A product comprising a plurality of interlaced yarns wherein at least a first yarn having a tensile strength, having a value TS in N/tex, said first yarn containing a plurality of UHMWPE fibers having a titer, having a value T in den, wherein the ratio T/TS is at least 5 den.tex/N. The tensile strength is obtained by adjusting the drawing ratio or the UHMWPE filaments/fibers accordingly. The product shows resistance to abrasion. The product can be a rope or round slings, comprising a sheath/jacket comprising said first yarn.

Methods and systems for ropes used to catch livestock such as a cattle roping lariat. In one embodiment, the lariat includes a set of strands, each strand including a set of yarns surrounding a central core. The set of strands are twisted to form a twisted rope. The lariat is manufactured using a set of components including a head box, a tree-cross box with a branched strand tree device and a cross device, and a tail box.

A wire cable construct including a plurality of strands each made of a plurality of wire filaments, the strands and wire filaments arranged in a 377 configuration of 37 strands of 7 wire filaments each, with the strands arranged in four layers including a first, central layer of a single strand, a second layer of six strands, a third layer of twelve strands and a fourth, outermost layer of eighteen strands. The cable may have a small diameter for use in medical device applications, and the strand and wire element configuration allows the cable to carry high axial loads, minimizes bending stress when the cable is routed around a tight turn such as a small pulley, and minimizes torsion in the cable due to axial loading.

A pneumatic vehicle tire having a carcass with textile carcass strength elements, a belt arranged radially outside the carcass, and a belt bandage ply of a belt bandage arranged radially outside the belt, wherein the belt bandage ply has textile cords as strength elements, which are arranged substantially parallel to one another and are embedded in elastomeric material, wherein the cords each have precisely two yarns, wherein the two yarns are yarns of polyamide 6.6 (PA 6.6), which have the same linear density and are end-twisted together to form the cord.

A multi-strand cord (50) comprises an internal layer (CI) made up of K=1 internal strand (TI) having two layers (C1, C3), with the internal layer (C1) being made up of Q internal metallic threads (F1) and the external layer (C3) being made up of N external metallic threads (F3), and an external layer (CE) made up of L>1 external strands (TE) having two layers (C1, C3) wound around the internal layer (CI), with the internal layer (C1) being made up of Q internal metallic threads (F1) and the external layer (C3) being made up of N external metallic threads (F3). The cord (50) has an energy-to-break per unit area ES145 N.Math.mm.sup.1 with $ES={.Math.}_{i=1}^{Nc}{F}_{mi}{.Math.}_{i=1}^{Nc}{A}_{ti}/\mathrm{Nc}\mathrm{Cfrag}/D$
where ${.Math.}_{i=1}^{Nc}{F}_{mi}$
is the sum of the forces at break, ${.Math.}_{i=1}^{Nc}{A}_{ti}$
is the sum of the total elongation, Cfrag is the coefficient of weakening, and D is the diameter.

A multi-strand cord (50) comprises an internal layer (CI) of the cord made up of K=1 two-layer (C1, C3) internal strand (TI), with the internal layer (C1) being made up of Q internal metallic threads (F1), and the external layer (C3) being made up of N external metallic threads (F3), and an external layer (CE) of the cord made up of L>1 two-layer (C1, C3) external strands (TE) wound around the internal layer (CI) of the cord, with the internal layer (C1) being made up of Q internal metallic threads (F1), and the external layer (C3) being made up of N external metallic threads (F3). The cord (50) has an endurance criterion SL40 000 MPa.Math.mm with $SL=\max \left(\frac{{}_{\mathrm{bending\_CI}}}{\mathrm{Cp}};\frac{{}_{\mathrm{bending\_CE}}}{C_r\mathrm{Cp}}\right)$
and a size criterion Ec0.46 with Ec=Sc/Se.

A power transmission belt has a cord embedded in a belt body made of rubber. The cord is configured as a plied yarn with a total fiber fineness of 4000 to 5000 dtex. The plied yarn consists of four primarily-twisted yarns, each being obtained by subjecting a bundle of para-aramid fibers with a fiber fineness of 1000 to 1250 dtex to a primary twist in one direction at a twist coefficient of 1200 to 1350, and these four primarily-twisted yarns are then secondarily twisted in the opposite direction to the primary twist at a twist coefficient of 900 to 1100, thereby obtaining the plied yarn.
