Stainless Steel Wire Rope

316 Stainless Steel Wire Rope

Have a look at our range of stainless steel wire rope in a range of constructions below. It is tough, durable and corrosion resistant and made from A4 / AISI 316 stainless steel. Our stainless wire is polished and offers a striking finish.

Our 1×19 steel wire rope is very stiff and best used for balustrading and architectural rigging.

Our 7×7 strand SWR is a general use steel wire rope with medium flexibility, for a range of applications.

Our 7×19 strand stainless steel wire rope is very flexible, making is ideal for load running applications such as hoists and winches.

All our steel wire rope is available to buy per metre in any length, which will be sent in one continuous length.

The structure of a wire rope consists of two parts – Strand and Cable where these are related because Cables are built of Strands around a Core. If the core is a single wire, then the Wire Rope is designated S+IWRC (Steel Independent Wire Rope Core).  If the core is a multifiber strand, then the Wire Rope is designated  WSC (Wire Strand Core). If the core is  non-metal, then the Wire Rope is designated FC (Fibre Core).

Constructions are groupings of strands:

• 1×19 which indicates a collection of 19 individual fibres grouped together then – twisted together to form a single strand In a 1×19 construction, 12 outer wires are laid around a 1×7 centre. This construction is a high flexibility strand and even more flexible than the 1×7 and can still be used in push/pull applications.

 

• 7×7 indicates a collection of 49 individual wires which are grouped as 7 strands of 1×7 wires each – twisted together to form a single strand. In a 7×7 cable, six 1×7 strands are wrapped around a 1×7 centre. This construction is one of the most commonly used in the construction industry. 7×7 cable is known for its flexibility and high cycle life. This is a medium flexibility wire and is considered ‘general purpose’ and offers an economical approach.

 

• 7×19 is a collection of 133 individual wires which are grouped as 7 strands of 1×19 wires each – twisted together. In a 7×19 cable, six 1×19 strands are wrapped around a 1×19 centre (core). 7×19 is the most flexible construction you can have in cable. Like the 7×7, it has a high cycle life but a lower breaking strength. It is mainly used on cranes and winches where the highest flexibility is required and the maximum stretch co-efficient can be accommodated.

Generally, the more wires twisted to make a strand, the more flexible is the overall wire rope because it deforms/bends without damage.
