Use: For connection of lifting and handling systems and similar machinery that use guide pulleys, under high mechanical load, in dry and damp rooms, outdoors and in areas with high risk of explosion. The cables are above all suitable for activity that includes a frequent winding and unwinding and/or at places, where the cablesare continuously deflected over rollers (cable tenders). The cables have to be connected free of any torsion. Tensile stresses that occur at cable ends during operation have to be properly released and brought together into tensile elements inside the cable. Stationary pulleys bearing two windings of the cable have proved as well suited to this purpose. During cable laying and also inside the cable guiding system after the cable had been laid, formation of S shaped windings should be prevented if at all possible.
