Braid Optimized for Bending (BOB®)
Dyneema®/Vectran blend rope with low creep and cyclic bend-over-sheave fatigue performance for deepwater lifting and heave-compensated winches.
Description
BOB® is a patented, high-strength, low-elongation braided rope made from a Dyneema® and Vectran blend, available in 12-strand and 12×12 constructions. It was developed for ropes that cycle continuously back and forth over sheaves. The concept was proven in 2006 aboard the first successful full Active Heave Compensated deepwater rope traction winch, which deployed equipment to a depth of 2,700 meters.
Key features
