Rope Attachments

FLSmidth offers the Rope Attachments you need in your Underground Mining operations

Rope Attachments
Fine Adjustment Hydraulic Linkage
 
Fine Adjustment Linkage is primarily used in friction hoisting setups. The linkage allows fine adjustment so all ropes in a muti-rope arrangement are equally tensioned and therefore working together which in turn greatly extends rope life.


Sockets

Sockets are used on a variety of applications including Hoist, Balance, Guide and Sinking Ropes.
 
The Socket attachment offers a safe, economical connection and can be installed with either the quick and efficient Wirelock Resin or Zinc.
 
With special Threaded STT and STJ Type Sockets, a wide range of Jaw or Tang ends can be made to suit most required connections without a Link Plate.
 
Our standard SJ (non-threaded) Sockets normally require an Adapter Link Plate, adding both cost and bulk but are preferred in some installations.
 
All Sockets are designed with a minimum of 10:1 Factor of Safety, Proof Load Tested to 2 ½ times Safe Working Load, Ultrasonically and Wet Magnetic Particle Inspected. All meet or exceed National Coal Board Standards.
 
Sockets are customer designed to suit customer needs.
