Rope Selector for Reference Values of Technical Cable Data
Simply compare the typical values of the technical rope specifications for various rope constructions in strength class 1960.
Rope Diameter
| Rope Type | Outer Wire Diameter | Weight | Minimum Breaking Load | Minimum Sheave Diameter |
|---|
Important Information
– Minimum breaking force always refers to the rope in new condition and depends upon the nominal wire strength
– The effective breaking force of damaged or deformed ropes may be lower than the stated minimum breaking force
– During assembly work, maintain a safety factor in relation to rope breaking forces of at least 2.5. If used as auxiliary ropes for assembly, reductions in breaking force due to external influences such as tight deflections, sharp edges, excessively small deflection radii, etc. must also be considered.
