Method for manufacturing a closed-loop cable by splicing, corresponding cable and usage thereof

摘要

A method for manufacturing a closed-loop cable (1), said cable comprising a core (2) and metal strands (3) wound in a helix about the core (2), wherein the two ends of the cable are connected in splice areas in which splice knots are formed using the ends of each of the strands (3), which are then inserted into the cable after having locally removed the core (2) therefrom, each splice area then being overmoulded with a polymer. The invention also concerns a method for manufacturing a closed-loop cable (1) wherein the ends of the strands (2) are lined by overmoulding them with a polymer, prior to inserting same into the cable (1). It finally concerns a corresponding closed-loop cable (1) and the use thereof as a pure traction cable or as a hauling traction cable.
