The Bridon Tiger® 18M balance rope is engineered for underground mining shaft balance rope applications, using a two-layer construction over a Wire Strand Core (WSC) to deliver the specific performance characteristics balance ropes require.<\/p>\n
What a balance rope does:<\/strong> In deep shaft mining, a balance (or tail) rope hangs beneath the mine cage or skip to help balance the weight of the main winding rope as it pays in and out — without a balance rope, the changing weight of the main rope over a deep shaft would create load imbalances that affect winder performance and safety.<\/p>\n Rotation resistance:<\/strong> The two-layer construction is rotation-resistant, meaning the opposing lay of the layers helps counteract rope rotation under load — important for a rope hanging freely beneath a moving conveyance in a shaft.<\/p>\n PI (plastic impregnated) option:<\/strong> This rope can be supplied plastic-impregnated (PI), where polymer is worked into the rope’s internal structure during manufacture to improve corrosion resistance — a valuable option in shaft environments with high humidity or water ingress.<\/p>\n Typical applications:<\/strong> Underground mine shaft balance\/tail rope duty on deep shaft winding installations.<\/p>\n Manufacturing and quality:<\/strong> Manufactured by Bridon-Bekaert with full mill certification and test documentation supplied with every reel.<\/p>\n Sling Force supplies the Bridon Tiger® mining rope range.
