Steel wire rope comes in various specifications, with the following being common:
6x19fc:
This is a steel wire rope composed of 6 strands, with 19 wires per strand. 'fc' indicates a fiber core.
6x37fc:
Composed of 6 strands, with 37 wires per strand, also using a fiber core.
6x61:
Also a 6-strand structure, but each strand contains 61 wires. The core material may vary depending on the specific specification.
1x7:
A single-strand structure with 7 wires per strand, typically used for thinner wire ropes or in specific applications.
1x19:
A single strand with 19 wires per strand, offering high flexibility and strength.
1x37:
A single-strand structure with 37 wires per strand, suitable for applications requiring even higher strength and flexibility.
6x7fc and 6x7iws:
Both are 6-strand structures with 7 wires per strand, but the core material or structure differs. 'fc' indicates a fiber core, and 'iws' may indicate an independent wire rope core or other special core structure.
18x7, 19x7, 34x7, 35x7:
These specifications indicate that the wire rope is composed of multiple strands, with 7 wires per strand. The preceding number indicates the number of strands, suitable for applications requiring different strengths and diameters.
18x19s and 18x19w:
Both are 18-strand structures with 19 wires per strand, but 's' and 'w' may indicate different twisting methods or surface finishes.
24W*7 and 35W*7:
The 'W' in these specifications may indicate a special wire arrangement or structure, with 7 wires per strand. The preceding number indicates the number of strands or a specific parameter.
