The invention relates to the technological field of bridge structures, in particular to a long-service-life PWS cable with replaceable sleeve and shielding gas. It consists of wire strands, wrapping tape covering the wire strands, and a sheath arranged outside the wire strands, and is characterized in that the sheath is covered with an outer protective sleeve and shielding gas is filled between the wires in the wire strands. The wire strands of the present invention is completely under protection in a shielding gas environment which effectively avoids the corrosion of the wire strands; the protective sleeve outside the sheath of the PWS cable is a replaceable segmented and fragmented sleeve structure, which is convenient to be replaced and installed, substantially prolonging the service life of the PWS cable system with great promotional value achieved.

A cable includes a sheath, and a coating film covering a circumference of the sheath. The coating film adheres to the sheath. The static friction coefficient of a surface of the coating film is smaller than the static friction coefficient of a surface of the sheath. The adhesion strength between the sheath and the coating film is 0.30 MPa or more.

An illustrative example embodiment of an elevator load bearing member includes a unidirectional weave of a plurality of load bearing fibers including at least a first material and a second material. A melting point of the first material is higher than a melting point of the second material. The plurality of load bearing fibers are bonded together by at least some of the second material that is at least partially melted. A coating covers the plurality of load bearing fibers.
