The characteristics of different wire rope cores

The fiber core wire rope is composed of a fiber rope in the middle. It is represented by the FC. Take fiber material as an example:

The rope end of the same wire rope still contains 12.7% to 14.5% grease even if it does not pass through the pulley.

The initial oil content of a steel wire rope can only maintain 40% of its life. If no oil is added, the wire breakage will increase sharply; the second is to replace the galvanized, aluminum and other special steel wire ropes for the harsh operating environment and alternate relative motion.

The galvanized or aluminum-plated surface of these steel wire ropes exposed to the atmosphere will form films of zinc hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide, which can effectively prevent steel wire corrosion.

The steel core wire rope is composed of one strand of wire rope in the middle. It is represented by the IWS or IWR.

Steel core steel wire rope is more wear-resistant, anti-extrusion, and has a higher service life than fiber core steel wire rope. The breaking force is greater, but the hardness is higher.

Because of wear resistance and compression, steel core wire rope is generally suitable for hoisting or winch.

The price of steel core wire rope is relatively higher than that of fiber core wire rope, but the service life and the environment of use are relatively better, so it is very important to choose whether to use steel core wire rope according to the actual use.
