Ceramic Fibre Cabled Ropes

High and Low Density

Construction:
Saveguard Cabled Ropes are manufactured from high performance C-Tex ceramic fibre yarns (high Density) or twisted Card Sliver (Low Density), re-inforced with either a wire or glass filament. C-Tex sliver and yarns are produced on traditional textile machinery by carding high purity 1260 grade ceramic fibres with a percentage of cellulose fibre to assist in the processing. The yarns are spun and combined with the relevant re-inforcing media to improve the tensile strength at extended temperatures. The yarn or sliver is first assembled and twisted together to form the required diameter of the individual plies which are then reverse twisted and balanced to produce a cabled rope.

The organic content will burn off at temperatures above 200 oC without affecting the properties of the ceramic fibre however adequate ventilation should be provided during this initial firing. Where tensile strength is important the temperature limitations of the re-inforcing media should be considered.
