Rope Technology

Plastic Impregnation

High-performance plastic impregnation is designed to offer an internal cushioning layer to the inter-strand contact points - especially between core and cover on multi-strand low rotation ropes - improving bend fatigue and core service life.

BriStar®

DYFORM BRISTAR rope construction reduces sheave wear and point to point loading, which combined with the superior dynamic structural stability provided by the Bristar core, ensures exceptional performance.

  1. High performance construction
  2. Greater internal rope protection
  3. Increased rope stability

NXG

Advanced next generation low friction polymer technology incorporating unique additives to further enhance fatigue life of plasticated ropes.

  1. NXG ULTRA Lubricant
  2. NXG Polymer Core
    NXG polycore limits the ingress of seawater and abrasive particles from the outside and aids retention of the rope lubricant in the core.
    NXG low friction polymer technology extends fatigue life performance.
  3. NXG Wire Coatings

Process Technologies

Dyform®


Bridon-Bekaert manufactures ropes using a unique dyforming process that compacts the strands as shown to the right. The smooth surface of the “Dyform” product provides improved rope to sheave contact leading to reduced wear on both rope and sheave. Increased cross-sectional steel area increases breaking load and improves inter-wire contact ensuring that the rope will operate with lower internal stress levels resulting in longer bending fatigue life and lower costs.

MAX

Bekaert manufactures ropes using rotary hammer swaging and a unique roller compaction process that compacts the outer rope surface as shown. In comparison to traditional Dyform ropes the Max technology further improves rope to sheave contact and improved diameter stability leading to reduced wear on both rope and sheave.
Further increased cross-sectional steel area provides a robust construction with high breaking force and excellent crush resistance.


Improved outer contact area ensures optimum spooling performance offering maximum resistance to damage for exceptional service life in the most demanding multi-layer drum.
