Regular Lay Ropes |
|||
In regular lay ropes, the wires in the strands are laid in one direction,
while the strands in the rope are laid in the opposite direction. The result is that the
wire crown runs approximately parallel to the longitudinal axis of the rope. These ropes have good resistance to kinking and twisting and are easy to handle. They are also able to withstand considerable crushing and distortion due to the short length of exposed wires. This type of rope has the widest range of applications. |
