Product Advantage
(Key words: high-strength steel wire rope, high-load steel wire rope, wire rope breaking tension)
Made of high-quality high-carbon steel or alloy steel, the tensile strength of high-strength steel wire rope reaches 1770MPa - 2160MPa. Special models such as aviation-grade steel wire rope can even exceed 3000MPa. For example, the breaking tension of a 18mm diameter steel wire rope exceeds 20 tons, perfectly suitable for heavy-duty cranes, port lifting, and other demanding working conditions. The multi-layer composite twisting structure ensures uniform force distribution, with a safety factor of up to 5:1 - 7:1, significantly reducing the risk of breakage.
(Key words: Wear-resistant steel wire rope, Anti-fatigue steel wire rope, Steel wire rope cyclic test)
By optimizing the heat treatment process and applying galvanizing/plastic coating technology, the wear resistance of the wear-resistant steel wire rope has been enhanced by over 40%. After 500,000 bending fatigue tests, the 6×36 structure steel wire rope remained intact, making it particularly suitable for high-strength scenarios such as mine hoisting and elevator traction. The anti-fatigue steel wire rope performs exceptionally well under dynamic loads, with a service life that is 30%-50% longer than that of ordinary products.
The galvanized steel wire rope passes the 500-hour salt spray test without rusting, while the 316 stainless steel wire rope can be used in seawater and acidic/alkaline environments for long-term use. The PVC/PE plastic-coated steel wire rope further isolates corrosive media, suitable for marine engineering, chemical equipment and other scenarios, with a lifespan increase of 2-3 times.
Adopting independent steel core (IWRC) or fiber core (FC) design, the minimum bending radius of flexible steel wire rope is only 6 times the rope diameter, ensuring flexible operation. The steel wire rope used for elevators has passed 2 million bending tests and runs smoothly without breakage. Strictly following ISO 2408 and EN 12385 standards, the safety factor is higher than industry requirements.

Product Applications
Steel wire ropes are essential load-bearing components widely used across industries due to their superior strength, durability, and flexibility. Below are key application areas:
Cranes & Hoists: Used in tower cranes, mobile cranes, and overhead cranes for heavy load lifting (e.g., construction, shipbuilding).
Elevators & Escalators: High-flexibility ropes ensure smooth operation in passenger/freight elevators.
Winches & Pulleys: Offshore/platform winches, mining hoists, and material handling systems.
Shaft Hoisting: High-tensile ropes for vertical/lateral transport of minerals and personnel.
Draglines & Excavators: Abrasion-resistant ropes for open-pit mining.
Scaffolding & Safety Nets: Galvanized ropes for fall protection and temporary support.
Aerial Tramways: Passenger/goods transport in mountainous or urban areas.
Tow Cables: Recovery and towing in automotive/aviation industries.
Conveyor Systems: Heat-resistant ropes for steel mills/cement plants.
Agricultural Equipment: Hay balers, tractors, and irrigation systems.
Aerospace: Lightweight, high-strength cables for aircraft controls.
Oil & Gas: Wireline logging and deep-well drilling.
Check for kinks, broken wires, corrosion, or deformation. Ensure the rope diameter matches equipment requirements. Lubricate if dry. Discard if damage exceeds 10% of outer wires.
Use appropriate fittings (sockets, clips, or thimbles) and follow manufacturer’s torque specs. Avoid sharp bends—maintain a minimum bend radius of 6× rope diameter.
Before full operation, conduct a 10-20% overload test to verify integrity. Gradually increase load to avoid shock stress.
Clean and lubricate every 3-6 months (or per usage intensity). Store coiled and dry to prevent corrosion. Replace if wear exceeds safety standards.
FAQ
Steel wire rope is a flexible rope made by twisting multiple high-strength steel wires, which has the characteristics of high strength, wear resistance, and impact resistance. It is widely used in lifting, elevators, ships, mines, construction and other fields.
1. Steel wire: Made of high carbon steel or alloy steel, the surface can be galvanized, aluminum plated, and other rust resistant materials.
2. Rope strand: Multiple steel wires twisted into one strand (commonly 3 strands, 4 strands, 6 strands, 8 strands).
3. Rope core: located in the center, divided into fiber core (natural or synthetic fiber, used for lubrication and support), metal core (steel wire or steel strand, high temperature resistance, higher load-bearing capacity)
1. Load requirement: Select a steel wire rope with sufficient breaking force (usually with a safety factor of 5-6) based on the working load (WLL).
2. Usage environment:
Wet/corrosive environment → Galvanized steel wire rope.
High temperature environment → Steel core wire rope.
Frequent bending → Same direction twisting of steel wire rope.
Matching equipment: Ensure compatibility with pulleys, drums, hooks, etc. (such as diameter matching).
1. Avoid sudden braking and impact loads, and lift at a constant speed.
2. Use a protective sheath or pad to protect the steel wire rope from contact with sharp objects.
Regularly inspect for broken wires, deformation, and rust.
1. Number of broken wires: Within 6 times the diameter length, if the number of broken wires exceeds 10%, they need to be replaced.
2. Wear and tear: If the diameter decreases by more than 7%, it will be scrapped.
3. Deformation: such as flattening, twisting, cage like distortion.
4. Corrosion: Severe corrosion affects strength.
