ost o applications for wire rope are extremely demanding. Wire rope must resist crushing, bending fatigue and abrasion. For example, clamshell closing lines must resist bending fatigue and boom hoists are subject to pressures that cause crushing. Overhead hoists test the stability and strength of a wire rope. All drum-related applications demand a rope that will Flex-X 6 — Class bright spool and operate smoothly and dependably.

Drum scrubbing between the lead line and the previous wrap is reduced. The smooth contact creates less interference, less metal loss and wire deformation.

Smooth Contact
The increased surface area of a Flex-X 6 rope can be seen in the comparison of the contact points of a standard 6 x 26 WS (left) and a Flex-X 6 (right). Contact forces are spread on sheave and drum grooves, wear is reduced and corrugation prevented.
