WIRE ROPE
The rope construction 6 x 19 Seale – SFC(pp) are an essential functional element of the speed limitation process and the safety gear.
Since the transmission of energy usually proceeds via friction, the lubrication of the governor rope needs to be dosed exactly. Following the introduction of safety gear also effective in ascent rides, governor ropes with greater breaking strength became more necessary and this was achieved by a wider rope diameter, by a higher rope grade and a full-steel rope design.
The rope construction 6 x 19 Seale – NFC(sisal) and 6 x 25 Filler – SFC(pp) can be used as elevator main hoist ropes on some old elevators.
