Cable, combined cable made of plastic fibers and steel wire strands, and combined strands made of plastic fibers and steel wires
View Patent ↗A combined cable comprising a core cable of high-strength synthetic fibers, which take the form of a twisted bundle of monofilaments or a plurality of twisted bundles of monofilaments, and comprising an outer layer of steel wire strands, is characterized in that the bundle or bundles of monofilaments is or are stretched, with a reduction in diameter, and held in this state by a sheathing, in particular a braided sheathing. The extension under strain of the core cable under load is thereby reduced, so that the load distribution between the cross section of steel and the cross section of synthetic material of the cable improves.
1. A combined cable comprising a core cable ( 1 , 2 ) of high strength synthetic fibers and an outer layer of steel wire strands ( 4 , 5 ), wherein the synthetic fibers are a bundle or a plurality of bundles of monofilaments, which is or are enclosed by a sheathing, wherein the bundle or bundles of monofilaments ( 1 , 6 ) is or are stretched, with a reduction in diameter, so that the monofilaments are in a final spatial order, forming a stable cross section, wherein the sheathing sits, in a corset-like manner, under prestress on the bundle or the bundles so that the cross section of the bundle or bundles of monofilaments assumed in the stretched state is fixed.
2. The combined cable as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the combined, cable is a cable for suspended use over a great difference in height, which is characterized by changing of the length of lay over the length of the cable, in such a way that the load-specific torque of the wire cable decreases upward.
3. The combined cable as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the fibers are present as a twisted bundle of monofilaments or as a plurality of twisted bundles of monofilaments.
4. The combined cable as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the sheathing ( 2 ) is braided.
5. A combined strand comprising a core ( 6 , 7 ) of high strength synthetic fibers and an outer layer of steel wires ( 9 ), wherein the synthetic fibers are a bundle or a plurality of bundles of monofilaments, which is or are enclosed by a sheathing, wherein the bundle or bundles of monofilaments ( 1 , 6 ) is or are stretched, with a reduction in diameter, so that the monofilaments are in a final spatial order, forming a stable cross section, wherein the sheathing sits, in a corset-like manner, under prestress on the bundle or the bundles so that the cross section of the bundle or bundles of monofilaments assumed in the stretched state is fixed.
6. The combined strand as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the fibers are present as a twisted bundle of monofilaments or as a plurality of twisted bundles of monofilaments.
7. The combined strand as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the sheathing ( 2 ) is braided.
8. A combined cable comprising a core cable ( 1 , 2 ) of high-strength synthetic fibers and an outer layer of steel wire strands ( 4 ; 5 ), wherein the synthetic fibers are a bundle or a plurality of bundles of monofilaments, which is or are stretched, with a reduction of diameter, so that the monofilaments form a stable bundle cross section, and are enclosed by an incompliant sheathing that fixes, in a corset-like manner, the cross section of the bundle or bundles of monofilaments assumed in the stretched state and, in addition to the sheathing, the combined cable has an intermediate layer ( 3 ) of an elastic synthetic material into which the steel wire strands ( 4 ; 5 ) are pressed while spaced apart from one another in such a way that the outer layer extends under load, and contracts radially in order to make strain behavior of the outer layer of steel wire strands approximate strain behavior of the core cable.
9. The combined cable as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the intermediate layer ( 3 ; 8 ) is extruded on.
10. A combined strand comprising a core ( 6 , 7 ) of high-strength synthetic fibers and an outer layer of steel wires ( 9 ), wherein the synthetic fibers are a bundle or a plurality of bundles of monofilaments, which is or are stretched, with a reduction of diameter, so that the monofilaments form a stable bundle cross section, and are enclosed by an incompliant sheathing that fixes, in a corset-like manner, the cross section of the bundle or bundles of monofilaments assumed in the stretched state and, in addition to the sheathing, the combined strand has an intermediate layer ( 8 ) of an elastic synthetic material into which the steel wires ( 9 ) are pressed while spaced apart from one another in such a way that the outer layer extends under load, and contracts radially in order to make strain behavior of the outer layer of steel wire strands approximate strain behavior of the core cable.
11. The combined strand as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the outer strand ( 5 ) is a combined cable, which has a core cable ( 1 ) of high-strength synthetic fibers and an outer layer of strands.
