Basic 6

Product catalog summary

Overview
Jakob® Rope Systems integrates tradition with innovation in their architectural ropes, maintaining high Swiss quality standards and ease of assembly. This enhances safety and cost-effectiveness, with continuous system refinement fostering new ideas and solutions globally.

Specifications
The document details components of the Basic 6 system, including wire ropes, rods, threads, end stops, clevis and eye ends, loops, carriers, anchoring systems, rope clamps, and assembly aids. Each component is referenced with specific page numbers.

Wire Rope Design and Manufacture
Wire ropes are made from high-strength cold-drawn wires, helically wound around a core to form strands, which are then twisted around a steel core. Key characteristics include fill factor, metallic cross-section, nominal strength, calculated and minimum breaking strengths, and spinning loss factor.

Performance Characteristics
Wire ropes absorb tensile forces, offering a favorable tensile force to weight ratio. The tension/elongation curve is non-linear, with elasticity modulus values varying based on wire and strand count, twisted length, and application duration. Thermal elongation is treated similarly to steel, with permissible temperatures ranging from -40°C to +100°C, briefly up to +250°C.

End Connectors and Load Considerations
Jakob® rope end connectors typically achieve at least 90% of the rope's minimum breaking strength. Permissible loads must be assessed individually, and configurations should be planned and installed by qualified personnel, considering local regulations and environmental factors. Effective load, safety factor, and minimum breaking load must be calculated to ensure safety.

Tensioning Options
Cable assemblies should include a tensioning device at least at one end. If not feasible, a turnbuckle can be inserted in the middle of the cable. Options include a turnbuckle body with internal threads, swaged external thread ends, and static end connectors. Adjustments can be made to either relax or increase tension.

Locking End Connectors
End connectors must be secured to prevent unintentional loosening using methods like lock fluid, lock nuts, locking nuts with tensioning nuts, and plain holes.

Assembly Lengths
Determining assembly length requires understanding the design of end connectors, considering the far end, shoulder, center of the hole, center of the ball, and inside surface of the loop.

Material Selection
The ambient atmosphere influences material choice, distinguishing between rural, urban, industrial, and maritime climates. Most components are made from AISI 316 material group.

Table of Major Alloys
The document provides a table listing major alloys, detailing their composition in terms of carbon, chromium, molybdenum, nickel, and other elements, along with their standards.

Wire Ropes and Rods Specifications
Specifications for wire ropes and rods include minimum breaking strength, construction, and weight. Various sizes and their corresponding properties are listed.

Inox Rods
Inox rods are made from the same material as wire ropes and have a polished surface. They can be terminated with swaged end connectors or rolled external threads. The length of the threaded section is customizable.

Technical Changes
All technical data is subject to change, and special lengths or specifications can be requested.

Procedures
During the swaging process, the dimension is enlarged by 6 to 12%. The initial position for tensioning involves screwing the external threads halfway, with a minimum insertion depth of 1.5 times the thread diameter. Adjustments can be made to either relax or increase tension.

Standards and Recommendations
The document emphasizes adhering to specified dimensions and insertion depths to ensure proper function. Technical data is subject to change.

Key Data from Tables
Tables provide comprehensive data on dimensions and specifications for various components, including part numbers, thread sizes, and dimensions.

Critical Information
Attention is drawn to the minimal screw insertion depth and the need to account for the length when determining assembly length. Certain components are not suitable for specific wire types.

Material Specifications
The document discusses components made from AISI 316, a type of stainless steel known for its corrosion resistance and strength.

Product Descriptions and Dimensions
Detailed specifications for products like the VARIBALL Mk III are provided, including dimensions for different thread sizes and corresponding measurements.

Assembly and Installation Instructions
Instructions emphasize the need for precise drilling and the use of specific tools like bench drills with depth stops. Wire rope ends must be free from lubricants and properly degreased before assembly.

Technical Procedures
Detailed procedures for drilling and shaping holes for VARIBALL end stops are outlined, including pre-drilling and finishing steps.

Compatibility and Usage Recommendations
Compatibility between different components is specified, with guidelines for the correct use of stranded wires and ropes.

Technical Data and Changes
Technical data is subject to change, and users are advised to verify the latest specifications and assembly instructions on the manufacturer's website.

Assembly Instructions and Specifications
Detailed assembly instructions for Jakob rope products are provided, emphasizing the importance of selecting the correct assembly method and rope diameter to ensure functionality.

Rope Coupling Functions
The rope coupling serves two main functions: connecting two cables and acting as an end connector through a threaded lateral hole.

Material and Dimensions
Components are made from AISI 316 material. Detailed tables list various parts such as sleeves, screws, and couplings, along with their dimensions and specifications.

Technical Data and Modifications
All technical data is subject to change, and the document reserves the right to make technical modifications.

Assembly Aids and Components
Various assembly aids and components are listed, each with specific dimensions and threading details.

Safety and Best Practices
For U clips, the distance between clips should be at least 1.5 times but no more than 3 times the dimension 'k'. Safety features like eye slip hooks with safety latches are included.

Conclusion
This technical document is a comprehensive guide for assembling and utilizing Jakob rope products, ensuring proper selection and installation to maintain functionality and safety.
