ACERA

Acera™ daGama is constructed with a 12-strand core and a 24 or 32 braided tight and 3-step coating process to ensure an outstanding resistance to particle ingress and internal and external abrasion and preventing the core and the cover to move separately.

Each yarn is individually coated through a rotating 360° Lick-roller process. This cumbersome single yarn coating process demonstrates the uncompromising commitment to the quality standards of Acera™. Single yarn coating is proven to significantly enhance internal and external abrasion resistance and extend service life and strength.

Additionally, the core is coated with an exclusively developed adhesive coating bonding the core and the cover to avoid them to move separately.

Finally, the braided Acera™ cover is coated to increase resistance to particle ingress and external abrasion. Perfect on single drum winching. For multi-drum winching and applications with bits and capstans we recommend other constructions, i.e. the cover-stranded Acera™ Scott, or 12-stranded Acera™ Amundsen.

Key benefits:

  • Resistance to external damage and particle ingress
  • Single yarn coating - high abrasion resistance
  • Ease of handling
  • High construction stability
  • Well-balanced: 6 left and 6 right strands
  • No rotation under load
  • Optional HT polyester cover available

Acera™ daGama is an alternative to the cumbersome steel wire ropes. It is significantly less snap back/recoil - and the corresponding weight is 7 times lower. When replacing conventional fiber ropes the reduction in diameter leads to significant savings of weight, space, and handling - reducing operation time and fuel consumption.

The Acer™ daGama properties of high abrasion resistance, low weight, ultra-high strength and competitive pricing make the ropes attractive in several applications:

  • Mooring - Towing - Lifting - Winching
  • Tankers - cruise ships - tug boats
  • Offshore and seismic vessels, etc.
