Architectural Ropes
Wire ropes are multifunctional and versatile components that allow technically and esthetically outstanding architectural solutions.
With our enormous range of wire ropes, end terminations and accessories we can offer solutions to almost every architectural challenge. Whether it’s stays, trusses, railing ropes, rope structures, artwork, facade greening – there is a suitable part for every architectural application for steel cables.
Our stainless steel cables are precision manufactured from marine grade stainless steel, which gives them durability and a timeless look. Together with a large variety of end terminations the possible combinations are truly endless.
Wire ropes can absorb tensile forces extremely well, are easy to handle and cost-efficient. They feature in a huge range of architectural applications with steel cables from Jakob Rope Systems being found in projects ranging from cable suspensions and facade greening to balustrade infills.
Stainless steel cables require almost no maintenance and keep their look for a long time. This makes them also ideally suited for decorative uses.
The quality of our wire rope products is matched by our service. We offer advice and support during all stages of your project, from engineering and statics to installation and maintenance of rope and cable structures.
Stranded wires, wire ropes, rods
Our range of stranded wires and wire ropes for architecture comprises stainless steel cables in diameters from 0.62 mm up to 26 mm in different construction methods:
- Single-strand constructions: 1 × 7, 1 × 19, 1 × 37
- Wire ropes with wire core: 6 × 7 + WC, 6 × 19 + WC, 6 × 36 + WC
- Wire ropes with fiber core: 6 × 36 + FC, 8 × 7 + FC
- We manufacture inox rods in diameters from 5.3 to 21.9 diametres with optional external threads and wrench flats.
Our range of stranded wires and wire ropes for architecture comprises stainless steel cables in diameters from 0.62 mm up to 26 mm in different construction methods:
External and internal threads
Our range of stranded wires and wire ropes for architecture comprises stainless steel cables in diameters from 0.62 mm up to 26 mm in different construction methods:
- standard external and internal thread ends, swaged
- Vissline external thread ends
- Univiss Plus external thread ends
End stops and fittings
End stops in different configurations help to attach the wire ropes to posts. With our enormous range of fittings, wire ropes can be attached to almost any supporting structure:
- Radiused head ends
- Clamp rings
- Post fittings
- Eye ends
- Variball system
Turnbuckles, clevis ends and eye ends
Cable and tie rod assemblies should have a tensioning device at least on one end. If this is not possible, we supply a range of turnbuckles that can be inserted between the ends.
Clevis and eye ends can be attached to cable assemblies to attach them to eye brackets or other anchoring.
Our Forte program consists of external threads, turnbuckles and elegantly designed clevises for heavy loads.
Anchoring Systems
We supply different anchors to attach wire rope assemblies to walls, wood, steel posts or other structures.
