Stranded Wire Rope w/ Intertwined Plastic Profiles

PERFORMA Fatzer wire ropes are the ideal solutions on installations with a high number of operating hours per day and anywhere where vibrations and noise impair the traveling comfort and well-being of the passengers and local inhabitants.
The PERFORMA Fatzer wire ropes are the ideal solution on installations with a high number of operating hours per day and anywhere where vibrations and noise impair the travelling comfort and well-being of the passengers and local inhabitants.  PERFORMA ropes are therefore predestined for use in urban passenger transport systems.

The PERFORMA technology has been developed with the goal of eliminating strand-induced vibrations as far as is possible in traction and haulage operations of high-speed ropeway systems.  The solution was found by the consistent approximation of the rope cross-section to a circle.  This was made possible by a process that we have optimised over many years, which allows us to intertwine plastic profiles between the strands - around a core from round polyethylene rod.  The profiles fill out the surrounding circular area almost completely and separate the strands spatially from one another and stabilize them in their position.  Thanks to the smooth surface structure, the wire rope runs over sheaves and bullwheels free of vibration and without noise.  The strongly-reduced setting behaviour, the correspondingly low permanent elongation as well as the minimal wear of sheave and bullwheel liners are also impressive.  In short:  A practically maintenance-free rope.  Due to the non-contacting strands, a considerably longer service life by delayed fatigue is achieved.  Therefore the investment in PERFORMA ropes more than pays off over the long run.
