Abstract:
Endlosseil (100), wobei eine Vielzahl von Fasern zur Bildung des Endlosseils (100) verbunden sind. Das Endlosseil (100) weist eine erste Schlaufe (112) und eine zweite Schlaufe (113) auf. Die Fasern (110) sind in mindestens einem Abschnitt (S) des Endlosseils (100) in ein formgebendes Matrixmaterial (120) eingebettet, sodass das Endlosseil (100) im Bereich des Abschnitts (S) eine definierte und fixierte Querschnittsfläche und Querschnittsform aufweist. Das Endlosseil (100) kann als Hochsicherheitsseil (100) zur Fixierung eines Rades über eine Radaufhängung mit dem Chassis eines Rennautos eingesetzt werden. Das Endlosseil (100) ist mit der ersten Schlaufe (112) an ein Rad fixierbar und mit der zweiten Schlaufe (113) an dem Chassis eines Rennautos fixierbar. Das Endlosseil (100) ist mit verringerte Bauhöhe bei ausreichender Querschnittsflächengrösse einbaubar.
Abstract:
An exemplary method of making a woven fabric (20A, 20B) includes weaving a plurality of load supporting tension members (22A, 22B) and a plurality of cross fibers (24) together into a woven fabric (20A, 20B). Two woven fabrics (20A, 20B) are positioned next to each other. The two woven fabrics (20A, 20B) include a spacing between adjacent tension members (22A, 22B) having a first dimension. At least one tension member (22A) of one woven fabric (20A) is aligned with and between two of the tension members (22B) of the other woven fabric (20B) to thereby decrease the spacing to a second, smaller dimension.
Abstract:
There is disclosed a method of forming an eye end termination on a rope having a core comprising a plurality of multi-strand subropes, and a rope having a core comprising a plurality of multi-strand subropes and at least one eye end termination. In one embodiment, a method of forming an eye end termination (16) on a rope (10) having a core (12) is disclosed. The rope comprises a plurality of multi-strand subropes (14) each of a first strength, and the method comprising the steps of: coupling a pair of subropes ( 14) in the rope core ( 12) together using a multi-strand coupling rope ( 18) of a second strength which is greater than said first strength, to thereby form at least part of the eye end termination (16). The step of coupling the pair of subropes (14) together comprises splicing a first portion of a coupling rope (18) to one of the subropes in the pair of subropes, and splicing a second portion of the coupling rope to the other one of the subropes in the pair of subropes.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a high strength fibers comprising a coating of cross-linked silicone polymer, and ropes made thereof. The fibers are preferably high performance polyethylene (HPPE) fibers. The coating comprising a cross-linked silicone polymer is made from a coating composition comprising a cross-linkable silicone polymer. The rope shows markedly improved service life performance in bending applications such as cyclic bend-over-sheave applications. The invention also relates to the use of a cross-linked silicone polymer in a rope for an improvement of bend fatigue resistance.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a cable comprising a bundle of substantially parallel stretched strands (3) contained in at least a plastic protective sheath section (1). The plastic material of the sheath section extends between the strands to form a coherent matrix for spacing the strands. The invention is particular useful as prestressed cable, bracing guy or carrying cables for suspension bridges.
Abstract:
A rope (1) for traction having a double structure of a core member (2) coated with a sheath member (3), wherein said core member (2) comprises a molecularly oriented shaped article of an ultrahigh molecular weight polyolefin, and said sheath member (3) comprises a braid.

Abstract:
A belt (16) for suspending and/or driving an elevator system component include one or more metallic cord tension elements (38) extending along a length of the belt (16), and one or more non-metallic tension elements (40) extending along a length of the belt (16). Each non-metallic tension element (40) is formed from a non-metallic material. The one or more metallic cord tension elements (38) and the one or more non-metallic tension elements (40) are arrayed laterally across a lateral width (28) of the belt (16). The belt (16) may be used in an elevator system including a hoistway, a drive machine having a traction sheave coupled thereto, and an elevator car movable within the hoistway. The belt (16) is operably connected to the elevator car and interactive with the traction sheave to suspend and/or drive the elevator car along the hoistway.
Abstract:
To provide a rope which is light in weight and flexible per se, resistant to invasion of sand granules and the like into strands thereof, and less prone to suffer fiber breakage caused by the sand granules nor to suffer per se inadvertent breakage under a small tensile load. The rope includes: a core material formed by paralleling, twisting or braiding a plurality of yarns; and a filter material that covers a periphery of the core material and is comprised of a tubular woven fabric formed by weaving warp yarns and weft yarns.
