Equipment for shock suppression for a rope used on a train for rock impact and snow structures.

摘要

A helically shaped tube (1) is provided, through which the cable (3) is pulled, in order to damp shocks in a wire cable which is stressed in tension. The two tube ends are held together by a compression sleeve (2). In the event of accumulations of fallen stones and snow, a shock load acts on the cable, deforming the tube (1). This produces an extension of the cables. The kinetic energy is progressively reduced by the plastic deformation of the material. …IMAGE…
