For use in lifting and rigging, securement, and general purpose, the 6x19 wire rope class comprises either a wire rope core or a fiber core. The wire rope core is its own wire rope construction, most commonly 7x7. This is known as IWRC (Interdependent Wire Rope Core), meaning it moves independent to the outer strands. It’s mostly used in winch-type applications. Within the fiber core wire rope, the fiber core is made of natural or synthetic fiber, which can provide excellent flexibility and resistance to contact pressure, and can store lubrication to reduce the friction between wire strands effectively.

The bright class of industrial wire rope is produced without a surface treatment—making the rope less likely to untwist or kink while giving it a stronger crush resistance than lay ropes. Generally, they are fully lubricated to protect the rope from rust and corrosion.

Galvanized wire rope (steel) features a compressed zinc coating for providing excellent corrosion resistance. With higher break strength, yet lower price than stainless steel wire rope, galvanized steel wire rope is widely used in general engineering applications such as winches and security ropes.

The 6x19 wire rope class is made up of six strands of between 16 and 26 wires per strand for additional wire rope strength and durability, with a maximum breaking strength of 69 tons. The 6x19 features IPS (Improved Plowed Steel), EIPS (Extra Improved Plowed Steel), or EEIPS (Extra Extra Improved Plowed Steel) grade wire rope. Also available in USA-made.

Fortune Rope has wire rope in stock and available for immediate delivery in 6x19 Class (wire rope having 15 through 26 wires per strand), and 6x37 Class (wire rope having 27 through 46 wires per strand); both classes are available in fiber core and IWRC (Independent Wire Rope Core) types. The 6x19 Class of wire rope ranges in diameters from 1/4" to 1-1/4", with a breaking strength (tensile strength) from 2.74 to 69.4 tons. The 6x37 Class of wire rope ranges in diameters from 1/4" to 1 and 1/4", with a breaking strength (tensile strength) from 2.74 to 69.4 tons.

6 x 36 CLASS BRIGHT WIRE ROPE WITH STEEL CORE IWRC *(EIPS) - 6 x 36 wire rope with steel core is a more flexible wire rope than 6 x 19 wire rope since it has a higher number of wires per strand. Some of the most common uses are winch lines, choker and hoist ropes, boom lines, and trolley lines. Bright finish helps with the corrosion and wear resistance.

* EIPS (Extra Improved Plowed Steel) wire rope has roughly 10% more strength than regular IPS. Independent wire rope core ( IWRC ) provides added strength, reduces the amount of stretch. IWRC wire rope also is resistance to heat and provides extra corrosion resistance over a typical bright wire finish.

To accommodate for heavier weights and more heavy-duty applications, industrial wire ropes are available in different designs. Some of the most important elements to consider when purchasing wire rope for sale are:

Elite Sales offers a wide range of options for wire rope. Wire rope capacity can be adjusted based on your individual applications. Here are a few options to consider:

Material.Steel grades in wide use today are improved plow steel (IPS) or extra improved plow steel (EIPS); Stainless steel grades 302/304 and 316 are most common.

Industrial wire rope or cables are comprised of three key elements which all serve to support the rope’s strength and durability. It is important to understand the purpose of each of these components and the options available.

Wires: The most basic element of the wire rope are the individual wires used to form the cable. The thicker the diameter of the wire, the stronger it is, while thinner wires are more flexible.

Strands: A combination of multiple wires that are woven together form a strand. These strands are wrapped tightly together to maximize their strength and prevent uneven wear or breakage.

Fiber Core(FC) which can be made of natural or synthetic fibers that gives the wire rope some elasticity. However, it is not extremely strong nor is it optimal for high heat.

Wire Strand Core (WSC) consists of a singular wire strand which the other wires are wrapped around. This provides added stability while providing flexibility in the wire rope.
