Elevator Industry Line Contact Wire Rope 6×29F-IWRC 12mm 6 Strands

6×29F-IWRC - 12 industrial tire

The following is an introduction to the line-contact wire rope 6×29F - IWRC:

Structural Characteristics

    ●    Strand Composition: "6×29F" indicates that the wire rope is composed of 6 strands, with 29 wires in each strand. "F" represents the filler construction. The wires in the strand are in line contact, consisting of main wires and filler wires, arranged in a compact manner.

    ●    Core Type: "IWRC" stands for independent wire rope core, which is usually made by twisting multiple strands of steel wires. It provides internal support for the wire rope, enhancing the overall strength and flexibility.

Performance Characteristics

    ●    High Bearing Capacity: The line-contact structure results in low contact stress between the wires, enabling each wire to fully exert its bearing capacity, and thus the breaking force of the whole rope is high.

    ●    Good Wear Resistance: The wires are closely arranged and the surface is relatively smooth. When in contact with pulleys, drums, etc. during use, the wear is relatively uniform, and the wear resistance is good.

    ●    Moderate Flexibility: It has a certain degree of softness, which facilitates bending and winding in various lifting equipment and traction devices, and can also maintain good structural stability.

Specification Dimensions

The common diameter range is generally between 10mm and 40mm, such as 12mm, 16mm, 20mm, 24mm, 32mm, 36mm, etc.

Application Scenarios

It is commonly used in general lifting, hoisting and traction operations, such as material hoisting in construction, cargo handling in port terminals, hoisting equipment in underground mines, etc. It is also suitable for some occasions where the flexibility and wear resistance of wire ropes are required, such as the hoisting ropes and luffing ropes of cranes.

Material and Strength

It is usually made of high-quality carbon steel wires and undergoes appropriate heat treatment and surface treatment processes to improve the strength and toughness of the wires. Its strength levels are generally 1770MPa, 1870MPa, 1960MPa, etc.
