Abstract
A fiber cable for helicopter rescue winches includes a plurality of load-bearing synthetic-fiber strands braided with one another, at least one electrically conductive insert, and a wear indicator providing a visual check of a state of the fiber cable, where the load-bearing synthetic-fiber strands are encased in a radial direction by a friction-reducing stable fiber layer, an inner cable jacket, and outer cable jacket.
Claims6
A fiber cable for a helicopter rescue winch, the fiber cable comprising:
- an electrically conductive wire;
- a plastic sheath encasing said wire;
- a plurality of load-bearing synthetic-fiber strands braided with one another and encasing said plastic sheath,
- wherein forces acting on the cable are carried exclusively by said plurality of load-bearing synthetic-fiber strands;
- and
- a coating encasing said plurality of load-bearing synthetic-fiber strands.
A fiber cable for a helicopter rescue winch, the fiber cable comprising:
- an electrically conductive, single wire core;
- a plastic sheath encasing said wire core;
- a plurality of load-bearing synthetic-fiber strands braided with one another and encasing said plastic sheath,
- wherein forces acting on the cable are carried exclusively by said plurality of load-bearing synthetic-fiber strands;
- and
- a coating encasing said plurality of load-bearing synthetic-fiber strands.
