CUSHION-PAC® 18 ROTATION RESISTANT ROPES

Table Summary:
Cushion-Pac® 18 ropes improve performance and operational safety

View Cushion-Pac® 18 Table

Cushion-Pac® 18 ropes Information:

• A fully cushioned core, utilizing WRI’s exclusive plastic enhancement process, signifi cantly reduces inter-strand cross cutting throughout the rope’s life and allows for external inspection of operational wear.
• A specially designed 18x19 multi-strand construction, combined with plastic enhancement, locks the core in place to support the outer strands, providing excellent rotation resistance and enhanced in-service stability.
• Dy-Pac strand compaction increases the steel area of the individual strands, producing a rope with improved resistance to crushing, improved drum spooling, and increased lifting capacity.
• A smooth outer strand profi le improves rope wear resistance, reduces sheave and drum wear, and allows the rope to run more effi ciently on high speed hoisting lines.
•  Specially formulated lubrication increases rope performance and reduces the effects of corrosion.
•  Well-marked core tracers make it easy to identify Cushion-Pac 18 outperforming ropes.

DY-PAC® 6 ROPES

Table Summary:

Dy-pac® 6 increases rope performance and reduces equipment maintenance.

View Dy-Pac® 6 Ropes Table

Dy-pac® 6 Ropes  Information:

• A proven 6x25/31 IWRC construction and specially selected wire tensiles create ropes that have the most suitable characteristics for Dy-Pac enhancement and rope performance.
• The Dy-Pac strand compaction process increases the steel area of the individual strands, producing a rope with greater strength and increased lifting capability.
• A greater steel area in the rope results in higher crush resistance and signifi cantly enhanced drum spooling.
• A smooth outer strand profi le improves rope wear resistance and reduces sheave and drum wear.
•  Greater contact area between each strand reduces inter-strand nicking and increases fl exibility under load, enhancing fatigue life and performance.

CUSHION® 6 ROPES

Table Summary:

Cushion® 6 increases rope performance and reduces equipment maintenance.

View Cushion® 6 Ropes Table

Cushion® 6 Ropes Information:

• A well-proven 6x26/36 IWRC rope, specially designed for plastic enhancement, provides an excellent performance/strength combination.

•  WRI’s exclusive plastic enhancement process maximizes impregnation that cushions and separates the rope strands from the steel core. This creates a more balanced rope in which stress is evenly distributed and inter-strand nicking is virtually eliminated resulting in improved performance and better resistance to shock loading.

• Full plastic enhancement signifi cantly reduces stretch and minimizes drum crushing which improves performance and reduces downtime.

•  Full rope cushioning minimizes moisture and contaminant penetration reducing internal abrasion and corrosion.
•  A completely round outer rope profi le maximizes the contact area between the rope and the equipment, enhancing rope wear resistance and signifi cantly reducing sheave and drum wear.
•  Specially formulated lubrication provides protection for individual wires, reducing friction and maintaining freedom of movement between the wires and the plastic.
•  External markings on the rope make it easy to identify Cushion 6 high performance ropes.
