This 19x19 wire rope is compacted, meaning the diameter was reduced during the manufacturing process. This results in additional strength (when compared to a non-compacted 19x19 wire rope of the same diameter), and allows it to spool better. It's also more resistant to crushing, abrasion, and wear, extending the service life for your steel cable.
This wire rope is easy to handle and flexible due to the 19x19 construction, and it's rotation-resistant - the inner strands are laid in the opposite direction as the outer strands, allowing the inner strands to counteract the outer strand rotation. This prevents rotation while under load, and the higher outer strand count offers better spin-resistance than 8x19 and 6x26 options. It has more than 10 outer strands and is classified as a Category 2 Rotation-Resistant Rope, meaning it has significant rotation-resistance.
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 19x19. 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 19x19 class, the number of outer strands is 19, and the number of wires making up each strand ranges from 15-26
This product has a bright steel finish, which means it's uncoated except for an A-1 petroleum-based lubricant. This lubricant offers basic corrosion- and water-resistance and reduces friction to protect the rope. The lubricant is applied to both internal and external wires for more in-depth protection.
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.
Does this wire rope come as one length? Yes, the quantity you add to the cart will be provided as one unbroken length of rope. So if you add this to the cart with a quantity of 1000, you will receive one 1000-foot long rope.
Can I order multiple separate lengths? Yes. For example, if you need two 1500-foot lengths of rope, you would set the quantity to 1500 and then add that to the cart twice. For each separate instance you add this to the cart, you will get a separate length of rope.
Can I order lengths less than the minimum order quantity if when combined they will be greater than the minimum order quantity? Yes - please call to speak to one of our product experts to place this order.
