(10) Flex-X 35, a Category 1 rotation-resistant rope, features a unique design that minimizes the torque and rotation of the rope at normal load ranges of zero to 20% of the rope's minimum breaking force (MBF). In addition, Flex-X 35 is engineered to give you maximum strength per diameter while also achieving superior fatigue resistance. These factors combine to give you the maximum service life when you have long block falls or load control is critical. Unlike other rotation-resistant ropes, swivels can be used in your system with Flex-X 35.
Flex-X 35 wire rope has one of the highest strength to diameter ratios on the market. ASME B30.5 Mobile and Locomotive Cranes requires a design factor of 3.5 for 6-strand hoist ropes. The same ...
