Stainless steel rope in 2mm - 8mm thickness with fork terminals

Our salt water resistant stainless steel ropes A4(AISI 316) comply with the DIN European Standard 13414-1 and are assigned to the rope classes 1x19, 7x7 and 7x19, these are one or 7 strands with 7 or 19 wires each. Stainless steel ropes with 1x19 construction are considered "stiff" and not very flexible due to the small number of individual wires. 7x7 and 7x19 constructions, on the other hand, offer high flexibility due to the large number of individual wires. The stainless steel wire rope is pressed on both sides with a stainless steel fork terminal in order to be able to attach it to suitable anchor points.

Tested quality: We only use high-quality industrial steel with the premium quality V4A AISI 316 for our stainless steel wire ropes, making the stainless steel wire rope resistant to both salt water and acids. With the help of several of our own calibrated universal tensile testing machines, we are able to guarantee seamless quality assurance. The following minimum breaking forces of stainless steel cables with swaged terminals were determined in several test trials:

• 2mm fork terminal with steel cable 7x7: 336kg
• 3mm fork terminal with 7x19 steel cable: 764kg
• 4mm fork terminal with 7x19 steel cable: 1,274kg
• 5mm fork terminal with steel cable 7x19: 1,559kg
• 6mm fork terminal with steel cable 7x19: 2,599kg
• 8mm fork terminal with steel cable 7x19: 4.566kg

• 2mm fork terminal with steel cable 1x19: 346kg
• 3mm fork terminal with steel cable 1x19: 744kg
• 4mm fork terminal with steel cable 1x19: 1,508kg
• 5mm fork terminal with steel cable 1x19: 2,171kg
• 6mm fork terminal with steel cable 1x19: 2,874kg

Attention! The breaking forces of the terminals are specified without a safety factor. Please base your application on at least a 5-fold safety factor (example 3mm / 7x19 / fork terminal: 764kg (breaking load) : 5 (safety factor) = 152kg (payload)). The detailed test reports can be found under "Test reports" on the article page.

Versatile applications: Stainless steel cables with fork terminals can be used for suitable guy wires for sailboats, for facade greening, for stair railings. Due to the corrosion resistance, stainless steel ropes are increasingly used in outdoor applications.
