Locked Coil Strand Cables

Locked coil strand cables locked coil strand cables fig 4 are helical shape strands composed of two types of twisted wires.

Locked coil strand cables.

The best customizable rope for structural applications. This interlocking outer layer creates a dense rope assembly with high strength stiffness and an aesthetically pleasing smooth outer surface. Full locked coil strands have a high metallic cross section this guarantees a higher breaking load and elastic axial stiffness with a smaller reduced diameter. Pick up adjustable locking cables that can protect construction equipment from theft and unauthorized use and keep trailers generators power tools and ladders securely locked.

In addition when it comes to the corrosion protection bridon bekaert offers various schemes to meet the lifetime and maintenance targets you have in mind. En 12385 10 full locked coil strand strands are made of shaped high strength wires which are coated with galvanized or galfan then helically spun around a core. Commonly used in stadium roof ring cable and radial cable construction and available for both galfan coated spiral strand cables and galfan coated locked coil cables up to 180mm diameter. Full locked coil ropes are a unique assembly of a classic wire rope core consisting of multiple helically twisted wires with on top of that on the outside one or more layers of profiled z shaped wires that interlock with each other.

The former cable stayed bridges of modern times employed fully locked coil strands. These strands are made from the assembling of wires with different shapes. Eventually one or more layers of wedge shaped wires. The outer layers are arranged the same way using helicoidally z or s shaped wires.

Full locked coil strands. On a tied arch bridge vertical or crossed hanger assemblies offer a visually astonishing load transfer path from the deck to the arch. Trust grainger to offer a variety of heavy duty cables and cable locks that can help prevent theft and vandalism in the shop on the jobsite or in the parking lot. They can be fully customized to suit every client s need and requirement including layers of z shaped wires.

And a number of outer layers formed by z shaped wires arranged helically figure 21 1d. A core helical strand. Redaelli s locked coil ropes are reknown for their strength rotation resistance and reduced stretch. The outer z shaped layers give the rope a smoother profile which allows for better clamping.

The maximum diameter of fully locked coil cables available in the market is of the order of 180 mm. Cables are pre stressed and measured under load to give a high accuracy dead length and to ensure the correct resistance in your structure once installed.
