Wire rope
A wire rope is an assembly of several strands of wire twisted helically in one or more layers around a core. The core can be a fiber core (FC), a wire strand core or an independent wire rope core (IWRC).
Numbers are used to describe wire rope construction. A 6 x 19 wire rope means it has 6 strands and each strand is made of 19 wires. The letters which come after numbers indicate how outside layer is constructed. For example FW (filler wire) means the outer layer is made of same sized strands; or WS (Warrington Seale) means the outer layer is a combination of large and small strands.
Wire ropes are widely used in mining, drilling, oil and gas industry, marine and constructions for lifting loads or transmission of mechanical power. Choosing the proper wire rope for a specific job is based on many factors such as application, required strength and environment.

19X7 Non-Rotating Wire Rope
19X7 Non-Rotating Wire Rope
Non-rotating wire rope is constructed of many layers of strands to minimize the tendency to spin and rotate under load.
The outer layer in non-rotating wire rope is twisted in the reverse direction of inner layers; in this way it counteracts torsional forces generated from many layers of strands.
The wire rope with more layers of strands is more resistant to rotation.

6×12+7FC Governor Wire Rope
6×12+7FC Governor Wire Rope
An overspeed governor is a safety device that comes into operation when the lift car exceeds its permitted speed.
In case of falling or rising too fast, when the lift car exceeds its permitted speed, the overspeed governor trips and triggers the safety gear on the lift car via the governor rope. This activates the brakes and stops the elevator from falling or rising too quickly. Since this safety system relies on the governor rope, being reliable and in great working condition is very important when choosing the rope.
Wire ropes are strong, flexible and long-lasting, so they can be the best choice for governor ropes.

Stainless Steel Wire Rope
Stainless Steel Wire Rope
Stainless steel has less content of carbon than steel and a high amount of chromium to make it corrosion and staining resistant. Chromium makes stainless steel more resistant to rust but its hardness and tensile strength are less than steel due to the less amount of carbon.
More resistance to corrosion and high temperature make stainless steel wire ropes perfect for using in harsh environments. Stainless steel wire rope can also be used decoratively.
Stainless steel wire ropes are made in type 304 and type 316. There is an additional element in type 316, molybdenum, which is added to make the wire rope more corrosion resistant.
