WEAR-RESISTANT LIVESTOCK FEED GRIPPING JAW

摘要

Device for use in an agricultural livestock feed gripping jaw, including a drivable cable and a frame with a guide element, in particular a winding drum or a disc which is rotatable in the frame, around which guide element said cable is passed in such a way that when the cable is driven, the cable is guided over the guide element, wherein the cable comprises a core and a sheath, wherein the core comprises a plurality of first strands of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethene fibres, in particular Dyneema® or an equivalent thereof, and includes a plurality of second strands of fibres of a polyester which are interwoven with the former, wherein the sheath includes a combination of a plurality of interwoven strands, containing 75-100% of third strands of fibres of extended polyamide, in particular Nylon 6,6, and 0-25% of fourth strands of fibres of polyester, and wherein the guide element, at least on the outer side thereof, inlcudes ultrahigh molecular weight polyethene, in particular HMPE 1000. This combination of measures makes a compact and reliable construction possible which is less affected by mechanical and in particular chemical wear when used with livestock feed.
