Product Information

Full details

This guide is for professionals and DIY enthusiasts requiring robust static load support, such as for architectural installations or standing rigging. Its key benefit is the exceptional strength and durability of 316-grade stainless steel, suitable for harsh environments. A key caveat is its low flexibility, making it unsuitable for applications requiring frequent bending. This 10mm 1x19 construction wire rope offers superior tensile strength and minimal stretch, ideal for secure, long-term applications where flexibility is not a priority.

FAQs

What is the primary advantage of the 1x19 construction?

The 1x19 construction offers very high tensile strength and is the least flexible of common wire rope constructions. This makes it ideal for static applications where minimal stretch and high load-bearing capacity are critical, such as standing rigging or architectural supports.

Is this wire rope suitable for applications that require bending?

No, the 1x19 construction is very stiff and has very low flexibility. It is not suitable for applications that involve frequent bending, coiling, or dynamic movement, as it can kink easily and lose strength.

How do I determine the length I need?

You should measure the required run for your application and add extra length for terminations (e.g., loops, splices). It's often recommended to add at least 1-2 meters to your final measurement to account for wastage and the securement process.

What does '316 Grade Stainless Steel' mean for its performance?

316 grade stainless steel is a high-quality alloy known for its superior corrosion resistance, especially against chlorides (like salt water) and acids. This makes it an excellent choice for marine, coastal, or industrial environments where exposure to harsh elements is expected.

Can I use standard wire rope clips with this cable?

Yes, you can use standard wire rope clips, but it is highly recommended to use them with a thimble to protect the eye of the loop from wear and deformation. Ensure the clips and thimble are the correct size for 10mm wire rope and are installed according to best practices.

What is the breaking load of this cable?

The breaking load for this 10mm 1x19 stainless steel wire rope cable is 8400KG.

How should I store unused wire rope?

Store the wire rope loosely coiled in a clean, dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid kinking the rope during storage.

Troubleshooting

Wire rope appears kinked or damaged.

Inspect the entire length carefully. A kink can permanently weaken the rope. If significant damage is present, the section should be replaced. Avoid bending the rope sharply during handling and installation.

Difficulty cutting the wire rope.

Ensure you are using appropriate heavy-duty cutting tools specifically designed for steel wire rope of this diameter and construction. Standard wire cutters will not be sufficient.

Termination is slipping or failing.

Verify that the correct type and size of termination hardware (e.g., clips, sleeves) are being used for 10mm 1x19 wire rope. Ensure hardware is installed correctly and tightened to the manufacturer's specifications. Consider using a thimble to protect the eye of the loop.

Corrosion is visible on the surface.

While 316 stainless steel offers excellent resistance, it is not entirely immune to corrosion, especially in harsh marine environments. Clean the affected area with a soft brush and mild soap, rinse with fresh water, and dry thoroughly. If corrosion is deep or compromising the rope's integrity, replacement may be necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional tensile strength due to 1x19 construction.
  • High corrosion resistance from 316-grade stainless steel.
  • Very low stretch for stable structural applications.
  • Durable and suitable for demanding environmental conditions.
  • Can be ordered to exact required lengths.

Cons

  • Very low flexibility; not suitable for applications requiring bending.
  • Prone to kinking if mishandled due to its stiffness.
  • Requires specialized tools and knowledge for proper termination.
  • Not ideal for dynamic or moving applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Measure and Cut: Determine the precise length needed. Note that this wire rope is stiff and requires appropriate cutting tools (e.g., heavy-duty wire rope cutters or an abrasive chop saw).
  2. Termination: Secure the ends using appropriate fittings such as swaged sleeves, wire rope clips (thimbles are recommended to protect the rope), or other mechanical termination methods designed for 1x19 wire rope. Ensure terminations are installed according to manufacturer instructions and relevant safety standards.
  3. Installation: Install the wire rope to support the intended load, ensuring all connection points are secure and rated for the expected forces.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with standard rigging hardware, thimbles, swages, and clips designed for 10mm wire rope.
  • Best suited for applications where the rope remains largely static.

Care:

  • Inspection: Regularly inspect the wire rope for any signs of wear, corrosion, kinks, or damage. Pay close attention to the termination points.
  • Cleaning: If used in a corrosive environment, clean with fresh water and a mild detergent, then dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Storage: Store in a clean, dry place, away from excessive heat or direct sunlight. Coil loosely to prevent kinks.
  • Avoid Kinks: Due to its rigid construction, avoid sharp bends or kinks, as these can permanently damage the rope and reduce its strength.
