Abstract:
An assembly for lifting comprises at least one elongated element and a polymer layer surrounding the at least one elongated element, the assembly (10,16,26,38,40,50,52,56,64,70,80) has an upper side (8,18,30,42,58) and a lower side (12,20,32,44,60), and the upper side and the lower side are mutually opposing. The upper side is provided with a first profiled surface, and the lower side is provided with a second profiled surface, wherein the second profiled surface is engaging with the first profiled surface when the assembly is coiled. The present invention further relates to the application of such an assembly in a harbour crane. The present invention also relates to a harbour crane using such an assembly and a reel (84).
Abstract:
A steel cord (10) adapted for the reinforcement of elastomeric products comprises a core strand (12) and a layer of outer strands (14) arranged around the core strand (12). The core strand (12) comprises a core and at least a layer arranged around the core. The core further comprises one to three core filaments and the layer further comprises three to nine layer filaments. The core strand (12) has a first wave form and each filament of the outer strands (14) has a second wave form such that the first wave form is substantially different from the second wave form. This allows to guarantee full rubber penetration.
Abstract:
A steel cord (20) adapted for the reinforcement of rubber products, comprising an inner strand of at least three and no more than seven filaments (22a- 22f) twisted together in a first twist direction with a first twist step and further comprising a layer of filaments (24) twisted around said inner strand in a second twist direction with a second twist step. One of the filaments (22a- 22f) of the inner strand is alternatingly taking the position as core filament. The alternating role of the filaments to function as core filament provides a good mechanical anchorage of this core filament in the steel cord and the outer layer (24) provides an outer surface with a decreased roughness so that processability problems are avoided or at least reduced to a minimum.
Abstract:
A steel cord (20) comprises a plurality of steel filaments (22, 24) arranged in parallel to the longitudinal axis of the steel cord (20) without twisting. The steel cord (20) further comprises a wrapping filament (26) twisted around the steel cord (20). Each of said steel filaments (22, 24) is a flat wire having flat surfaces. The steel filament (24) near the center of the steel cord (20) has a bigger width than the steel filaments (22) further away from the center of the steel cord (20) such that the cross-section of said steel cord (20) approximates an oval shape with the bending stiffness around the shorter axis of the oval shape being greater than the bending stiffness around the longer axis. In a tire, the steel cord being used as a reinforcement, the longer axis being arranged perpendicular to the radial direction of the tire.
