Description

The 8×K36 Compacted Strand Steel Wire Rope is a robust, high-performance rope constructed from 8 compacted K-type strands, each consisting of 36 individual wires. The “K” strand denotes a specially shaped (compacted) structure that maximizes metallic cross-sectional area, thereby enhancing tensile strength, abrasion resistance, and service life. The 8-strand layout offers superior flexibility compared to 6-strand ropes, while the compacted strands deliver higher load capacity and smoother contact with sheaves and drums. This makes 8×K36 ropes especially well-suited for multi-layer spooling systems, winches, and high-cycle lifting environments.

Feature of 8×K36 Compacted Strand Steel 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.
