With multiple or multi-unit root of the flexible thin steel wire twisted into a rope, steel
wire rope is a multi-layer steel wire twisted into a unit, and then to rope core as the center, by a certain number of shares into a spiral around the rope twisting. In the material handling machinery for the promotion, traction, tension and load-bearing purposes. Steel
wire rope, high strength, light weight, smooth, easy to suddenly break the whole root, reliable.
(1) steel wire.
Wire rope to play the role of the loads, the performance of the major decisions by the steel wire. Carbon steel or alloy steel wire is cold-drawn or cold-rolled through the circle formed (or shaped) wire with high strength and toughness, and in accordance with the use of different environmental conditions on the steel surface treatment.
(2) The rope core. It is the Wire rope used to increase the flexibility and toughness, lubricated copper wire to reduce friction and increase service life. Used rope core of organic fibers (such as hemp, cotton), synthetic fibers, asbestos-core (high temperature) or soft metals and other materials.
