What types of galvanized steel wire rope structures are there

Galvanized Steel Wire Rope is a rope woven from multiple strands of steel wire and is rust-proof and corrosion-resistant. Depending on different uses and needs, galvanized steel wire ropes can adopt different structural types.

Let’s take a look at the galvanized steel wire rope with 6×7+FC structure. The steel wire rope of this structure is made of 6 strands of steel wires twisted together. Each strand of steel wire rope is composed of 7 steel wires, and a fiber core is added to the outermost layer. The wire rope of this structure is soft and easy to bend, suitable for lifting and towing operations with light loads and medium distances.

Let’s take a look at the galvanized steel wire rope with 6×19+FC structure. The steel wire rope of this structure is made of 6 twisted steel wires. Each wire rope is composed of 19 steel wires, and a fiber core is also added to the outermost layer. Compared with the 6×7+FC structure steel wire rope, the 6×19+FC structure steel wire rope is stronger and has a stronger load-bearing capacity, and is suitable for hoisting and lifting operations with medium to heavy loads.

Another common galvanized steel wire rope structure is 6×37+FC. The steel wire rope of this structure is made of 6 twisted steel wires. Each wire rope is composed of 37 steel wires and also contains a fiber core. Because there are more steel wires making up the rope, the 6×37+FC structure wire rope has higher load-bearing capacity and better wear resistance, and is suitable for hoisting, lifting and traction operations with heavy loads and high strength requirements.
