Phillystran’s mid-boom pendants for draglines are parallel aramid fiber ropes with a heavy braided polyester jacket covered with a thick urethane outer coating. Our ARA-BOOM products have demonstrated a life expectancy of 10 to 15 times that of wire rope.
- Modulus of Elasticity: 10x106 (69 GPa)psi at 10th cycle(1)
- Termination Strength: 80% of rope Rated Breaking Force
- Rope Creep Rate: 0.16%(2) stretch under constant load

(1) Cycles are 10-40% RBS.
(2) Creep rate based on 5-year continuous load @ 10% RBS. Example: Creep Rate for 80 ft. (24.4 m) assembly for
5 years@10%=1.54" (39 mm).
(3) Phillystran recommends new sockets.
