Abstract
A method for manufacturing a tension member, in particular for use in a belt or in a belt segment, having the steps of: preparing a tension member which has a plurality of tension member strands and filling at least some of the intermediate spaces between the tension member strands with a filling material at least at one open end of the tension member, wherein the tension member remains free of the filling material toward the outside.
Claims11
A method for making a tension member, the method comprising the steps of:
- preparing a tension member which has a plurality of tension member strands defining intermediate spaces between the tension member strands;
- and,
- filling at least some of the intermediate spaces with a filling material at least at an open end of the tension member, wherein the tension member remains free of the filling material toward the outside.
A belt or belt segment defining a longitudinal direction, the belt or belt segment comprising:
- at least one tension member which runs essentially in the longitudinal direction;
- said at least one tension member having a plurality of tension member strands;
- said tension member strands defining intermediate spaces between each other and an outside;
- said at least one tension member having an open end;
- a filling material having been filled into at least some of said intermediate spaces from said open end;
- and,
- said tension member being free of said filling material toward said outside.
