Wire rope, galvanized • Made of the best wire rope with a nominal strength of 1770 N/mm² • With lay length and free of tension • According to EN 12385-4, lay lengths and tension-free wire ropes and their advantages: 1. The strands of the ropes are pre-formed. Cut ropes maintain their position without the need for binding at the cut interface. 2. Since all strands are evenly stretched, the load is distributed uniformly across all individual wires in the rope. 3. The ropes have a low tendency to form kinks. 4. The unloaded wire rope is free of tension, as the wires have no pre-load. Therefore, the ropes show little tendency to twist under load. 5. The ropes are characterized by particularly high flexibility. 6. Lay lengths and tension-free ropes have a significantly increased lifespan compared to standard wire ropes. Note: The recommended maximum load capacity is a calculated value based on the minimum breaking load (MBL) and a safety factor of 6. The level of the chosen safety factor depends on the specific application and the applicable regulations. Example of maximum load capacity for a 3 mm wire rope: max. kg = MBL = 530 kN ~ 90 kg. Construction: A wire rope consists of a number of strands, which in turn consist of a number of wires. Additionally, fiber inserts are integrated to support the strands, reduce vibrations in the wire rope, and accommodate lubricants, e.g.: 5 x 7 + 1 -> 5 strands with 7 wires each and 1 fiber insert. Important note: The use of wire ropes must only be carried out in accordance with accident prevention regulations and the related EN standards.
