Frequently asked questions

Here you'll find answers to the most frequently asked questions.

A STRATOS® fiber rope is about 80% lighter than a steel rope.

The ropes are manufactured according to the desired length.

The grouting end termination is only suitable for the covered STRATOS® Winch Pro.

HMPE means high molecular weight polyethylene and UHMWPE means ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene.

The resin must dry for at least 12 hours, ideally at a temperature above 15 degrees Celsius.

The breaking forces of STRATOS® fiber ropes for the forestry sector are all specified in the splice and in kilonewtons (kN). It is therefore not necessary to factor in any loss of breaking force for the splice, as Teufelberger already specifies the breaking forces in the splice for forestry applications.

STRATOS® Winch Light is available with splice, splice and stainless-steel thimble or with the STRATOS® rope puck.

This depends on the working load acting on the rope. The elongation curve of UHMWPE is linear. The higher the working load acting on the rope, the higher the elongation. In principle, however, UHMWPE is a very low-stretch material.

Example:

  • Rope breaking force: 90 kN

  • Working load: 45 kN

  • Elongation: approx. 2.0 %

The elongation at break of UHMWPE is approx. 3.5%.

The melting point of UHMWPE is approx. 140 degrees Celsius.

No, ropes made of UHMWPE are very weather-resistant and insensitive to moisture, grease and oil.
