Technical manufacturing possibilities of ropes with large diameters and long lengths

RoundTable – ENDURANCE RESEARCH OF WIRE ROPE AND ITS PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS – Glasgow 1985

Presently ropes with large diameters and lengths can be manufactured, where piece weights of approx. 200 t are obtainable. The maximum diameter is 310 mm for round strand ropes, 180 mm for full locked coil ropes and 160 mm for open spiral ropes. These possibilities will for the years to come comply with the demands of the market.
