for the indicator yarn of the indicator strand the indicator fibers for example carbon fibers can be combined with synthetic fibers for example carbon fibers whose dynamic reverse bending capacity is inferior to that of the other synthetic fibers of the indicator strands or that of the strand without indicator fibers the superior synthetic fibers exist for the application of running suspension means on the basis of co polymers for example copolyterephthalamide the under these conditions inferiorly functioning fibers can be of poly p phenylenterephthalamide the dynamic reverse bending capacity is the reverse bending capacity under changing loads furthermore for the construction of the indicator yarn the indicator fibers for example carbon fibers can be combined with synthetic fibers which relative to the other synthetic fibers of the indicator strand or relative to the synthetic fibers of the strand without indicator yarn have a higher modulus of elasticity for the synthetic fibers that are combined with the indicator yarns in the indicator strands twaron registered trademark fibers for example with a modulus of elasticity of 100 000 to 120 000 n mm 2 can be used the other fibers of the non indicator strands can consist of for example technora registered trademark fibers with 76 000 n mm 2 twaron fibers and technora fibers are manufactured by teijin aramid bv the netherlands the aforementioned measures to monitor the rope service life can also.
