Anti-Twisting Braided Galvanized Steel Pilot Wire Rope Cable Pulling Rope

Anti-Twisting Braided Galvanized Steel Pilot Wire Rope (Cable Pulling Rope) is a high-strength, corrosion-resistant steel wire rope designed specifically to prevent twisting or rotation under tension, making it ideal for pilot wire and pulling rope applications in overhead transmission line construction and underground cable laying.

Key Features:

• Construction: Made from an even number of braided strands (commonly 8, 12, or 18 strands) twisted together with equal numbers of right-hand and left-hand lay strands. This balanced lay design ensures high stability and prevents radial rotation or twisting during pulling operations, enhancing safety and control.

• Material: Composed of high-strength steel wires that are hot-dip galvanized to provide excellent corrosion and rust resistance, suitable for outdoor and harsh environments.

• Cross Sections: Available in hexagonal and square cross sections, with the 12-strand braided steel wire rope with hexagonal cross section being the most commonly used.

• Load Capacity and Sizes:

  • Rope diameters typically range from about 9 mm to over 30 mm.

  • Breaking loads range from approximately 50 kN to over 600 kN depending on diameter and strand count.

  • For example, a 28 mm diameter rope can have a breaking load around 462–580 kN.

  • Strand diameters vary accordingly, commonly between 2.0 mm and 6.0 mm.

• Packaging: Delivered on steel reels (bobbins) of various flange diameters (e.g., 850 mm to 1600 mm) to facilitate transportation, loading, and unloading. Reels can be customized with cross plates on request.

• 

Applications:

• Used extensively as pilot wire ropes or pulling ropes in the construction and stringing of overhead transmission lines.

• Suitable for laying underground transmission cables.

• Also employed in lifting equipment, mining, ports, and crane operations where non-rotating wire ropes are necessary.
