I. Mechanical Properties: The core foundation for load-bearing and stability

Ultra-high tensile strength As a core load-bearing feature, the tensile strength of the single filament can reach 1570-2160 mpa (or even higher), and the overall breaking force varies with the diameter and structure (such as steel core vs. fiber core), which can meet the heavy-load requirements - from several tons of daily lifting to thousands of tons of load-bearing in bridge suspensions and Marine engineering mooring, it is the core guarantee for efficient load-bearing in the industrial field.

Low elongation: High-quality steel wire ropes (especially those with steel cores and compacted strands) have a low elongation under working loads, resulting in small deformation. They can precisely control the position accuracy of lifting and traction, making them suitable for scenarios with high stability requirements such as elevators, tower cranes, and precision hoisting.

Impact resistance and fatigue resistance: The toughness of the steel wire and its twisting structure (line contact, surface contact) enable it to withstand repeated stretching and bending under dynamic loads, and it is less likely to break due to impact or high-frequency cyclic loads. The fatigue life of line contact steel wire ropes is over 30% higher than that of point contact ones.

Anti-rotation performance (designed as required) : Through the interlocking twist structure with "opposite twist directions of rope and strand" (such as SZ/ZS type), it can significantly reduce the rotation and twisting during hoisting and lifting, prevent load swaying, and is suitable for scenarios such as high-rise building elevators and multi-rope friction hoists.

Ii. Structural Characteristics: Flexibility to adapt to different working conditions

Good flexibility: The multi-strand twisted structure and the buffering effect of the rope core (especially the fiber core) enable the steel wire rope to bend flexibly on pulleys and drums, making it suitable for compact space operations (such as elevator traction and winch pulling). Flexibility can be adjusted by "number of steel wires/number of strands" - when the rope diameter is the same, the more steel wires and strands there are, the better the flexibility.

Anti-compression and wear-resistant compatibility

Internal wear resistance: The line contact and surface contact structure reduces point friction between steel wires, ensuring uniform stress distribution and making it more resistant to internal wear than point contact steel wire ropes.

The coarse wire structure, surface coating (galvanizing, plastic coating, phosphating) or compacted strand design can resist contact wear with pulleys and drums. The wear resistance of the sealed steel wire rope is the best.

Structural stability: The pre-tensioning and non-loose twisting process can prevent the "loose strands" of steel wire ropes during use. The mixed twisting and multi-layer strand structure (such as 18×7, 35W×7) can balance rotational performance and stability, making it suitable for scenarios with ultra-thick diameters and ultra-long spans (such as the main cables of cable-stayed Bridges).
