Dyform® 8 PI MAX

Description

Dyform® 8 PI MAX is a high-performance rope utilising Dyform® compacted strands and has undergone the MAX-technology double compaction process.

This maximises sheave area contact for enhanced durability and best-in-class multi-layer spooling (MLS) lifetime. Plastic injection (PI) also provides internal cushioning between the internal IWRC and the outer rope strands reducing internal friction and improving rope stability.

Specifically developed to solve the challenges of offshore wind installation vessels.
Now possible to achieve specific rope diameters for demanding crane applications.

Plastic injected (PI) independent wire rope core (IWRC)

Designed to offer an internal cushioning layer between the IWRC and the outer strands for improved dynamic structural stability.

Therefore, reducing the contact stresses during the MAX-technology double compaction process and during multi-layer spooling (MLS).

Advantages of plastic injected ropes

Improved corrosion resistance: The plastic layer prevents water and corrosive substances from penetrating the core of the rope.
Reduced internal friction: The plastic material reduces friction between individual strands and the core, which can significantly reduce wear over time. This leads to smoother rope operation and a longer service life.
Improved stability: Plastic injection ensures the stability of the rope, allowing for better load distribution and reduced bending fatigue. This is particularly beneficial in applications where the rope undergoes frequent bending or flexing.

Dyform® MAX Technology

Double compacted rope via Dyform® strands and MAX-technology rope compaction. Providing ultimate rope to sheave contact as well as reducing potential drum damage.
