Objective
Knowledge on whether the use of Aramid ropes in shaft winding technology is possible.
High-strength synthetic materials such as Aramid are nowadays used in a number of industrial fields. Aramid exhibits an extremely high breaking strength of > 3,000N/mm{2} an elongation at fracture of 2%, and is extremely light. Up to the present, Aramid is used for protective clothing, in military technology, in aircraft engineering, in space flight engineering, etc. Aramid is used as reinforcement core for electromechanical cables, for anchor cables, or for holding ropes for meteorological balloons. In mining, Aramid is used already for reinforcing conveyor belting.
Farther-going use, i.e. for ropes made of high-strength fibres is strived for at present in mining. In that context the question of a reliable assessment and thus safe use of such ropes is still to be settled. A solution of this question is urgently necessary, above all, with respect to extremely deep shafts.
In case of great depths, the large weight of steel winding ropes relative to the payload means considerable restriction to the winding performance. In this field the use of Aramid ropes whose own weight at identical capacity is of only a quarter of the weight of a steel rope would mean considerable economic advantages.
In the study envisaged it is to be found out whether ropes made from this high-strength synthetic matter might be used in winding technology in mining.
Since the material still is fairly expensive it is to be found out first whether a comprehensive investigation with consideration of the safety regulations to be drafted for the use in mining is likely to yield encouraging results.
