Python Power 9S

Characteristics:
PYTHON POWER 9S is swage compacted to enhance the abrasion characteristic and to reduce sheave- and drum wear. Type POWER 9S in combination with EEIPS (2160 N/mm) wire tensile grades increases rope strength to up to 50% over regular strength 6-strand types. POWES 9S is constructed from a total of up to 358 single wires compared to 265 single wires in traditional 6x36 wire rope. This results in a super strong yet super flexible rope. Although POWER 9S is our most successful high strength rope construction, there are precautions we must address before you select this rope. One is that the direction of lay which must corresond to drum grooving; the other is that large fleet angles may cause high strands or core protrusion because the rope will roll rahter than glide into the sheave groove. Any introduction of torque into (any) wire rope will cause structural damages.

Fields of application:
Super high strength yet super flexible overhead crane wire rope. Used as original equipment rope and for crane capacity upgrades. Also used as high strength engineered assembly cable for tension applications.
