1 Lube-Free. Ultrasonic No Lubricant is used during stranding or closing. The wires
are delubricated already at drawing. During stranding and
closing only lubricant free Emulsion will be used as “laying
help”. These Emulsions show no remainings afterwards.
Max remainings at testing to DIN Standard:
If a fibre core is requested, only man made fibre cores are
used, which are lubricant free, that means the extracted
content is not allowed to be bigger than 3 %.
The finished rope will be drawn through an Ultra-Sonic
Cleaning Bath.
2 No-Lube – Dry Rope Free of Lubricant but wires still show remainings of drawing
Soap materials and laying-help-material. No lubricant is
used during stranding and closing. During stranding and
closing only lubricant free Emulsion will be used as “laying
help”, which will show no big remainings.
Maximum remainings at testing to DIN:
If a fibre core is requested, only man made fibre cores are
used, which are lubricant free, that means the extracted
content is not allowed to be bigger than 3 %.
3 Rope dry A. The Core is dry, that means without lubricant.
A0 The Batch-Content of Fibre Core has to be chosen in
such a way, that the extracted content is not above 7%.
During stranding and closing only the necessary oildrops
to allow the laying are added. Strands, rope and core are
heavily wiped after the die-stand.
B. Steel Core: only strands lubricated. Otherwise as A.
4 Rope outside not Compound-Construction, Spiral ropes, Multi-Layer-Spiral-
lubricated Ropes, and Multiple Operation –Ropes only the Strand-
Inner-Layers are light lubricated. The Steel-Core is also only
light lubricated. (Heavy wiping) Fibre Cores have a
maximum lubricant content of 12 %
5 Light Lubricated Lubricant is heated up, when applied to strands, to the
A1 maximum allowed Temperature Limit, that means it is very
liquid. A lubricant has to be used, which is, because of its
consistency, suitable. The Lubricant is poured between the
wires at the stranding lay point , before the strand is formed.
Each single wire should be slightly covered with lubricant.
Behind the die and again behind the postformer, (calibration
rollers) etc., the strands and rope are wiped heavily (Double
wiping). Only a light film of lubricant should cover the wires.
The core is only light lubricate. A fibre core should have no
visible outside laying lubricant. The lubricant content of the
fibre core shall not be above 12 %.The total content of
lubricant of the rope should be at approximately 0,8 to 1,2 %
Lubricants: e. g. Nyrosten T 55, A 19/200, Cedrakon,
Elaskon High Tech 2000

6 Normal Lubrication Lubricant is heated when applied to normal requested

temperature.
A lubricant has to be used, which is, because of its
consistency, suitable.
The Lubricant is poured between the wires at the stranding
lay point , before the strand is formed. Each single wire
should be slightly covered with lubricant. Behind the die and
again behind the postformer, (calibration rollers) etc., the
strands and rope are wiped slightly. A light film of lubricant
should cover the wires.
The core is only light lubricated. A fibre core should have no
visible outside laying lubricant. The lubricant content of the
fibre core shall not be above 16 %.The total content of
lubricant of the rope should be at approximately 1,0 to 1,5 %
Lubricants: e. g. Nyrosten T 55, A 19/200, Cedrakon,
Elaskon High Tech 2000.
6.1 Normal Lubrication As 6.
A2.1 Lubricant Transparent, yellow, brown, green.
Total amount of Lubricant of rope: 1,0 to 2 %.
6.2 Normal Lubrication As 6.
A2.2 Lubricant black, asphaltic or brown/golden N 113
Total amount of Lubricant of rope: 1,5 to 3 %.
7 Heavy Lubrication Lubricant is heated when applied to normal requested
temperature.
A lubricant has to be used, which is, because of its
consistency, suitable.
The Lubricant is poured between the wires at the stranding
lay point , before the strand is formed. Each single wire
should be slightly covered with lubricant. Behind the die and
again behind the postformer, (calibration rollers) etc., the
strands and rope are not wiped . A heavy film of lubricant
should cover the wires.
The core is heavily lubricated. A fibre core may show visible
on the outside laying lubricant. The lubricant content of the
fibre core shall not be between 16 % and 25 %.
The total content of lubricant of the rope should be at
approximately 1,8 to 3,5 %
Lubricants: e. g.
8 Double Lubrication e. g. as corrosion protection when stored for a longer time.
Before rope testing on fatigue cycling machines (University
of Stuttgart: Hot Steam Cylinder Oil, to compare rope quality
without the influence of different lubricant).
Rope lubricated as per 6 or 7 and the finished rope is
lubricated again. Depending of the application with a thin
light lubricant or a very adhesive type of lubricant.
9 Field Lubrication During Service the ropes should be or must be lubricated,
because the original Lubrication in most of the cases will not
be sufficient for the whole service life. The method and the
type of lubricant used, is depending on the type of
application. The lubricant must be compatible with the
original lubricant.
