Cushion Pac 18 Wire Rope
18x7 Compacted Non-Rotating, IWRC EIPS - Cushion Pac 18
WRC18
A wire rope featuring a “fully cushioned core”, Cushion Pac 18 offers:
- A core that utilizes WRI’s exclusive plastic enhancement process, significantly reducing inter-strand cross cutting throughout the life of the rope. This also allows for external inspection of operational wear
- A specially designed 18x19 multi-strand construction which, combined with plastic enhancement, locks the core in place and better supports the in-service stability
- DyPac strand compaction that increases the steel area of the individual strands which provides better resistance to crushing, improved drum spooling, and increased lifting capacity
- A smooth outer strand profile that improves rope wear resistance, reduces sheave and drum wear, and allows the rope to run more efficiently on high speed hoisting lines
- Greater rope contact area that increases rope life while reducing drum and sheave wear
- Reduced overall operating costs as a result of significantly increased performance and minimized downtime
- Fewer operational safety concerns as a result of lower torque and improved external inspection capability
- Lower equipment maintenance costs stemming from reduced sheave and drum wear
