Abstract
A longitudinal element produced with a core made of high-strength fibers and at least one metal casing, preferably steel, surrounding this core. In this way, there is the significant advantage that these high-strength fibers, which are very lightweight in relation to their strength, are protected in a number of ways, namely against humidity, moisture, UV light and other environmental influences. In addition, the metal casing provides the fibers with protection against transverse loads. In this way, all the high-strength properties of the traction or suspension means are maintained over a sustained period
Claims22
A longitudinal element, in particular for a traction and/or suspension means, which is produced with a core (12, 26, 27, 33, 34) with high-strength fibres (11, 28, 29, 36, 37) and a casing surrounding this core, characterised in that this longitudinal element (13, 23, 24, 31, 32) is produced at least from this at least one core (12, 26, 27, 33, 34) and the surrounding casing is produced as a metal casing (15, 25, 35, 38, 39), preferably made of steel.
