Learn Objectives - After reading this article, you should:
Have realized that the simplest elevator rope is obtained by laying six strands.
Understand that the eight-strand rope with a natural fiber core can be considered the most frequently used elevator rope today.
Have learned that depending on the intended application, two different core types are used in elevator ropes: fiber cores made of natural or synthetic fibers and steel-wire cores.
Have realized that the most commonly used suspension rope diameters are 6-24 mm.
Have understood that the development of small rope diameters is being driven by the trend toward machine-room-less (MRL) elevators with small, fast-running drive machines and the move to reduce drive torque levels.
Have realized that a distinction is made between detachable and permanent rope terminiations.
