HyperTEN

HyperTEN is a stable high strength fiber rope featuring extremely low stretch. It consists of UHMWPE fibers and can be fabricated either with a PES cover or a UHMWPE cover, depending on the application.

An optimized rope design combined with thermal stretching guarantees a perfect utilization of the available fiber characteristics as well as a closed rope structure that is extremely compact and stable.

Supreme breaking forces exceeding those of a steel wire rope with corresponding abrasion resistance usually permit a one to one substitution at the same diameter (incl. protective cover!) without the need for converting or adapting the periphery - at only 1/7 of the weight.

Of course, HyperTEN will be specifically adapted to your application. Customized rope end terminations such as

• Splice with or without plastic, steel, stainless steel or tubular thimble
• End bond,
• Stitching,
• Swaging,
• Tapered end, and
• [Slaice]^®

are the perfect link between the rope and your attachment point.

The benefits of HyperTEN are:

• 1/7 of the weight of comparable steel wire ropes
• Extremely high breaking force - higher than that of most steel wire ropes of the same diameter available in the market
• No corrosion and/or soiling caused by rope grease
• No danger of injury, easy and quick handling
• Flexible design
• Supreme abrasion resistance due to a smooth surface, especially when provided with a cover
• Very high bending fatigue strength and extremely long service life
• The kinetic energy released on rope damage is considerably lower than in case of steel wire ropes.
• Very low initial and working stretch (already eliminated during production)
