Steel Wire Rope - guide to choosing the type and examples of use
The following is an extract from our catalogue. You can read much more about steel wire rope's basic elements, constructions and choosing the right Steel Wire Rope in chapter 12 of our catalogue.
6 x 7 + 1 FC
This construction is made of few and therefore relatively thick threads, whereby great wear resistance and good resistance to corrosive breakdown is achieved.
Use: Trawl fishing, Bardunes, Stag. Where the steel wire rope is used as trawl wire, it can be supplied with different braiding and markings.
6 x 24 Seale + 7 FC, Notwire
De kraftige yderstråde giver denne konstruktion stor slidsyrke.
Anvendelse: Notfiskeri.
6 x 12 + 7 FC
With its 7 fiber cores, this construction is recommended where the requirement for flexibility is greater than the requirement for strength.
Use: Maneuver lines.
Thin steel wire ropes in construction 1 x 19, 6 x 7, 6 x 12 + 7FC, 7 x 19 and 6 x 37
Use: Small winches, hoists, truck cranes, tippers, conveyors etc.
6 x 24 + 7 FC
In ship equipment, this construction is the most used due to its relatively high breaking strength combined with great flexibility and elasticity.
Use: Mooring lines, moving cargo, unloading wire, towing line, straps, cable wire.
6 x 19 Seale + FC or IWRC
Where high demands are placed on durability against wear and rough treatment, this construction with the few and thick threads will be recommended.
Use Trawl wire, Anchor wire, bridles, tow wire.
8 x 19 Seale - elevator steel wire rope
Since elevator steel wire rope is mainlyused as a drive element due to frictionbetween drive sheaves and steel wires, special requirementsare made here for wire material and construction. To reducewear on drive discs, the steel wire is constructed with wire material of 140 kp/mm2 in outerthreads and 180 kp/mm2 innerthreads. This special construction is approved by Danish elevator suppliers.
6 x 36 – Warrington/Seale
Supplied either with a fiber core or with a steel core (IWRC). The special wire rope structure in the ducts gives this construction a high breaking strength, great flexibility and good wear resistance and makes it suitable for running over relatively small disks and drums.
Application: Hoist wire, holding wire, dump wire, mooring wire, hoist wire, hoists, straps.
Randers Compact 6×19 seale and 6×25 seale
The compacted outer wires provide very high wear resistance and the service life can sometimes be significantly higher than standard wires - Available with FC and IWRC.
Use: Trawling and seine fishing.
Super 9 (9×19 SE 1×19 SE)
The many outer ducts and the construction of the ducts themselves give the construction a very good abrasion resistance and high breaking strength. Wire quality galvanized 200 kp/mm2.
Application: Winch wire, salvage winch, tow wire (boats), electric hoists, container hoist wire.
Stainless steel rope in construction 1 x 19 – 7 x 7 – 6 x 12 – 7 x 19 and 6 x 37
Where both good corrosion resistance and good abrasion resistance are required, we would recommend our special stainless steel wire rope.
Application: Yachts, rigging, armature suspension.
Stainless steel rope in construction 1 x 19 – 7 x 7 – 6 x 12 – 7 x 19 and 6 x 37
Where both good corrosion resistance and good abrasion resistance are required, we would recommend our special stainless steel wire rope.
Application: Yachts, rigging, armature suspension.
Typhoon wire rope
Taifunwire is produced both with a fiber core and with a steel core. (IWRC). Galv. Has white branded yarn. Stainless steel wire rope has red marking thread.
Application: Upper and lower counters in trawls, intermediate lines, tow lines.
Aircraft Cable in construction 7 x 7 and 7 x 19
Where the above-mentioned steel wire ropes are to beusedwithin the aircraft industry, such as for guide lines, the requirements for wire quality, manufacturing, lubrication and shaping are much stricter.
6 x 7 galvanized glider wire
A non-priming wire is required for wind-up of gliders and, in addition, greatdemandsareplaced on breakingstrength, wearresistance and flexibility.
Forhudede stålwire med PVC eller Nylon
For dawnings for smaller TV antennas, luminaire suspensions and the like, it willbeexpedient to use lines with PE, PVC or nylon coating for protection against corrosive breakdown. As baling wire (customs wire), we would recommend our special 3.0 mm 6×7 steel wire with PVC sheathing to 7.0 mm.
Cable-wound steel wire rope – in construction 7 x 7 x 7 and 7 x 7 x 19 Seale
In cases where there are special requirements for breaking strength and flexibility, cable-wound steel wire made from wire with a breaking strength of 200 kp/mm2 is recommended. This type of wire rope is alsoused to make braided slings for heavy lifting applications where traditional steel wire rope is lessmanageable due to less flexibility.
