ARACOM T
filament breakage in processing and helps us
manage fiber tensions in the factory as we
ply up a strand. Aracom T maintains a high
degree of flexibility, and is easily spliced.
The polyester sleeve is thicker than its sister
product Miniline which gives it better
protection in high abrasion applications.
The entire strength of Aracom T is derived
from the core and the sleeve's purpose is to
protect the core from abrasion.

* Knots and abrupt bends significantly reduce the strength of all ropes and lowers the maximum working load.
** Working load is based on static or moderately dynamic lifting/pulling operations. Instant changes in load
up or down in excess of 10% of the rope'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.
Aracom T is a double braid consisting of a
Technora Aramid core with a sleeve of high
tenacity polyester. Yale's exclusive Aralube
process infuses the Technora with molten
lubricant prior to entering our twisting
equipment. Lab and field experience has
shown that this added, internal permanent
lubrication (non-soluble) treatment leads to
an extended wear life (as much as four times).

The colored area under the curve
represents the rope's ability to do
"work" and is expressed in foot-
pounds per pound of rope in tension.
■ Green working 157 ft. lbs./lb.
■ Red ultimate 4,409 ft. lbs./lb.
Dielectric Strength: Due to
its moisture gain, high-dielectric
applications are not
recommended for Aracom T
and Aracom Miniline ropes.
