PVC coated wire rope in 3-12mm thickness, thimble/cut

Our galvanized and PVC coated steel ropes are classified as 6x7 and 6x19, which are 6 strands with 7 or 19 wires each. The high number of individual wires provides both high flexibility and increased stability. The wire rope is crimped at one end with a rope thimble to stabilize the steel rope at the load suspension point. At the other end, the steel cable is cleanly cut to make threading into a wire rope clamp as easy as possible.

Durable finish: the high quality wire rope is encased in a 1-2mm thick transparent plastic sheath to protect against damage and dirt, and for ease of handling. The PVC sheath protects items from abrasions and scratches.

Tested quality: Using calibrated universal tensile testing machines, the following breaking forces of the sheathed wire ropes with thimbles could be determined:

• 3mm (2 on 3): 239kg
• 4mm (3 on 4): 597kg
• 6mm (4 on 6): 958kg
• 8mm (6 to 8): 1,994kg
• 10mm (8 to 10): 3,926kg
• 12mm (10 to 12): 4.933kg

Attention. Breaking forces of steel ropes are given without safety factor. We recommend to consider at least a 5-fold safety factor for your application. The detailed test reports can be found under "Test reports" on the article page.

Custom-made rope end connections often do not comply with DIN. In the case of self-assembly using wire rope clamps in screw form, the specified breaking loads cannot be taken as a basis.

Important safety note: In the case of long-term loading of sheathed steel wire ropes, a regular visual inspection of the steel wire rope must be carried out. The reason for this is possible corrosion within the sheathing. In principle, we recommend using steel wire ropes without sheathing for safety-relevant suspensions.

Optimal self-assembly: Since the wire ropes are only swaged on one side, they can be optimally used for self-assembly with suitable rope clamps. The length can be individually adjusted and the sheathed steel cable can be tensioned to the desired length using a tensioning element, for example, or fastened with a snap hook.
