Our Design Engineers have been
Head-Ropes
looking for a winding rope that
concentrated most of the qualities Drum Winding
of a Lock Coil Rope and that of a Friction Winding

rotation. The tension, when applied
to the rope, induces opposite and
balanced torque.
Steel content into the cress section area
is improved through a Warrington Lay
construction (4/4) + 4 strands. Such an
arrangement for the strands in a rope
is an extension of the arrangement of
the wires in the strand. It improves
fatigue and crushing resistance by
avoiding sharp contacts between the
strands as they are parallel to each
other.
The total number of wires in the
rope, 208 for N.R.H.D.7 and 312 for
N.R.H.D.19, gives good flexibility
and allows high tensile wires to be
used.
