Steel Wire Rope
Wire Rope 6X19+FC
A 6X19+FC steel wire rope with a fiber core, available in ungalvanized galvanized or stainless steel variants. It is designed for lifting and rigging applications where high tensile strength and fatigue resistance are required. The rope is manufactured to DIN 1480 and EN 12385-1 standards, with nominal diameters from 3mm to 60mm and tensile strengths ranging from 1570 MPa to 1960 MPa. It is suitable for use in cranes, hoists, winches and fixed lifting systems across industrial and marine environments.

An honest read on where this pattern wins and where another one would serve you better.
| Alternative | Honest Trade Off |
|---|---|
| 6X36+FC | 6X19+FC has higher tensile strength and better fatigue resistance but less flexibility than 6X36+FC |
| IWRC | 6X19+FC has better elasticity and shock absorption than IWRC but lower resistance to crushing and compression |
| Galvanized rope | Ungalvanized offers higher tensile strength but less corrosion resistance than galvanized |
| Stainless steel rope | Stainless steel has superior corrosion resistance but lower tensile strength and higher cost than carbon steel |
Use Guide
How To Use And Inspect Wire Rope 6X19+FC
- Match the stamped working load limit to the calculated load, not the equipment rating
- Inspect the rope for broken wires kinks or core extrusion before each use
- Avoid sharp bends and pinch points that can cause localized stress and premature failure
- Replace the rope if more than 10% of wires are broken in any lay length
- Do not use in high-temperature environments where the fiber core may degrade
- Store in dry conditions to prevent moisture absorption and corrosion

Answers
Wire Rope 6X19+FC FAQ
What is the difference between 6X19+FC and 6X19+IWRC?
6X19+FC has a fiber core which provides better elasticity and shock absorption, while 6X19+IWRC has an independent wire rope core which resists crushing and compression better but is stiffer.
Can this rope be used in marine environments?
Yes. Stainless steel or galvanized versions are available for marine and offshore use to resist saltwater corrosion.
What is the design factor for this wire rope?
A standard 4:1 design factor is applied unless otherwise specified. The minimum breaking load is four times the safe working load.
Are Material Test Certificates available?
Yes. A Material Test Certificate to EN 10204 3.1 is supplied with the order on request.
Can you supply custom lengths and diameters?
Yes. Custom diameters and lengths are available. The rope can be cut and marked to your specifications.
How is the rope packed for export?
Standard packing is on wooden reels or coils. Custom packaging including carton and pallet configuration is available to suit your warehouse or shipping needs.
What standards does this wire rope comply with?
It complies with DIN 1480 and EN 12385-1 for lifting wire rope. Additional standards include EN 1492-1 and EN 1492-2 for rigging applications.
