from the cord composite. It is an advantage if residual torsional stresses between the core filaments and in connection with the restoring forces of the wrapping wire are relieved. The steel cord also advantageously has a flattened, especially oval, shape.
Abstract:
A steel cord for the reinforcement of rubber articles has a three-layer twisting structure comprising a core (1) of 2 steel filaments, a middle sheath layer (2) of 6 steel filaments, and an outer sheath layer (3) of 11 steel filaments, in which a ratio ds/dc of filament diameter ds in the middle and outer sheath layers to filament diameter dc in the core is within a range of 1.15-1.5, and a twisting pitch of the core is not less than 20 mm. Such steel cord may be used as a reinforcing member in for example a heavy duty pneumatic radial tire or a conveyor belt.
Abstract:
A steel cord has a core-sheath double layer structure having a 2 + 7 cord construction or a 2 + 8 cord construction. The twisting direction of the core is the same as that of the sheath, the forming rate Rc of the filaments (1) of the core is 103 to 120%, and the forming rate Rs of the filaments (2) of the sheath is 102 to 115%. A pneumatic radial tire using such steel cords in a belt layer is also disclosed.
