Made of strong Extra Improved Plowed grade steel (EIPS), this bright wire rope belongs to the 6x19 class, which is known for flexibility and abrasion-resistance. Along with the 6x37 class, 6x19 wire rope is the perfect general use steel cable and can be used for many applications, including as hoisting rope, suspension cables, winch lines, and more.
The 6x19 configuration offers better abrasion-resistance than the 6x37; however, it is less flexible and fatigue-resistant.
Our wire rope is made using EIPS-grade cable. EIPS (Extra Improved Plow Steel) refers to the strength of the wire rope - its tensile strength is around 10% greater than an IPS grade, improving the break strength.
The class of this wire rope is 6x19. These numbers nominally refer to the construction of the wire rope - the number of outer strands around the core and an estimation of the number of wires within each of these outer strands. So for a 6x19 class, the number of outer strands is 6, and the number of wires making up each strand ranges from 15-26.
This product has a bright steel finish, which means it's uncoated except for an A-1 petroleum-based lubricant. This lubricant offers basic corrosion- and water-resistance and reduces friction to protect the rope. The lubricant is applied to both internal and external wires for more in-depth protection.
The independent wire rope core (IWRC) provides more support than a fiber core - it's more resistant to crushing and is better suited for high temperature applications. Their general temperature range is between -40°F / -40°C and 400°F / 204°C.
