Description

Fiber Core Steel Wire Rope (FC) is a type of wire rope that uses a fiber core as the central element around which steel wire strands are helically laid. The fiber core can be made from natural fibers (like sisal, jute, or manila) or synthetic fibers (like polypropylene), depending on performance needs. The fiber core provides greater flexibility and elasticity compared to steel core variants (like IWRC), making FC wire ropes especially suitable for applications requiring frequent bending over sheaves and pulleys, or where softer handling is preferred. Fiber cores can also act as lubricant reservoirs, helping to extend rope life.

Features

• Compared to ropes with traditional steel cores, fiber core ropes are lighter, making them easier to handle and transport.
• The fiber core provides flexibility and allows the rope to bend and coil smoothly, making it ideal for applications that require maneuverability.
• The steel wires in fiber core ropes are usually galvanized or coated, making them more resistant to rust and corrosion.
