wire rope bracing factory

Seismic bracing products can be categorised in two distinctive types: Rigid Braces and Steel Wire Rope Braces. A single rigid brace can work under tension or compression loading and they are very popular with fire fighting and sprinkler installers. Having said that steel wire ropes offer cost effective solution even though they can only resist tension loads and two braces are required at single restraint point. Where vibration isolation is of a concern rigid bracing can not be used and the only alternative is steel wire ropes. They are quick to install and offer great flexibility. Seismic bracing is most commonly used in protecting suspended MEP services (ducts, pipes, cable trays…) and equipment (fans, AHU, FCU…).

Thank you for the investment of your time and for taking a look at the Seismic Bracing Cable manufactured by Loos & Co., Inc. in Naples, FL. We are confident you will find some very useful information and tools within this website.

Loos & Company has been in the cable manufacturing business since 1958. We specialize in many configurations of miniature aircraft cable, wire rope, and cable fittings. Our various products, depending on type, can be found in everything from commercial and military aircraft flight control cables down to material handling equipment and rigging applications. In all instances, strong cables and secure connections are critical and must follow exacting manufacturing processes; hence, our newest entry into the Building Industry: Seismic Bracing Cable and Cable Assemblies.

As you are undoubtedly aware, quite a bit of confusion exists in the commercial construction industry regarding the correct applications of the Code Referenced Building Standards when it comes to the selection, design, and installation of seismic bracing components that pertain to the non-structural overhead mechanical systems that are used in public buildings. Additionally, the building codes are constantly being changed though updates and improvements.

For over 60 years, Loos & Co., Inc. has pioneered and thrived in the highly critical profession of wire, wire rope, and hardware manufacturing for use in applications where critical outcomes are directly at stake. This valuable experience has taught us “the ropes” about what a difference quality and performance make in your applications. Now, we can help make the difference for you with your pulley and sheave applications, too.

We’re proud to offer a wide variety of military specification and commercial wire rope, aircraft cable, and fittings to compliment your complete sheaves or pulley system. These products are the perfect compliment to the high performance products offered by esheaves.com. Pairing Loos & Co., Inc. tools, hardware, and accessories with the highest quality pulleys and sheaves will repay you with the performance you have come to expect from our products.

I will have to tension the wire up to counter any elastic effects under tension. I can assess how much extension I expect to get under a specific tension but I"m not really sure how much tensioning force I need to set within the wire. Does ayone have any guidance that may prove useful?

Tree support systems, also known as tree bracing or tree cabling systems, are pieces of gear that allow you to keep a tree steady. Sometimes, trees grow in a manner that isn"t good for their surroundings. They may lean towards a structure, or into a walkway. By installing a tree support system, you can help guide the tree you"re worried about in the right direction.

I-SYS turns ideas into reality. The stainless steel cable system implements a wide variety of shapes and functions for modern architecture - both indoors and outdoors. Because hardly any other component is so versatile and universally applicable. Whether filigree railing filling, resilient rope suspension, fall protection, bracing or wind bracing, whether artistic object staging or climbing aid for facade greening - with I-SYS individual, aesthetic solutions are made from stainless steel ropes. Functional and stable, durable and decorative.

I-SYS is a holistic concept for innovative architectural solutions. The combination with connections, connections and guides turns stainless steel cables into universal components. They have to be strong to absorb the active forces and at the same time fit in with the architecture. A balancing act that I-SYS masters with ease. The material allows economical solutions - durable, robust, low-maintenance and easy to maintain. The CARL STAHL ARCHITECTURE suspension cable system comprises over 1,000 individual parts, from the pressed-on external thread to fork and eyelet solutions, for self-assembly on site or rolled on with assembled stainless steel cable systems. In conjunction with an extensive hardware catalog and rope diameter variations from 1 to 26 millimeters, there are almost unlimited application possibilities.

The areas of application of I-SYS are diverse. The stainless steel ropes adorn bridges, squares, railings and facades, delimit uses or mark structures in public spaces.

The I-SYS stainless steel cable system for railings enables individual shapes and solutions for the design of spaces on railings, balustrades or bridges. Formally reduced and filigree in aesthetics, the stainless steel railing ropes are both a securing and a design element. They follow every pitch angle and are provided with tensionable end connections for self-assembly. The I-SYS stainless steel rope constructions serve as fall protection at danger points. The stable ropes and connections made of stainless steel provide support and protect against accidents. In addition, the stainless steel cable assemblies are used as suspension cables, wind bracing or for hanging larger elements such as curtain walls.

As a climbing system for green facades, I-SYS winch and creepers serve as climbing aids and offer them a secure hold. An individually adjusted grid made of stainless steel cables arranged in parallel or in a cross shape ensures controlled growth of the facade greening. The elegant look ensures that the rope facade looks good while the green is still growing. As an optimal climbing aid, I-SYS enables extensive greening in any dimension. Weatherproof, durable and low-maintenance, the rope structure holds the living building envelope for decades. And: the rope facade already looks good when the green is still growing.

I-SYS has a production control externally monitored by KIT, as well as a European Technical Assessment (ETA) for selected products at the German Institute for Building Technology (DIBt). This makes it easier for builders and planners to implement their I-SYS project, because it speeds up approval procedures, reduces costs and offers greater planning and implementation security.

CARL STAHL ARCHITEKTUR offers full service worldwide for the implementation of construction projects with I-SYS architectural ropes made of stainless steel - from advice, planning and structural calculations to manufacture and assembly on-site. I-SYS is an offer for cooperation. The experts from CARL STAHL ARCHITECTURE give you competent advice and plan small and large projects with you, inspire you to find the best solution, calculate the statics of your stainless steel rope construction and offer reliable after-sales service.

nVent CADDY cable bracing is a simple seismic bracing method for mechanical, electrical, plumbing (MEP) and fire sprinkler systems, including CPVC pipe systems. Cable bracing is the only option when brace lengths exceed the brace length limitation of 9"-7" (3 m) for strut or when confined/crowded spaces make rigid systems difficult to install. The system includes steel cables complying with the ASCE® 19 pre-streching requirements, attachment fittings, swaged oval sleeves & related tools, as well as pre-assembled kits.
