Abstract:
The invention relates to a hoisting rope (2,2') for a hoisting apparatus, the hoisting rope (2,2') having a longitudinal direction (l), thickness direction (t) and width direction (w), and comprising a group (G) of load bearing members (3) made of composite material comprising reinforcing fibers (F) embedded in polymer matrix (m); and a coating (4) encasing said group (G) of load bearing members (3); wherein said load bearing members (3) extend in an untwisted manner inside the coating (4) parallel with each other as well as with the longitudinal direction (l) of the rope (2,2') throughout the length thereof, said load bearing members (3) being substantially larger in width direction than in thickness direction of the rope (2,2') and stacked against each other in thickness direction (t) of the rope (2,2'). The invention also relates to an elevator comprising said hoisting rope (2,2').
Abstract:
A composite material includes a plurality of fibers embedded in a metal matrix. The composite material further includes a plurality of particles disposed in the metal matrix. At least 25% of the fibers contact or are spaced less than 0.2 micrometers from an adjacent fiber within the metal matrix.
Abstract:
A reelable slickline for use in downhole or subsea operations has a structural core comprising a plurality of non-metallic fibres in a matrix. The fibres represent in the region of 30 to 50 % of the volume of the core.
Abstract:
An uncured, composite rope includes at least one inner tow of structural fibers of a first material and a plurality of outer tows of structural fibers disposed about the at least one inner tow, the structural fibers of at least one of the plurality of outer tows being made from a second material that is different from the first material. The uncured, composite rope further includes an uncured polymeric resin impregnated into the at least one inner tow and the plurality of outer tows.
Abstract:
A hoisting machine rope (10), which has a width larger than its thickness in a transverse direction of the rope, which comprises a load-bearing part (11) made of a composite material, said composite material comprising non-metallic reinforcing fibers, which consist of carbon fiber or glass fiber, in a polymer matrix. An elevator, which comprises a drive sheave, an elevator car and a rope system for moving the elevator car by means of the drive sheave, said rope system comprising at least one rope whose width (t2) is larger than its thickness (tl) in a transverse direction of the rope, and the rope comprises a load- bearing part (11) made of a composite material, said composite material comprising reinforcing fibers in a polymer matrix.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a fiber reinforced plastic wire used as the overhead transmission cable. The fiber reinforced plastic wire for a strength member of an overhead transmission cable according to the present invention includes a wire having a predetermined diameter and composed of thermoset matrix resin; and a plurality of high strength fibers dispersed parallel to a longitudinal direction in an inside of the wire, the high strength fibers being surface-treated with a coupling agent to improve interfacial adhesion to the matrix resin. The fiber reinforced plastic wire of the present invention has the high tensile strength at the room temperature and the high temperature since its high strength fiber is surface-treated with a coupling agent. The fiber reinforced plastic wire can be also effectively used as the strength member in the overhead transmission cable since it has the excellent low coefficient of thermal expansion, etc. and is light-weight.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Seils (1), bei dem Faserbündel (2) zur Bildung von Faserlitzen (3) vor und/oder an einem Verseilpunkt mit einem verflüssigten Matrixmaterial (5) belegt und beim Verlitzen in das verflüssigte Matrixmaterial (5) eingebettet werden, mittels der Faserlitzen (3) ein Faserkern (6) des Seils (1) gebildet wird und um den Faserkern (6) Drähte oder Drahtlitzen (7) gewunden werden. Erfindungsgemäß wird das Matrixmaterial der Faserlitzen nach der Verlitzung verfestigt und die Faserlitzen (3) werden zur Bildung des Faserkerns (6) anschließend ohne weitere Belegung unmittelbar miteinander verseilt. Zweckmäßigerweise werden die Faserlitzen (3) bei oder nach ihrer Verseilung zu dem Faserkern (6) erwärmt derart, dass das Matrixmaterial (5) zumindest einzelner der Faserlitzen (3), vorzugsweise sämtliche der Faserlitzen (3), erweicht, sich mit dem Matrixmaterial (5) jeweils anderer der Faserlitzen (3) verbindet und anschließend unter Bildung eines Stoffschlusses untereinander verfestigt wird. Die Erfindung betrifft ferner ein mittels des Verfahrens herstellbares Seil.
Abstract:
A rope structure comprising a core component comprising core fibers combine to form a first rope structure and a first cover component comprising first cover strands comprising first cover fibers within a first matrix material. The first cover strands are arranged around at least a portion of the core component.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a cable comprising filaments (10) containing carbon, surrounded by a sizing material (12). Said filaments (10) surrounded by the sizing material (12) are covered by a matrix (14) which is composed of a material containing at least one elastomer and/or at least one thermoplastic elastomer. Said cable can be used, in particular for pulling a load, for example in a goods lift.
Abstract:
A resin-impregnated, structural fiber rope includes a plurality of tows disposed in a bundle, each of the plurality of tows including a plurality of structural fibers, and uncured polymeric resin impregnated into the bundle. Each of the plurality of structural fibers defines an angle with respect to a central axis of the rope of no more than about 10 degrees.
