11mm Heat Set STS-HSR Rope

Features

• Higher Breaking Strength at same Diameter (Up to 28% more breaking strength at equal diameters)
• Same breaking strength at smaller diameter and less weight
• Low Constructional Elongation
• Longer Service Life due to closed rope structure, even with a cover
• Stable Rope Cross-Section

The STS Technology

• The rope made of HMPE (high modulus polyethylene) fibers is heat-treated,under tension, at temperatures greater than 100 deg C / 212 deg F.
• At a microscopic level, this process causes the molecular chains to be oriented such that they are linear, thus ensuring greater load bearing capacity.
• The STS process under exposure to heat increases the rope's breaking strength by achieving a uniform distribution of the HMPE fiber lengths throughout the rope's longitudinal profile.

• Higher breaking strength at same diameter
• Same breaking strength at smaller diameter and less weight
• Low constructional elongation
• Longer service life due to closed rope structure, even without cover

Advantages Of The STS Technology

TEUFELBERGER STS ropes are constructed using a precisely controlled process which utilizes the ideal balance of temperature and tensioning thanks to:

• Uniform tension
• Uniform heating
• Minimized rotation of the rope during the process
• Uniform fiber lengths

• Molecular chains are oriented in the direction of the force
• Improved degree of utilization of the fibers contained in the rope
• Higher breaking strength
• Stable rope cross-section
• Closed rope structure
