Stainless steel wire rope is made of stainless steel 304 or marine grade stainless steel 316.
6X19 Class General Purpose Wire Rope is very popular due to its resistance to abrasion while maintaining a good degree of flexibility.
8X19 Rotation Resistant wire rope has greater resistance to bending, resistance to drum and sheave crushing than 19X7 rope.
Problems with traditional wire rope
Point-contact ropes meet the drum or sheave at points and wear them heavily.
Round rope with Lang's Lay is very difficult to handle for it easily untwist itself and develop kinks.
A normal wire rope under tensile load has a tendency to rotate along its axis (core) in the direction of un-laying itself.
7x19(WSC)
this construction has greater flexibility while still maintaining a good breaking strain.
Typically supplied from 2 up to 16mm diameter
