Main defining
characteristics of our steel cables |
|
| Diameter: | by the diameter of a
rope we mean the diameter of a limited circumference to a straight line, expressed in
millimetres |
| Formation: | number of cores, the number and bedding of the
strands and the wires that make them
|
| Winding direction: | this is the sense in which the wires and
strands are wound around the cable core
|
|
Breaking load: |
the breaking load of a rope depends mainly on the
resistence to breakage of the single wires and the composition of the
rope itself |
| Proctective coating of the wires: |
the elementary wires of the rope are polished ( protected by a light coat of grease) or galvanized
