These must be able to with stand repeated bending diameter ratios, dictate the rope to be used to optimise performance.
These must offer resistance to abrasion and plastic deformation, in addition to the stresses affecting shovel rope performance. They are invariably a compromise between those offering resistance to abrasion and those which can withstand bending fatigue.
