It provides smooth operation at temperatures of -15 C to +60 C and can be used for elevators with rated speeds of no greater than 700 ft/min 3.56 m/sec.* Support brackets, U-bolts, S-hooks and heavy duty couplings specifically designed for Steadi-Flex cable must be used to ensure safe installations. Shallow pit installation hardware (JCC-XX-CHN) is recommended for use with Steadi-Flex. See page 79 for details on this hardware. Drakas EP ShallowSwayless dampening device is recommended for use with Steadi-Flex to minimize cable sway for car speeds above 350 ft/min (1.8 m/sec). See pages 83 for information on this device. Refer to the JCC-XX-CHN sections of the Compensating Cable Installation Guide for exact instructions on installation procedures. Draka EP can suggest which size of Steadi-Flex cable to use. Call 1-877-372-5237 or +1-252-984-5100 and have the following information ready: 1) number of hoist ropes per car 2) outer diameter of the hoist ropes 3) stranding of the hoist ropes (i.e. 8 x19, 8x25...) 4) car roping (i.e. 1:1, 2:1, other...) 5) number of Steadi-Flex cables per car 6) length of Steadi-Flex cable needed If replacing existing compensation, have ready the chain link size or cable brand name and outer diameter. *based on the most current code at the time of printing: ASME A17.1 2004, Rule 2.21.4.2 Compensating Rope Tie-Down Component Specifications Chain Low carbon, electrically welded proof coil chain. Each link is proof tested at two times the working load limit. Filler Metallic bead/polyvinyl chloride mixture adds mass and forms a round cross-section. Jacket 60 C flame-retardant polyvinyl chloride that resists oxidation, weathering, solvents, chemicals and flame.
