摘要:
An anti-vibration extruded sheathing (4) for cables (2) such as deep water mooring lines, mast stays and bridge cables, an extrusion method and extrusion apparatus comprising a rotatable die (35) for providing such sheathing (4) with at least one integral helical strake (5) are disclosed. The width of the strake (5) can be adjusted from a maximal width to a minimal width during the extrusion process, wherein the minimal width is adjustable to 0. By this means, a strake (5) with interruptions in the longitudinal direction of the cable can be produced in an efficient manner. Also a method and an apparatus for providing the sheathing with indicia using a laser marking unit (20) is disclosed.
摘要:
The present invention provides a spiral strand formed of a plurality of layers, each layer being formed of a plurality of individual wires. At least one inner layer is adapted to have a greater resistance to radial forces than other layers, such that the inner layer is better able to resist the higher radial forces that are generated within the inner layers of relatively larger spiral strands, for example strands that have seven or more layers provided radially outwardly of the adapted inner layer. The inner layer may be adapted by including shaped wires that provide contact surfaces between layers that have a greater surface area.

摘要:
Metallic load-carrying elements (3, 23) are helically spun around a central member (1, 21) comprising a supporting member or members (9, 24) constituting a structure (4, 24) which defines at least one passage (6, 26) wholly accommodating at least one electrical or optical transmission element (7, 27). The transmission element is thereby protected against stresses applied to the load-carrying elements. The central structure is radially and longitudinally self-supporting. The central member (1, 21) is formed by causing the supporting member or members (9, 24) and the transmission element or elements (7, 27) to converge to a point from which the central member (1, 21) is withdrawn continuously. The load-carrying elements (3, 23) are subsequently applied to the central member (1, 21). Cales of practically unlimited length can be produced.
