Types of wire rope
Wire rope consists of several strands of metal wire laid. It is important to select types of wire rope after understanding product features.
- SG (1×19)
A rigid wire rope used for linear push-pull movements. - SA (3×7)
A wire rope with basic configurations. - SE (1×7)
A basic unit of wire rope. - SC (7×19)
7×19 wire rope is more flexible and more fatigue resistant than 7×7. (Suitable for the driving pulley) - SB (7×7)
7×7 is a wire rope consisting of 7 strands of 1×7 wire rope.
Nylon coating
- NSC (7×19) nylon coating (color:translucent)Compared to 7×7, it is flexible and excellent in fatigue characteristics. (ideal for driving via a pulley)
- NSB (7×7) nylon coating (color:translucent)A standard configuration combining seven 1×7.
Materials
| SUS304 | A most common material with corrosion resistance, heat resistance, and excellent mechanical properties. |
|---|---|
| SUS316 | Coated with molybdenum, having more corrosion resistance and acid resistance than SUS304. （※Please contact us for the availability of SUS316） |
Information on technology: stainless steel wire rope
How to twist wire ropes
 |
There are two different types of twist wire ropes. Z twist is commonly used. |
Coating
A coating wire rope maximizes metallic feature.
| Nylon 12 | Nylon 12 is used for driving wire rope to increase flexibility and abrasion resistance.
* Please refer to Wire Specifications for further information on diameter of SB(7×7)・SC（7×19）after coating. |
|---|---|
| Dia X | A combination of Nylon and carbon increase fatigue resistance.
