A method is provided for manufacturing a multistrand cable having a 1×N structure and including a single layer of N strands wound in a helix. Each strand includes an internal layer of M internal threads and an external layer of P external threads. The method includes a step of individually assembling each of the N strands, during which, in chronological order, the M internal threads are wound, the P external threads are wound, and the M internal threads and the P external threads are elongated such that a structural elongation associated with the P external threads of each strand is greater than or equal to 0.05%. The method further includes a step of collectively assembling the N strands, during which the N strands are wound to form the cable.

The invention relates to a rope (1) made of textile fibre material, which is characterized by the combination of features whereby

a) the load-bearing fibre material of the rope (1) consists of high-strength synthetic fibres

b) the rope (1) is in the form of a spiral strand rope

c) the rope (1) has at least two, preferably at least three concentric load-bearing strand layers (3,4,5)

d) the individual strands (7,8,9,10,11,12) of the strand layers (3,4,5) are movable with respect to one another

e) the degree of filling of the rope (1) with textile fibre material is ≧75%, preferably ≧85%

f) the outermost ply (5,6) of the rope has a coefficient of frictionμ with respect to steel of μ<0.15.

The invention relates to a rope made of a textile fibre material for applications in which a diagonal pull may occur, characterized in that the rope is a core/sheath rope the core (1) of which and the sheath of which are composed essentially of a textile fibre material the core (1) of which is stranded and which exhibits a force-fitting winding with a tensile element (2, 2′, 2″) between the core (1) and the sheath.

The invention concerns the field of marine ropes, and more specifically a marine rope (1) comprising a plurality of cores (2; 2a, 2b), an individual coating (3) around each core (2; 2a, 2b), and a permeable protective sheath (4) around the plurality of cores (2; 2a, 2b). Each core (2; 2a, 2b) comprises a fiber strand or braid and each individual coating (3) is watertight and has a melting temperature lower than that of the corresponding core and an elongation at break greater than that of the corresponding core.

The invention concerns a hoisting cable formed of a steel core coated at its periphery with a textile sheath, wherein said textile sheath is a sheath directly braided on the steel core and made of an abrasion-resistant synthetic material.

The invention relates to a laid cable (1-1b), in particular a laid fiber cable (1-1b) or a laid hybrid cable, comprising at least one core strand or a laid core cable (2-2b) and at least one outer strand (7-7b) surrounding the core strand or the core cable (2-2b), the core strand, the core cable (2-2b) and/or the at least one outer strand is composed of at least one fiber line (9-9b, 10-10b). The at least one fiber line (9-9b, 10-10b) is beneficially made of a composite material having reinforcing fibers (12), the reinforcing fibers (12) of which composite material are laid to form at least one reinforcing line (11). Advantageously, a laid cable which is stable under transverse pressure is provided. The invention also relates to a strand, to a method for manufacturing a cable and a strand, to an apparatus for producing a cable and/or a strand, as well as an apparatus with a drum drive, said apparatus comprising a cable according to the invention.

A stranding machine is provided for producing a cord from a plurality of wires, preferably metal wires. The stranding machine has a stranding device for stranding the wires, including at least one rotatably mounted deflecting roller for deflecting the cord and at least one guide device for guiding the cord. The guide device is arranged in such a way that the cord can be guided on a straight line from the guide device to the deflecting roller in such a way that the cord is pressed against a first flank of the deflecting roller. As the cord is deflected by the deflecting roller, the cord moves from the first flank into the roller base of the deflecting roller.

A method for producing a rope, wherein fiber bundles are applied with a liquefied matrix material upstream of and/or at a twisting point to form fiber strands, and are embedded into the liquefied matrix material during stranding, by which fiber strands a fiber core of the rope is formed and wires or wire strands are wound about the fiber core. The matrix material of the fiber strands is hardened after the stranding, and the fiber strands are subsequently stranded directly with one another without further application to form the fiber core. Preferably the fiber strands are heated, during or after the stranding thereof to form the fiber core, so that the matrix material softens at least individual of the fiber strands, preferably all the fiber strands, softens and connects with the matrix material of another of the fiber strands, and is subsequently hardened, forming an integral bond with one another.

A method is provided for manufacturing a multistrand cable having a 1N structure and including a single layer of N strands wound in a helix. Each strand includes an internal layer of M internal threads and an external layer of P external threads. The method includes a step of individually assembling each of the N strands, during which, in chronological order, the M internal threads are wound, the P external threads are wound, and the M internal threads and the P external threads are elongated such that a structural elongation associated with the P external threads of each strand is greater than or equal to 0.05%. The method further includes a step of collectively assembling the N strands, during which the N strands are wound to form the cable.

A hybrid strand includes a core and outer wires arranged around the core, wherein at least a part of the outer wires is compressed, wherein the compressed outer wires include a flattened cross-sectional shape, the outer wires are composed of steel, and the core is a fiber core. A corresponding production method produces such a hybrid strand.
