5/8" 6x37 Wire Rope Cable | Galvanized

Made of strong Extra Improved Plowed grade steel (EIPS), this galvanized wire rope belongs to the 6x37 class, which is known for flexibility. Along with the 6x19 class, 6x37 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 6x37 configuration offers higher flexibilty and better fatigue-resistance (it can bend repeatedly without breaking) than the 6x19; however, it is less abrasion-resistant.

6x37 Wire Rope Configuration

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 6x37. 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 27-49.

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.

Hot Dip Drawn Galvanized Finish

Along with the superior corrosion-resistance compared to a bright wire rope, a hot dip drawn galvanized wire rope offers several other benefits that make it worth the investment.

The most important of these benefits is the strength - the standard galvanization process can weaken the rope by up to 10% of the break strength. The drawn galvanization process does not, so you'll get the same strength as a comparable bright wire rope!

Drawn galvanized also enhances ductility - allowing it to perform better in critical applications - and corrosion-resistance - it won't flake or crack like an electro-galvanized wire might.
