Bekaert Australia’s high performance, cushion core, 6 or 8 strand wire rope. The plastic coated core provides a cushioning effect preventing internal wire breaks, thus reducing the effects of loopy wires. Suited to draglines running high RSL’s and in tough digging conditions.

A spiral strand is a composite of multiple layers of helically twisted steel wires. Layers are spun in opposite directions providing constructional and torque stability. The use of high strength steel wires makes it a good candidate as tension member in static applications. Our proprietary Bekaert blocking compound fills the cable on the inside, reducing the impact of steel-steel contact, and adding an additional barrier against corrosion.
