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:
The invention includes a composite cable having a plurality of strands (10, 12) stranded around a composite synthetic core (5) with a concentric structure. The core (5) has a nucleus (11) formed by a bundle of parallel synthetic fibers extending along the cable longitudinal direction, and of a compact thermoplastic sheath (13) enclosing the nucleus (11) and serving as winding support for the strands.
Abstract:
A filler element is located between each adjacent pair of outer strands of a wire rope and interlocks with the adjacent strands. The filler elements provide the rope with substantially smooth outer surface reducing vibration of the rope passing over a pulley. Filler elements are disclosed consisting of an elastometic or polymeric material having an oriented molecular structure aligned along the filler element and also aligned in a generally radial direction with respect to the rope.
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:
A wire rope which includes a filler material disposed in the interstices between a core rope and respective outer strands and/or in the gaps between individual outer strands wherein the filler element is placed independently in the respective interstices and gaps or an interstice and an outwardly contiguous strand gap as an independent unit. A reinforcing core is anchored in the filler element at least in the interstices between the core rope and the respective outer strands.
