Advantages of compacted wire ropes

• Higher flexibility

• Bigger metallic area

• Higher breaking load thus allowing for smaller diameter 15-20%

• Larger surface contact area

• Lower contact pressure

• Increased resistance to abrasion

• Increased resistance to corrosion (due to outer sealing of the strand)

• Increased resistance to mechanical damages / vibrations

• Increased resistance to shock loading and whipping

• Reduction of mechanical stress on both the rope and the sheave, thus extending the life of both the sheave and the winch drum

• Decrease of damages between the neighboring wraps in multilayer spooling – Better winding on drums

• Significant Cost Reduction due to reduced rope abrasion and increased service life with less maintenance expense
