Pressing of steel fittings

Pressing steel fittings is the final operation consisting of connecting a steel rope and a steel fitting with various mounting options and shapes. The main advantages of these products are small dimensions and high strength. The fastening of the steel fitting on the rope has a sealing strength factor equal to 90% of the breaking force of the rope. The manufacture of such products requires the use of special devices and high-power presses. The fitting is made of special steel that can withstand the loads applied to it.

Filling couplings (sockets)

In this method of sealing the ends of the rope, the couplings are fixed using a low-melting metal or a special polymer composition (WireLock). Coupling sealing is only possible for ropes up to 90 mm in diameter.This type of sealing has the highest efficiency coefficient, but it is the most time-consuming and expensive. The filling of special couplings (sockets) intended for operation at temperatures up to -50°C involves the use of modern polymer WireLock as the filling material.

The Advantages Of WireLock:

• There is no temperature influence on the strength and fatigue characteristics of the rope and the filling coupling.
• The rope lubricant in the rope twist Assembly remains intact.
• The possibility of shell formation is excluded.

According to ISO/DIS 17558, the operating temperature limit applied to a wire rope with a steel core, the ends of which are filled into the coupling with this alloy, is from -50 °C to +110 °C. WireLock Filling allows you to achieve the maximum allowable utilization rate of the final product. Wirelock is manufactured in accordance with European standards: ISO17558 and EN13411-4. It has certificates of ISO9001, Lloyd.
