Wire rope, galvanized, with a transparent coating. Made of high-quality wire rope with a nominal strength of 1770 N/mm². It features a lay length and is free of tension. According to EN 12385-4, lay lengths and tension-free wire ropes have the following advantages:

1. The strands of the ropes are pre-formed. Cut ropes maintain their position without the need for binding at the cut interface.
2. Since all strands are uniformly stretched, the load is evenly distributed across all individual wires in the rope.
3. The ropes have a low tendency to form kinks.
4. The unloaded wire rope is free of tension, as the wires have no pre-load. Therefore, the ropes show little tendency to twist under load.
5. The ropes are characterized by exceptional flexibility.
6. Lay lengths and tension-free ropes have a significantly increased lifespan compared to standard wire ropes.

Note: The recommended maximum load capacity (max. kg) is a calculated value based on the minimum breaking load (MBL) and a safety factor of 6. The level of the chosen safety factor depends on the specific application and the applicable regulations. For example, the maximum load capacity (max. kg) for a 3 mm wire rope: max. kg = MBL = 530 kN ~ 90 kg.

Construction: A wire rope consists of a number of strands, which in turn consist of a number of wires. Additionally, fiber reinforcements are integrated to support the strands, reduce vibrations in the wire rope, and accommodate lubricants. For example: 5 x 7 + 1 -> 5 strands with 7 wires each and 1 fiber reinforcement.

Important Note: The use of wire ropes must only be carried out in accordance with accident prevention regulations and the relevant EN standards, such as 12385 - 4, 13414, and 15020.
