18×K19 Compacted Strand Wire Rope
18×K19 Compacted Strand Wire Rope is a type of wire rope that undergoes a special “compaction” process during manufacturing, where the individual strands of the wire are tightly compressed to reduce the spaces between the wires. This results in a stronger, more durable wire rope compared to traditional wire ropes, making it ideal for high-load and demanding applications.
Description
The 18×K19 Compacted Strand Wire Rope is a high-performance, rotation-resistant wire rope featuring 18 strands, each made of 19 wires compacted into a K-style profile. This advanced configuration provides an ideal combination of high strength, flexibility, excellent fatigue resistance, and low rotational properties, making it particularly well-suited for high-rise lifting, tower cranes, offshore winching, and deep well operations. Its compacted strands increase the metallic cross-section, enhancing tensile strength and improving drum contact while reducing wear on sheaves. The multi-strand structure distributes load efficiently, greatly reducing rope elongation and improving rope balance during lifting.
Feature of 18×K19 Compacted Strand Wire Rope
- Compacted Structure: Through the compaction process, the individual wires in each strand are compressed together, increasing the overall strength of the rope and reducing internal friction.
- Higher Load Capacity: The compacted design allows the wire rope to withstand higher loads, making it suitable for heavy-duty lifting and hauling tasks.
- Improved Wear Resistance: The tight packing of the wires reduces friction between them, enhancing the rope's abrasion resistance and extending its service life in demanding environments.
- Fatigue Resistance: The compacted strands make the rope more resistant to fatigue from repeated bending and stretching, significantly increasing its durability.
- Better Flexibility: Despite its increased strength, compacted strand wire ropes maintain a good level of flexibility, allowing them to perform well in applications that require frequent bending or movement.
