Bridon® drag ropes provide exceptional extended service life.

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.

Bekaert's Bridon Tiger® Half Lock Guide Ropes deliver high strength along with good resistance to wear and corrosion and reduced stretch.

Bridon Tiger Blue® 8 is a Bridon® brand 8 strand plastic impregnated design.

A well-proven 6x27 langs-lay flattened triangular strand construction provides 2.5 times the contact area of a round strand rope. Designed for increased rope strength, wear resistance and fatigue life, and exceptional resistance to drum crushing. The (3/3) triangular strand center construction provides the best strength/performance combination for drums with a recommended D/d ratio of 80/1.

The Bridon Tiger Dyform® 6R is a high strength 6 strand rope on friction winders with reliable performance.

Bridon® brand compacted 8 strand rope for draglines.

Bridon Tiger® 6R Bristar® is the most common used rope on friction winders with reliable performance, advanced diameter stability and lifetime with a Bristar® core.

A 34x19 construction provides improved flexibility and an approximate natural loop to rope ratio of 45-1. Multi-strand spin resistance and plastic enhancement allow for smooth in-service operation, significantly reduced rope torque and stretch, and less movement in the shaft whenthe rope is at full speed. Full plastic impregnation improves spin-resistance and eliminates internal cross cutting of the strands which is common to other multi-strand products, thereby extending service life and improving security. Galvanised wire and WRI's patented one-step impregnationand jacketing process, which provides a thick protectiveouter layer of plastic, prevents contaminants fromcorroding the rope and eliminates the need for costly in-field lubrication.

DyPac strand enhancement of a 34x7 (LCD) construction provides additional performance, an increase in strength of approximately 15%, reduced sheave and drum wear, and significantly enhanced drum spooling. As a result, operating depths can be extended up to approximately 6000 ft. (1830 m).
