The high carbon wire can be either oil tempered or induction hardened. Most of our wires have a consistent hardness of about 38/39 HRC. A higher hardness can be achieved on request. High hardness is essential to tolerate the dynamic forces applied on the auger system. The high fatigue life of the wire results in a long lifetime and a reliable performance.
Bekaert auger wire is a high quality steel wire with a uniform internal structure. The wire accommodates the wrapping of a regular spiral shape without creating waviness.
Bekaert keeps a comprehensive stock of the main diameters of auger wire. Our local warehouses around the globe enable us to provide quick service and delivery to most worldwide destinations.

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.
Situation Skiers count on safety when they go up the mountain
Solution In close cooperation Bekaert developed superior quality wires that meet the technical customer requirements of ropeway constructors
Result The customer handles the production of the cables, but also on-site weaving (or splicing) and installation. The cables have a life expectancy up to 40 years
