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.
Abstract:
A wire cable and a device and method for producing the wire cable, wherein a core strand is compacted and then braid strands are stranded on the core strand. The core strand is hammered before stranding of the braid strands in order to smooth the surface thereof. A plastic layer is applied to the core strand before stranding of the braid strands. The braid strands are pressed into the plastic layer while the plastic layer is heated. The core strand is a core cable and the braid strands are strands of the wire cable or the core strand is a heart strand and the braid strands are outer core strands of a core cable of the wire cable. A greater breaking strength of the wire cable is obtained by hammering the core strand in order to smooth it than by compacting a core strand with a roller compressor.
Abstract:
Method of manufacturing a multi-layer metal cord having a plurality of concentric layers of wires, comprising one or more inner layer(s) and an outer layer, of the type “rubberized in situ. The method includes the following steps: at least one step of sheathing at least one inner layer with the rubber or the rubber composition by passing through at least one extrusion head; and an assembling step in which the wires of the outer layer are assembled around the inner layer adjacent to it, in order to form the multi-layer cord thus rubberized from the inside. The rubber is an unsaturated thermoplastic elastomer extruded in the molten state, preferably a thermoplastic elastomer of the thermoplastic stirene (TPS) elastomer type such as an SBS, SBBS, SIS or SBIS block copolymer for example.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for producing a high strength synthetic strength member (7) containing rope (1) capable of being used with powered blocks where such rope has lighter weight and similar or greater strength than steel wire strength member containing ropes used with powered blocks. Disclosed also is the product resulting from such method. The product includes a synthetic strength member, a first synthetic portion (9) and a second synthetic portion. The first synthetic portion is enclosed within the strength member and the second synthetic portion is situated external the strength member. At least a portion of the second synthetic portion also is situated internal a sheath (8) formed about the strength member. The second synthetic portion has a minimal of 8% at a temperature of between negative 20 and negative 15° C.

Abstract:
One aspect of this invention concerns a multi-strand steel wire rope (28, 32, 36, 46, 50) comprising multiple strands (3, 10, 38) laid up helically on a core (30, 34,), characterised in that at least some of the strands are deep strands (10, 38), i.e. strands with a heightwidth ratio greater than unity. Another aspect of the invention concerns the deep strand (10, 38) itself.
Abstract:
A core for wire rope has a fluted member (1) of polymeric or elastomeric material with symmetrically spaced helical grooves (2) each having the shape of an elliptical arc in cross-section in a plane normal to the core axis. The core may contain a reinforcing member, conductors, or optical fibers.
