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

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).

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

WRI Power-Loc® HLC guide and rubbing ropes have five decades of proven track record. A specially designed half-locked coil construction provides excellent rotation resistance, superior wear properties and minimal movement in the shaft when compared to other rope constructions. Locked coil rope guides provide a cost-effective alternative to rigid wood or metal guides by allowing for reduced shaft sizes and structures, improved air displacement on moving conveyances and minimized damage and wear caused by vibration.

A resilient 18x7 IWRC construction and wire tensile ranging from 1770 MPa (115 Long Tons/In2) to 2000 MPa(130 Long Tons/ In2) provide the necessary strength and reliability to operate up to depths of approximately 2000 ft.(610 m). A specialized Line Contact Design (LCD) improves performance and reduces internal cross cutting damage, common to other multi-strand products. By combining outer langs lay strands with inner regular lay strands, the underside of the outer strand wires run in the same direction as the wires of the supporting layer.
