As a rope manufacturer, we have been producing strands and wire ropes since 1880 and, as a development supplier for customer-specific rope solutions, we are also able to produce conductive rope solutions. From high-quality materials, we manufacture ropes and strands with different rope constructions and lay directions for electrical engineering. The conductive wire parts transmit electrical energy and mechanical tensile forces.
A conductive wire rope from the e-rope product range consists of stainless steel or galvanized steel wires that are stranded with wires made of copper, depending on the design.
The high conductivity of the low-voltage rope is achieved by the copper strand or wires contained in the rope.
We also offer our conductive ropes with an insulating coating. On request, they can be assembled ready for installation.

Individual current conducting wire rope
Our e-rope product line is highly conductive due to the special material mixture and has been developed for the transmission of protective extra-low voltage, as well as mechanical forces. The current-conducting wire ropes can have a higher stiffness or a higher resistance to bending cycles according to the customer's requirements. The e-rope ropes are mainly used in applications where they have a dual purpose, where both mechanical and electrical properties are required. The advantages for our customers are simpler design and production. Material and space saving as well as optical aspects also play an important role. The current-conducting ropes of the e-rope brand are flexible and resilient. Thanks to the flexible rope construction, they can also be guided via deflection pulleys. The e-rope low-voltage rope offers clear advantages with dual use, e.g. in LED lighting technology as a low-voltage rope system. Here, as a low-voltage rope system, it replaces the conventional power cable and simultaneously acts as a suspension rope.
To increase conductivity, e-rope brand ropes are stranded with wires made of copper. They consist not only of a copper rope or strand, but also contain wires made of galvanized steel or stainless steel to maintain the mechanical properties. As a result, the rope simultaneously serves as a conductor and can also absorb mechanical forces. An e-rope steel cable replaces one core of an electric cable. A current-carrying cable is thus no longer required for the application in question.
