Wire ropes (referred to as ropes herein) have a From three to nine strands are used to make a
complicated structure combining many wires. It is rope. Apart from some special cases, practically all

such as pretension processing for (1) above and

■ Construction
The construction of the rope differs depending
on the number of strands, the number and position
of the wires in the strand and whether it is of a
fibre core, or rope core. However, an explanation 3 strands 6 strands
of the construction of a general type rope shall be
given here.
As shown in Fig. 1, the rope is made through
stranding several to several tens of wires and
closing the strands normally six strands around a
core in a prescribed pitch.

eral tens of wires with similar, or differing, diame- Point Contact Lay
ters in single or multi-layers.
In the method where the wires are positioned to
form more than two layers, there is the cross lay
where the wires of each layer are in the same lay
angle, and the parallel lay where one process is
used to lay the wires so that the wires of each layer
will be of the same pitch.
For strands of the same diameter, the more the
number of wires, the smaller will be the diameter Fig.4●Crosssectionalviewexampleofstrandinthe
crosslayrope
of each wire and the greater will be the flexibility of
the strand. However, conversely, the rope will
become inferior in its wear resistance nature and
its shape deformation nature.
(1)Cross Lay
The cross lay is referred to as the point contact
lay, as each wire is in contact with each other. The 6×19 6×24
laying of the wires are carried out in such a way
that the lay angle will be almost equal for each
layer of wire of the same diameter. The length of
the wires in each layer will also be the same and
the wires of each layer will be in contact with each
other.
Therefore, the tension stress which works on the 6×37 6×61
wire will become uniform, but the bending stress
due to the contact points will be added and so the
fatigue resistance will not be as great.
Moreover, the 6×7, 6×19 and 6×24 belong to
this lay method.
In the positioning of the wires, there is the
method where the number of wires around a single
core are increased in units of six each, or progres-
sively from 6 to 12 to 18 to 24 and the method
where three wires are stranded and made into a core
and around this the number of wires increased by
six each for each layer, or 9 to 15. Normally, the
former positioning is over whelmingly the most,
while the latter is seen only for the 6×24 strand
(a＋9＋15) where the three wire core is replaced
with a fibre core.
10
(2)Parallel Lay Fig.6●Crosssectionalviewexampleofstrandin

parallellayrope
Parallel lay is also referred to as equal lay. It is
also called one operation lay from the number of
stranding processes and also as linear contact lay
as each wire is in contact with each other.
Moreover, at this company, the parallel lay rope
has the product name of Super Rope.
In the parallel lay, the wires of each layer are
Seale type Warrington type
positioned in such a way that there will be no 6×S(19) 6×W(19)
space between them and so that the upper layer
wires will fit neatly into the groove of the lower
wires of the strand.
For this, wires of dif fering diameters are
positioned at the same time so that each wire layer
will have the same pitch and will be in contact with
each other. Filler type Warrington Seale type
Therefore, dif fering from the cross lay rope, 6×Fi(25) 6×WS(36)
although the lay angle of each wire layer and the
length of the wires are not uniform, as each wire is
in contact with each other, it is superior in its ●Basic types

The number of wires of each layer is shown as
1+n+n and the number of wires of the inner and
Linear Contact Lay outer layers is the same.
The wires of the outer layer fit completely into
the grooves of the inner layer wires. The outer
layer wires of this Seale type rope is thicker when
compared to other parallel lays and so it is
superior, particular in its wear resistance and is
mainly used for elevators.
(b)Warrington type
1＋n＋(n＋n) and there are two kinds of wires for
the outer layers, one being large and the other
small. The number of wires of the outer layer is
double that of the inner layer and through a
combination of the inner and outer layers the
spaces between the wires is kept small.
This Warrington type rope is not being used to
any great degree, recently.
(c)Filler type (with filler wire)
1＋n＋(n)＋2n and the number of wires of the

outer layers is double that of the inner layer. Fig.7●Cross sectional view example of strand in a
flattyperope
The inner wires and the same number of thin
filler wires are used to fill the spaces in the inner
and outer layers.

the flexibility, fatigue r esistance and wear
resistance and has the widest range of use among

(d)Warrington Seale type 6×F [(3×2＋3)＋7]
This is a combination between the Warrington
type and the Seale type and is extremely superior
in its fatigue resistance nature. It also abounds in
flexibility and is superior in its wear resistance
nature and so has a wide range of uses.
Shell strand type

(3)Flat Type Mono-Rope
The strands are combined in such a way that the 4×F(30)
outer circumference of the rope will be flat in
shape. This rope has a smooth surface and so the
surface pressure due to coming into contact with
the groove of the drum and the sheave is smaller
than that of ordinary ropes. It is also superior in
its wear resistance nature. In general, the triangular
strand and the shell strand are used the most. The
flat strand is also being used at certain places.
(a)Triangular strand type
Up to now, an outer layer wire was positioned
around the triangular wires but, recently, a single
layer or two layers of wires are stranded around a
triangular core made of round wires to form a
round wire triangular core strand.
(b)Shell strand type
The cross sectional view of this type is in the
shape of a shell and this rope is usually in three
strands, or four strands.
Also, apart from the fatigue resistance nature, it
also has a non-twisting nature. The Mono-Rope of
this company which is being widely used belongs
to this type.

■ Rope Core
The rope core can be classified into the fibre This core rope is positioned in one process with

7×7 construction is used but depending on the
use a 6×7 or a 6×19 may be used.
(c)For the CFRC (center fit wire rope core), the
outer layer strand of the core rope is fitted into the
groove of the inside of the side strand of the rope.

