Abstract:
A braided rope (10) includes a plurality of primary strands (12), and each of the primary strands (12) includes a plurality of fibers (16) which have a first coefficient of friction with itself. The rope (10) also includes a secondary strand resp. a core (14) surrounded by the plurality of primary strands (12). The secondary strand resp. core (14) includes a structurally-stable, non-flowable, material having a second coefficient of friction with the fibers (16) of the primary strands, wherein the second coefficient of friction is lower than the first coefficient of friction. The rope (10) may be of 12 x 12 braided construction and includes a core (14) for its length. The rope has reduced internal wear and therefore a longer service life and improved friction properties compared to braided ropes with a core, lubricated with flowable material. A method of constructing the rope is disclosed, too.
Abstract:
An elongation cord (10) adapted for the reinforcement of elastorner structures has a polymer core (12) and three to nine strands (14) twisted around the core with a cord twisting step in a cord twisting direction. At least one of the strands (14) has a first group (16) of filaments (17, 18) and a second group (20) of filaments (21, 22). The first group (16) of filaments (17, 18) is twisted with a first twisting step in a first twisting direction and the second group (20) of filaments (21, 22) is twisted with a second twisting step in a second twisting direction. The first twisting step is different from the second twisting step or the first twisting direction is different from the second twisting direction, or both. The first twisting direction is equal to the cord twisting direction and the first twisting step is equal to the cord twisting step.
Abstract:
A rope with high stiffness and breaking strength is provided. The rope is produced by providing a stiff core (1) and fibre rope jacket (4) surrounding the core and by changing the phase condition of the core while stretching the rope, such that inside vacancies between the fibre rope jacket (4) and the core (1)are eliminated permanently. A method and apparatus for producing such rope are provided, wherein the core (1) is heated up and stretched such that it will be permanently elongated. In a preferred embodiment the thermoplastic core (1) changes from solid phase to liquid phase by means of heating. While in liquid phase the core material adapts to the encapsulating space of the surrounding sheet. The rope is then cooled down under tension until the core has returned to solid phase.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a composite cord (10) for reinforcement of elastomers comprising a core (12) of a high polymer material, a first layer of steel filaments (14) twisted around said core and a second layer of steel filaments (16) twisted around said first layer. The polymer material is present in a sufficient volume to create gaps between adjacent filaments of the first layer and possibly also between the filaments of the second layer. The composite cord is characterised by a decreased fretting of the steel filaments.
Abstract:
With a wire rope comprising at least one plastic core (11) and a number of wire strands (15) twisted around the latter a helical groove (20) is respectively produced by machining around the periphery of the plastic core (11) for each wire strand (15). The cross section of these helical grooves (20) is respectively matched to the outside diameter of the wire strands (15). The plastic core (11) is provided with the helical grooves (20) for receiving the wire strands (15) by this machining directly before the wire strands (15) are wound onto said core. By thus forming the wire rope by means of this machining in order to produce helical grooves of the plastic core, optimal guiding of the wire strands in the twisted state is achieved, and so overall there are improvements to the properties of the wire rope.
