Yalex
Data
Working load is based on static or moderately dynamic lifting/pulling operations. Instantaneous changes in load, up or down, in excess of 10% of line’s rated working load constitutes hazardous shock load and would void normal working-load recommendation. Consult Yale Cordage for guidelines for working loads and safe use of rope. Yalex is made to Yale Cordage Specification YCI-YX-002.
Yalex is a single-braid, 12-strand rope constructed of Performance Fiber’s type 1W81 high-tenacity polyester. (This is the same polyester we use in our flagship Double Esterlon product.) Yalex always is finished with a Maxijacket coating to optimize the abrasion life of the rope. The strongest of all Yale’s polyester ropes, Yalex also is extremely easy to splice. Yalex’s two-end-per-carrier construction creates a larger void in the middle of the rope, making used rope splicing easier, or production splicing for sling making faster.
Specific Gravity: 1.38
Dielectric Strength
The maximum allowable leakage for new dry Yalex is 1.0 milliamperes at 60 K DC volts when tested in accordance with Yale Cordage Test Method DTP-185. Caution: Absorbed
and entrained moisture or impurities will increase a rope’s conductivity dramatically.
Elastic Elongation
The colored area under the curve represents the rope’s energy-absorption capability.
