Advantages of compacted wire ropes

Higher flexibility
Bigger metallic area
Higher breaking load thus allowing for smaller diameter 15-20%
Larger surface contact area
Lower contact pressure
Increased resistance to abrasion

Increased resistance to corrosion (due to outer sealing of the strand)
Increased resistance to mechanical damages / vibrations
Increased resistance to shock loading and whipping
Reduction of mechanical stress on both the rope and the sheave, thus extending the life of both the sheave and the winch drum
Decrease of damages between the neighboring wraps in multilayer spooling – Better winding on drums
Significant Cost Reduction due to reduced rope abrasion and increased service life with less maintenance expense
