Aramid and LCP ropes

Model Aracom 100, Aracom T, Aracom Miniline, Crystalyne, Vectrus

High-modulus Technora aramid and Vectran LCP ropes: Aracom single and double braids, Crystalyne (Vectran core, polyester sleeve) and Vectrus (100% Vectran, Maxijacket coated).

Description

Yale's aramid and LCP ropes use Technora and Vectran fibres for high strength with low stretch.

Key features

  • Aracom 100: 12-strand, 100% Technora aramid, chosen for ease of handling and reduced yarn-on-yarn friction
  • Aracom T: double braid with Technora core and high-tenacity polyester sleeve; flexible and easily spliced
  • Aracom Miniline: low helix angle Technora core with tightly woven thin polyester over-braid for maximum strength-to-weight
  • Crystalyne: Vectran LCP core and polyester sleeve; LCP tolerates bending and overloading better than other high-modulus fibres
  • Vectrus: single braid of 100% Vectran LCP, always Maxijacket coated for abrasion and UV resistance; also offered as slings

Applications

Demanding marine, oceanographic and industrial uses that need high-modulus fibres with heat, bending or overload tolerance.
