Selection criteria for custom-made steel wire rope
Various factors need to be taken into account when developing your customised rope solution:
External influences: What external influences such as temperature, moisture or dirt affect the rope?
Breaking load and forces: What forces does the rope or strand have to withstand?
Surface treatment: Are special treatments such as cleaning, hammering or greasing required to achieve optimum performance?
Fabrication and terminations: What terminations are required? Are there any special requirements such as a cage loop or customised terminations?
1. rope construction and structure
Components:
The central part of the rope, the rope core, consists of either a steel core or fiber cores. The strands are the outer strands that surround the rope around the core. They are made up of twisted wire bundles that transmit the tensile force of the rope.
Influencing factors:
Whether the rope is designed to be used for tensile forces, bending forces or lifting applications influences the construction.
The rope construction determines whether the breaking force and tensile strength correspond to the load requirement (more strands = higher strength).
The number of wires per strand and the direction of lay (right or left) influence the flexibility and pliability of the rope.
2. selection of the rope material
Components:
Metal wires made of steel, stainless steel, galvanised steel, copper or special alloys such as Monel, Inconel, titanium, Nitinol, etc.
Sheathing made of nylon, FEP, PTFE or other plastics.
Influencing factors:
Ropes used in harsh environments such as seawater or chemicals require materials with high corrosion resistance such as stainless steel or special alloys to withstand the environmental conditions.
At extreme temperatures, materials such as Inconel or tungsten are more suitable.
To increase the service life, coated ropes or hammered surfaces can be selected to increase abrasion resistance.
3. diameter and rope cross-section
Components:
The rope diameter (between 0.09 mm and 8.00 mm for Carl Stahl Technocables) influences the load capacity and flexibility.
Influencing factors:
A larger diameter increases the breaking strength, but reduces the flexibility.
Tight installation space specifications or special machine designs may require a smaller diameter.
A larger rope also has a higher weight, which can be a limiting factor in certain applications.
4. end connections (terminals)
Components:
Clamps, eyelets, hooks, threads or die-cast end connections.
Influencing factors:
Depending on the application, a specific end connection can be selected to integrate the rope safely and functionally into the system.
Brass, steel or stainless steel end connections must be selected to suit the environment (corrosion, load).
Some end connections facilitate installation or subsequent maintenance.
5. surface treatment and finishing
Components:
Coatings made of nylon, FEP, PTFE or other plastics, hammered or compacted ropes to increase abrasion resistance.
Greased or cleaned ropes to improve the sliding properties or corrosion resistance.
Influencing factors:
In applications with high friction, a swaged or coated rope surface can significantly increase the service life.
In environments with high humidity or salt water, a sheath or stainless steel rope can protect against corrosion.
Cleaned ropes are used wherever there are high demands on cleanliness, minimal residual contamination and deep cleanliness, such as in medical technology.
What we offer: Customised production of the finest mechanical ropes and strands
Rope production: customised steel ropes
Our strength lies in the manufacture of the finest mechanical ropes and strands that are precisely customised to the desired requirements. In our state-of-the-art rope manufacturing facility, we develop ropes with steel or fibre cores and optimise the construction and lay direction for maximum performance. We not only work with traditional materials such as stainless steel and galvanised steel, but also offer steel wire ropes made from highly specialised materials such as copper, tungsten, nitinol, brass, titanium, tantalum, monel, inconel and hastelloy. In addition, our ropes can be coated with plastics, compacted, hammered, cleaned or greased.
Rope manufacture: precise and customised
We supply our products both by the metre and assembled - with a wide range of end connections such as terminals made of brass, steel, stainless steel or die-cast zinc, which are available from stock or manufactured to individual requirements.
Our focus: High-quality, long-term reliable rope solutions
