Steel Wire Rope Series

Compared to standard wire ropes, those made from compacted strands offer a higher breaking strength; the compacted strands ensure better contact between the rope and the pulley; furthermore, the large metal surface area of the outer wires makes compacted strands more resistant to wear and corrosion. When steel wire ropes are used on multi-layer winding drums, the smooth surface of compacted strands ensures that adjacent strands do not cause scratches or damage to the rope through mutual friction; this characteristic makes face-contact (compacted strand) steel wire ropes more suitable for multi-layer winding applications.
