Swaged Wire Ropes

 

6 x 19 and 6 x 36 classification swaged rope

These ropes offer greater strength than standard ropes of the same diameter while providing greater resistance to drum crushing, scrubbing and similar surface wear. To enhance the performance of our swaged ropes in the field, we utilize a special wire chemistry in the outer wires of the strands. Then during production, the rope is rotary swaged to produce a compact cross-section with minimum voids and greater surface area on outer wires. In addition to reducing rope surface wear, this compact design helps reduce wear to sheaves and minimizes crushing of the rope on the drum. These ropes are stiffer and less fatigue resistant than standard ropes.

Power-Swage™ logging ropes

If your application requires an even stronger rope, Power-Swage rope's have a 30% higher minimum breaking force. These ropes are designed to resist abrasion and drum crushing in logging applications. The compact design with smoother wire surfaces allows you to spool a greater length of rope onto drums than an unswaged rope of comparable strength.

3 x 19 and 3 x 36 classification swaged wire rope

These 3 strand ropes are ideal for pulling lines in electrical transmission line construction. Rotary swaging the rope results in an exceptionally compact rope cross-section. This increases surface area, which improves rope contact with sheaves and on drums, thereby providing greater resistance to surface wear and abrasion while reducing wear on sheaves. The smooth surface also helps reduce  wear on underground conduits. Lengths may be fitted with flemish-eye ends. Please specify whether eye is to be on inside or outside of the reel, or at both ends.
