VIEW Breaking load How do CASAR Special Wire Ropes achieve their high breaking loads? VIEW Compacting Ropes made from compacted strands have much higher breaking loads and are more flexible compared to those made from conventional strands. VIEW Computer Aided Rope Design (CARD) With the help of the CASAR-developed CARD (Computer Aided Rope Design) program, the structure of each rope is optimized. VIEW Efficiency and Flexibility CASAR Special Wire Ropes are designed to provide maximum flexibility. The high flexibility is achieved by a combination of different technologies. VIEW Elasticity and Elongation What gives CASAR Special Wire Ropes the best stress-strain behavior? VIEW Lubrication At CASAR, lubrication takes place during the production of both the strands and the ropes. VIEW Parallel Lay What is a parallel lay rope? VIEW Plastic Layer Under dynamic loads, the plastic layer acts as a buffer or shock absorber and reduces peak loading of the rope. VIEW Rotation Why are CASAR Special Wire Ropes so rotation-resistant? VIEW Rotation Resistance In a conventional rope, an external load creates a moment which tries to untwist the rope and to rotate the load. VIEW Swivel Usage Using an active, in-line, anti-friction swivel with the majority of types and classes of wire ropes is detrimental to their service life and can lead to unpredictable conditions during operation. This product bulletin provides the basic reasoning behind why swivels aren't recommended for use with wire ropes except for those that exhibit a similar torque characteristic to that of a category 1 rotation-resistant rope.
