Available for online purchase in diameters from 8mm up to 16mm (up to 32mm on request) our 6x24 galvanized wire rope incorporates a fibre core and has excellent flexibility.
The construction of this rope is a little different to most others in that it has 6 main strands with each strand containing 24 wires, however the 24 wires are positioned into two layers and have 15 wires in the outer layer and 9 wires on the inner layer, all twisted around a 7 strand fibre core.
The amount of wires, together with the fibre core provide optimum flexibility, thus ideal for tasks that require constant bending. The 6x24 galvanized rope is commonly used in general engineering applications as well as agriculture, forestry, construction, shipping and mooring lines.
Other than its great flexibility this rope has a number of other good benefits. Firstly the rope possesses good shock absorption thanks to the fibre core whilst also reducing stress on the wires under load.
The second key benefit is its corrosion resistance; whilst not quite as good as stainless steel this rope has gone through a galvanization process, coating the wires with zinc to offer good protection against corrosion. This means the rope may be utilized outdoors and even in some marine environments.
It is worth noting that as with most highly flexible wire ropes the breaking strength is not as high as more rigid ropes. The minimum breaking factor for this 6x24 construction is K=0.280, see more in the specifications above.
Lifting Gear Direct can supply wire rope in galvanized or stainless steel. When it comes to the construction there is a great choice including 6x12, 7x19, 3x36, 7x7 and 1x19 in galvanized and 7x19, 6x36, 1x19 and 7x7 in stainless.
Our wire rope riggers can also make up custom rope assemblies to suit your requirements in our workshop; we have many end terminations to choose from including thimble eyes sockets. Find out more on our wire rope assemblies page.
