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 steel cord (30) with a high elongation at break of at least 5% comprises n strands (20), each of said strands (20) has m filaments (10) twisted together, n ranges from 2 to 7. m ranges from 2 to 9. The strands and the filaments are twisted in a same direction. The lay length of the cord is Lc and the lay length of said strand is Ls. The ratio of Ls to Lc (Ls/Lc) ranges from 0.25 to 1. Lc ranges from 16 mm to 26 mm. The strands are helically preformed. The E-modulus of the cord is more than 150000 N/mm2. The helical preforming of the strands allows to obtain a high elongation at break and a high E-modulus despite its long lay length Lc.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a composite twisted cable formed by impregnating carbon fibers with thermoplastic resin, and provides a fiber composite twisted cable which allows downsizing of a reel by being easy to be bent, can be transported to mountain areas which is normally hard to achieve a transport with a large vehicle, is hard to be curled, and is superior in workability. It is a cable having 1×n structure which is formed by impregnating bundles of carbon fibers with thermosetting resin, then twisting a plurality of strands each formed by covering an outer periphery of the bundle with a fiber, and then curing the thermosetting resin by applying the heat treatment, and a core strand and side strands which constitute the cable are separated and independent without being bonded so as to allow independent behavior of the respective strands when the cable is bent.

Abstract:
A combined cable comprising a core cable of high-strength synthetic fibers, which take the form of a twisted bundle of monofilaments or a plurality of twisted bundles of monofilaments, and comprising an outer layer of steel wire strands, is characterized in that the bundle or bundles of monofilaments is or are stretched, with a reduction in diameter, and held in this state by a sheathing, in particular a braided sheathing. The extension under strain of the core cable under load is thereby reduced, so that the load distribution between the cross section of steel and the cross section of synthetic material of the cable improves.In order, in the same sense, conversely to make the strain behavior of the layer of strands approximate that of the core cable, the cable has an intermediate layer of an elastic synthetic material into which the steel wire strands are pressed while spaced apart from one another in such a way that the outer layer extends under load, and contracts radially.A strand can be analogously constructed.
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 flexible traction organ that can be wound and unwound, in particular for passenger and/or goods lifts, said organ comprising at least one stranded cable consisting of a tensile resistant material. The core strand of each stranded cable is surrounded by a flexible thermoplastic plastic layer. A production line for embedding several stranded cables in a flexible thermoplastic layer comprises a respective reel for unwinding the stranded cable, a device for accurately aligning the stranded cable, a heating element for pre-heating the stranded cable, at least one extruder for co-extruding the stranded cable in a flexible plastic sheathing, a cooling vat, a reel storage unit, a cutting unit and a reserve reel. The extruder, a wire guide and at least one die can be adjusted individually, conjointly and in relation to one another on a plane (P) that runs at an angle to the cable plane (E). The unwound stranded cables are degreased and/or pre-treated to improve the adhesion of the plastic sheathing, and pre-heated to a temperature of approximately ±20° C. in relation to the melting temperature of the flexible, thermoplastic plastic that surrounds the core strand and are sheathed with liquefied plastic in the extruder.
