Abstract:
The flattened strand rope of the invention comprises wedge-shaped strands, each made up of wires wound on a core. At least a portion of the strand wires are fashioned as twisted wire groups in which the wires are sector-shaped and in contact with each other over helical surfaces. With such a structural embodiment of the flattened strand wire, use can be made of thin and, consequently, stronger and more flexible wires, thereby increasing the strength and flexibility of the rope and making for the use of the rope in the various branches of industry, including lifting mechanisms with large or small drum diameters.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a needle-pass paper cord (200) made of paper. The paper cord is formed by means of weaving yarn (201) made of paper, and the yarn has a cross-section that is similar to a circle formed of a thread folded to a point.
Abstract:
Provided is a cable including a stranded member floating-preventing element that can be easily peeled off. A power transmission line core includes one core member and six side members twisted around the core member, each member obtained by impregnating a fiber bundle including a plurality of carbon fibers that are continuous in the longitudinal direction and bundled into the fiber bundle with a resin and curing the resin. A tow including a plurality of tow fibers that are continuous in the longitudinal direction and arranged flatly and densely is spirally wound around the surface of the power transmission line core in the direction opposite to the twisting direction of the side members. The tow is detachably entangled in the unevenness on the surface of the power transmission line core.
Abstract:
A cord comprises a braided sheath of strands having an outer surface, an inner surface, and a central hollow portion defined by the inner surface and having a volume and a core within the central hollow portion of the tubular braided sheath, such that when the cord is in a relaxed state the tubular braided sheath has a cylindrical shape and a relaxed volume of the central hollow portion wherein the core does not fill the relaxed volume of the central hollow portion of the tubular braided sheath; when the cord is in a longitudinal tensioned state, the tubular braided sheath elongates under the longitudinal tension such that a tensioned volume of at least a part of the central hollow portion of the tubular braided sheath is less than the relaxed volume; and the inner surface of the tubular braided sheath of tensioned volume contacts and cinches a surface of the core.
Abstract:
The object of the invention is a traction sheave elevator and a rope that contains metal as a load-bearing material, such as the suspension rope of an elevator, which rope comprises at least one or more strands laid from metal wires and which rope is lubricated with a lubricant. Another object is the use of the aforementioned lubricant for lubricating the rope. The lubricant comprises at least oil and thickener, which thickener in the lubricant comprises at least 10% or more of the mass of the lubricant.
Abstract:
A product comprising a plurality of interlaced yarns wherein at least a first yarn having a tensile strength, having a value TS in N/tex, said first yarn containing a plurality of UHMWPE fibres having a titer, having a value T in den, wherein the ratio T/TS is at least 5 den.tex/N. The tensile strength is obtained by adjusting the drawing ratio or the UHMWPE filaments/fibres accordingly. The product shows resistance to abrasion. The product can be a rope or round slings, comprising a sheath/jacket comprising said first yarn.
Abstract:
A rope (210, 310) having a three-layered structure comprising a core layer, an inner layer and an outer layer, the core layer comprising one strand (225, 315), the inner layer comprising multiple strands (220) with an amount n and the outer layer comprising multiple strands (215) with an amount m, wherein n is an uneven number, and m is a number which has no common divisor with n, each strand is formed by multiple twisted metal filaments. By this structure fretting of the strands is reduced and the life time of the rope is improved. Also, the use of the rope in lifting application and an elevator system comprising such a rope are disclosed.
