Special rope treatments - wire ropes purified, hammered / swaged, greased

Our particular strength lies in the development and production of individual rope solutions in the fine rope range from 0.09 to 8.00 mm. Many years of experience as a traditional rope manufacturer, experienced developers and complete processing from inquiry to delivery at our headquarters unite all competencies under one roof and enable us to find the right solution even for special requirements.

Strands and ropes are manufactured from stainless steel, steel, nitinol, copper or tungsten wires in our rope factory in Germany. If required, we also offer ropes and strands made from special materials.

In order to meet the specific requirements of our customers' projects, we offer wire strands and wire ropes with special treatments. These can be swaged / hammered, purified / cleaned or greased.

Swaged / hammered wire ropes and strands

The compaction or hammering of ropes and strands is a mechanical process that serves to smooth the surface and at the same time reduce the cross-section of the strand or rope. This does not reduce the breaking strength of the rope, but increases its stiffness, which results in less elongation. Compaction makes the dimensions smaller, which makes our fine ropes particularly suitable for use in the tightest installation spaces.
Compacted ropes are used wherever lower elongation and higher rigidity are required. The special processing of the strands gives them the so-called springy effect. This describes how quickly the strand springs back into its original shape. This makes the strand more resistant to external influences and ensures a high level of safety in use.

Greased strands and wire ropes

Greasing steel wire ropes is necessary in environments where the ropes are exposed to frequent bending cycles. This internal lubrication of the wires reduces the friction between the wires and reduces wear. This leads to a longer service life of the rope. During the greasing process, oil is introduced into the rope during stranding. This built-in lubrication thus reaches every single wire of the rope. If steel ropes and strands are lubricated, they are particularly durable and resistant when using pulleys. The ropes remain supple and have a high degree of flexibility.
