Copper wire or copper strand with stainless steel or galvanised steel wires

The conductive wire ropes with copper wire in our e-rope product line transmit electrical energy and mechanical tensile forces. They simultaneously fulfill the function of a power cable and a wire rope. A current-carrying wire rope from the e-rope product range consists of stainless steel or galvanised steel wires that are stranded with copper wire or a copper strand, depending on the design. The high conductivity of the low-voltage rope is achieved by the copper strand or copper wires contained in the rope. The current-carrying cables of the e-rope brand are manufactured in our cable factory, also with an insulating plastic sheath. They can be assembled ready for installation on request.

Current-carrying cable properties + mechanical properties of a wire rope

Our e-rope product range 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 with copper wire can have a higher stiffness or a higher bending fatigue strength according to customer requirements. The wire ropes of the e-rope brand are mainly used in applications where they fulfill a dual purpose, where both mechanical and electrical properties are required. The advantages for our customers are simpler design and production. Material and space savings as well as visual aspects also play an important role. The current-conducting ropes of the e-rope brand are flexible and resilient. Thanks to the flexible rope structure, 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. As a low-voltage rope system, it replaces the conventional power cable and also acts as a suspension rope.

Copper cable and stainless steel or steel cable combined

To increase conductivity, e-rope brand cables are stranded with copper wires. They not only consist of a copper wire or copper strand, but also contain wires made of galvanized steel or stainless steel to maintain the mechanical properties. This means that the rope also serves as a conductor and can absorb mechanical forces. An e-rope brand steel cable replaces a core of an electric cable. A current-carrying cable is therefore no longer required for the respective application.
