When selecting wire rope for industrial use, one of the most important decisions is choosing the right rope construction. Whether you're lifting, pulling, or rigging, the structure of the rope will impact its flexibility, strength, and lifespan.
Among the most commonly used options in the market today are:
6x19 galvanized wire rope
6x36 wire rope
7x7 wire rope
Each offers different advantages depending on your application.
6x19 Galvanized Wire Rope
Ideal for general lifting, cranes, and winches, the 6x19 construction offers a balance between strength and flexibility. It performs well over pulleys and sheaves and is widely used in construction and transport industries.
6x36 Galvanized Wire Rope
Known for high flexibility and fatigue resistance, 6x36 is often used in applications where the rope is continuously wound and unwound, such as in tower cranes, hoisting systems, and elevator winches. It also provides better performance for dynamic lifting operations.
7x7 Wire Rope
This construction is suitable for light-duty control cables, security lines, and small winch systems. It's more rigid than 6x19 or 6x36 but provides a good combination of strength and stiffness for fixed applications.
