Canada: This fine steel cord sample was given to Mr. John Udd as a reference sample for a publication about hoist technologies used in Canadian mines. Mr. John Udd is a mining engineer, starting his career at the Hardy Mine (owned by Falconbridge Nickel) in Levack, Ont. Recently retired (2009) as the Principal Scientist-Mining with Natural Resources Canada’s Minerals and Metals Sector, Mr. Udd has worked at McGill University Faculty of Mining Engineering, Falconbridge Nickel Mines, and was the Director of the Mining and Research Laboratories of the federal government from 1984 – 1996.
Function: This type of fine steel cord is used with compact elevator systems that have little room for machines above or below the shaft. It allows for the use of smaller traction sheaves and smaller motors.
Technical: This type of fine steel cord is used with compact elevator systems that have little room for machines above or below the shaft, such as in a mine. It allows for the use of smaller traction sheaves and smaller motors without compromising its performance. The steel cords are embedded in a rubber-like substance which allows for low elongation, high breaking loads, and excellent adhesion with matrix material. [1] This is ideal for use in hoisting mine elevators, where space is limited.