■ Type of lay
(1)Direction of lay Fig.9●Typeoflay
As concerns the direction of laying the rope and
the strand, there is the Z lay and the S lay, as
shown in Fig. 9.
In the case otherwise specified, the rope shall be
made of the Z lay and the strand products of the S
lay.
(2)Laying of rope
In laying of rope, there is the ordinary lay and
the Lang’s lay.
(a)Ordinary lay (or regular lay)
The lay of the rope and the lay of the strands are
in opposite directions.
(b)Lang’s lay
The lay of the rope and the lay of the strands are
in the same direction.
(c)Comparison of the characteristics by laying

■ Designation and Symbol

The rope is referred to in terms of construction,
laying of rope, lay direction of lay, whether naked
or galvanized, the kind of rope grease, diameter,
grade, breaking force, length and reels. Expressing
these in words and numbers would make the
designations too lengthy and complex and so this
company is using the following symbols.

Kind of core Number of strands × Lay symbol of the strand Number of wires per strand
(See Table 4) (See Table 5) (See Remarks)
Moreover, in the case there is a product symbol,

the symbol is placed at the front (for example, this
is T in the case of Tough-Rope).

In the case the construction of the core strand differs
from that of the strand for the rope itself, a symbol is
used for expressing this construction (see example 3).
Strand core Usually not used In the case the construction is the same, in place of
showing IWSC, this is shown as “the number of
strands of the rope itself +1” in the “number of

1 Cross Lay Rope
The cross lay rope construction has the longest
histor y and, until the 1930s, when this company
was established (and the domestic manufacture of
rope was started) and the parallel lay rope, or the
socalled seale type was developed, only the cross
lay rope was used. With the appearance of the
parallel lay rope, the cross lay rope gradually was
replaced with the parallel lay rope. However, as
the cross lay ropes had some merits which the
parallel lay rope did not, such as the ease of han-
dling, it is still continuing to be used, at present.

As the surface of the strand is smooth, the wear
due to the ropes coming into contact with each
other, such as rubbing with the drum, with the
sheave, or the roller, is small.

Wire Rope Standard
(d)Shape crumbling is law

As the strands are finely stranded the surface is
smooth. Therefore, the rope winds smoothly
around the drum, and the roller, and there is practi-
cally no crumbling of the shape.
(e)Drum, sheave, roller damage is low
As the surface of the rope is smooth, it winds
smoothly around the drum, the sheave and the
roller and the wear and tear of the rope is kept
down to a minimum.
(Note)
1. The flexibility is somewhat low compared to
general super ropes of the same construction
but this does not hamper its ease of handling.
2. It can be used easily (by attaching and adjusting
the ends) the same as the hitherto super ropes.

pany are as follows. (1)Hercules Rope
Two layers of round strands are stranded.
(2)Nuflex Rope
Three or more layers of round strands are
stranded and thus the breaking force is higher
than that of the Hercules rope.
As a rope with a high breaking force, there is the
Tough Super Nuflex Rope, the Tough Nuflex Rope
in which heterogenous wire strands are stranded.
●Long-Super-Rope
Through adjusting the lay pitch of the rope core
super rope strand and the rope, the rotating torque
of the rope has been lessened.
Therefore, this rope is used for medium height
hoisting cranes.
This rope has the same breaking force as the
super rope.
●Rota-Less Rope
Rota-Less Rope is the fittest for Rough-Terrain
Cranes. The core of this rope is consisted of the
independest strand which lay direction is opposite
to the lay direction of the rope.
Therefore the torque of the Rota-Less Rope is
smaller than that of same construction rope with
IWRC.
The fatigue Resistance and flexibility of the Rota-
Less Rope are almost equal to the same con-
struction rope with IWRC.

years cannot be avoided for Hercules ropes and
flat type ropes, even though grease may be applied.
However, the heterogenous wires of the locked
coil rope are closely matched for the locked coil
rope and grease is fully applied at the time of
manufacture and so rain water and moisture is
prevented from entering and there is no fear of
internal rusting.

Compared to other ropes with the same diameter,
its breaking force is much greater.

(b)Non-torsion rope slings
To prevent the rope slings from turning around
when lifting a load, two ropes are used between the
processed part, as shown in Fig. 2.
Apart from the two similar type ropes, there is
also the S lay and the Z lay ropes which have been
made into one.
(c)Eared rope slings (Utility model 503804).
This is shaped as shown in Fig. 3.
(d)Endless rope slings
As shown in Fig. 4, both ends of the ropes
overlap each other and processed with TOYO-LOK.
Moreover, the fibre core rope is generally used
as the standard item for the various kinds of rope
slings, mentioned above. However, rope core
(IWRC) ropes and common core (IWSC) ropes can
also be made.
Alloy tubes with an inclined end can also be
made so that the rope slings can be removed easily
after the unloading work is completed.
Your orders are awaited.

3 Socket Processing
There are various methods for processing the
ends of the rope but for ropes that have important
uses and those that are used for a long period, at a
cer tain place, there is the socket processing
method which is the most safe and accurate.
In this method, a melted alloy is poured into the
rope end socket and the rope and the socket made
one.
This company with its many years of experience
and high technologies is receiving wide trust for
its processing method of using melted metals, a
method that has become firmly established.
● At the time of ordering, please specify the

following.
(1)The workplace (in the case of local work)
(2)Time of work (in the case of local work)
(3)Purpose of using the rope
(4)Kind of rope required (construction, diameter,
kind, whether coating required or not)
(5)Shape of socket, dimensions
If there is no specification, the TSK socket (see
