Wire Rope and Cable

Wire Rope


6 x 19 (often referred to as 6X25) and 6 x 37 class wire rope capacities are shown in the chart below.
  6 x 19 rope has six strands with 16 to 26 wires per strand while 6 x 37 rope has six strands with 27 to 41 wires per strand.  Ropes having a greater number of individual wires (6 x 37) provide more flexibility and fatigue resistance while ropes with fewer wires (6 x 19) provide greater abrasion resistance, less flexibility, and more "stiffness".  Both types are equal in strength with independent wire rope core (IWRC) ropes having greater strength than fiber core ropes, and less flexibility.  For specific replacement rope recommendations please call.

Specialty Wire ropes (compacted or swaged, rotation resistance, plastic impregnated, 7-strand, 8-strand, flattened strand) offering higher strength, greater resistance to drum crushing, or longer service life, are also available.

Please call to discuss your requirements.

Galvanized and Stainless Steel Cable


Galvanized and stainless steel cables are available in four constructions. 
1 x 7, 1 x 19, 7 x 7, 7 x 19.  The first number indicates number of strands, second number is number of wires in each strand.  Fewer wires provide less flexibility more abrasion resistance.  More strands and more wires per strand provides greater flexibility with decreased abrasion resistance.  Stainless steel is type 304.  Other types of stainless are available.  Please call for information.

Vinyl or Nylon Coated Cable


Coated galvanized or stainless steel cables are available with either vinyl or nylon coatings.
  Nylon is a more abrasion resistant coating, harder and more durable than vinyl.  Translucent or opaque colors are available.  7 X 7 construction is stiffer, while 7 X 19 construction has more individual wires and is more flexible.  Consult chart to determine standard sizes and coatings  Stainless steel is type 304.  Other diameters and constructions are also available along with other thermoplastic coatings and types of stainless steel.  Please call for information.
