Cord making

To make cords, two or more filaments are twisted together a number of times in a frame. During the process, a number of the cable’s properties are monitored, such as torsions, straightness etc.
By combining different filament strengths, diameters, the number of twists or preforming, the cable can be fine-tuned to suit the final application.

Situation

Ultra-strong and length-stable material is needed to reinforce synchronous belts which drive wind turbine blades.

Solution

A high-quality steel cord comprised of 83 twisted wires.

Result

Optimum tensile strength, length stability and adhesion with the rubber belt providing the wind turbine manufacturer with a substantially lighter, maintenance-free and space-saving solution.
