<p>A flexible traction member (38) that can be wound and unwound, eg for passenger and/or goods lifts, comprises at least one stranded cable (16) composed of a tensionable material. The core strand (124) of each cable is surrounded by a flexible thermoplastic layer (126). A flexible traction member (38) that can be wound and unwound, eg for passenger and/or goods lifts, comprises at least one stranded cable (16) composed of a tensionable material. The core strand (124) of each cable is surrounded by a flexible thermoplastic layer (126). The stranded cables are embedded in a flexible thermoplastic using a reel (14) for unwinding the cable, an alignment unit (24), a heating element for preheating the cable, at least one extruder, a cooling vat, a reel storage unit, a cutting unit and a reserve reel. The extruder, a wire guide and at least one die can be adjusted individually on a plane that runs at an angle to the cable plane. The unwound cables are degreased and/or pre-treated to improve adhesion of the plastic sheathing, and are pre-heated and sheathed with liquid plastic. Independent claims are included for: (1) a production line for manufacture of the inventive traction member; and (2) a method of production of the inventive traction member.</p> |
