vinyl coated steel wire rope kit price

Coated cable is a great option for uses where a wire rope needs both abrasion protection and flexibility. Aircraft vinyl coated cable, in a 7 x 19 configuration is an excellent choice when both flexibility and durability are required. A vinyl coating not only protects hands and makes the wire rope more easy to handle, it also seals in any lubrication on the wire rope, increasing its useful life. While the terms vinyl coated wire rope and plastic coated wire rope are often used interchangeably, there is very little differences in the rope style.

A coated steel cable comes in a variety of diameters and styles, and in the case of popular airline cable, is generally available in both a galvanized wire rope and a stainless steel wire rope. Both styles of plastic coated cable provide protection from the elements. A galvanized vinyl coated steel rope is slightly stronger than a coated stainless steel cable, but a stainless steel wire rope will provide a better level of protection from rust and other corrosion.

Small diameter 7x7 and 7x19 construction cable is sometimes referred to as "aircraft cable". This is not intended for aircraft use, but designed for industrial and marine applications. When using wire rope clips with plastic coated cable, match clip size to un-coated cable diameter (3/16" cable coated to 1/4" takes 3/16" clip). Strip plastic coating off where clips will be positioned for full holding power.

Manufactruring extrudes a variety of jacketing types for strand, aircraft cable and wire rope. We manufacture custom coatings to specific diameters in a wide range of colors to meet your specific demands. Adding a jacket to your cable or wire rope provides extra durability and helps increase the lifespan of the cable or wire rope. Sandin Manufacturing has the capability to extrude bare cable from .014" diameter to .625" diameter.

Coated cable is available in various types of nylon, UV resistant vinyl, polyethylene, polypropylene, and hytrel. Custom color matching is available for the different coatings.

Stainless steel 304, uncoated wire rope, with 7x7 standard construction, is used in pulleys, and in aircraft and automotive controls. Stainless steel 304, also called 18-8, is corrosion-resistant, and withstands high temperatures for a wide range of operation. Stainless steel 304 is a versatile material, commonly used in a wide variety of applications, and in saline atmospheres. Vinyl, also called Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), is corrosion-resistant, lightweight, and has high strength. It resists reactions with acids, gasolines, alcohol, and hydrocarbons. It is flexible, and is resistant to weather and ultra-violet (UV) rays. Vinyl coating is a hard, durable plastic that resists most chemicals, has excellent dimensional stability, and can be sterilized. It resists oil, has absorbs low levels of moisture, and is non-conductive. 7x7 strand core has seven strands of wire rope with seven wires in each strand, formed helically around a strand core. 7x7 strand core is stronger but less flexible than 6x19 and 6x36 class constructions.
