Pösamo Psamo wire rope 1.5-3 mm, 10 m galvanised steel, plasticised, in coils

Wire rope, galvanized, with a transparent coating. Made from high-quality wire rope with a nominal strength of 1770 N/mm². It features lay-free strands and is stress-free. According to EN 12385-4, lay-free strands and stress-free wire ropes have the following advantages:

1. The strands of the ropes are pre-formed. Cut ropes maintain their position without the need for binding at the cut interface.
2. Since all strands are uniformly stretched, the load is evenly distributed across all individual wires in the rope.
3. The ropes have a low tendency to form kinks.
4. The unloaded wire rope is stress-free, as the wires have no pre-tension. Therefore, the ropes show little tendency to twist under load.
5. The ropes are characterized by exceptional flexibility.
6. Lay-free strands and stress-free ropes have a significantly increased lifespan compared to standard wire ropes.

Note: The recommended maximum load capacity (max. kg) is a calculated value based on the minimum breaking load (MBL) and a safety factor of 6. The height of the chosen safety factor depends on the specific application and the applicable regulations. Example of maximum load capacity (max. kg) for a 3 mm wire rope: max. kg = MBL = 530 kN ~ 90 kg.

Construction: A wire rope consists of a number of strands, which in turn consist of several wires. Additionally, fiber reinforcements are integrated to support the strands, reduce vibrations in the wire rope, and accommodate lubricants. For example: 5 x 7 + 1 -> 5 strands with 7 wires each and 1 fiber reinforcement.

Important Note: The use of wire ropes must only be in accordance with accident prevention regulations and the related EN standards, e.g., 12385 - 4, 13414, and 15020.
