The steel wire rope is one of the most important parts in the elevator system, the determination of its carrying capacity is very important for the safe operation of the elevator. The carrying capacity of the elevator steel wire rope depends on many factors, including the diameter of the steel wire rope, the material, the structure, the installation method and the use conditions.

The diameter of steel wire rope used in elevator is one of the important factors affecting its bearing capacity. Generally speaking, the larger the diameter of the wire rope, the higher the carrying capacity, can withstand a greater load. In the selection of elevator wire rope, it is necessary to determine the appropriate diameter according to the load requirements of the elevator and the conditions of use.

The structure of the wire rope also affects its carrying capacity. Common wire rope structures include 6×19, 6×37, 8×19, etc. Wire rope of different structures has different bearing capacity and scope of application. In general, wire ropes with more complex structures have higher carrying capacity.
