Bending Fatigue
Conventional rope designs often do not meet the requirements of modern reeving systems, resulting in a shorter service life.
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.
