What steel wire rope construction do we choose?
Steel wire ropes: they come in all shapes and sizes. The right steel wire rope choice for you depends on the application. There are many aspects to consider, such as the construction, the number of strands, the ratio between inner and outer wires and the thickness of the wires. Yet in practice, I often see that the diameter and breaking load of the wire rope are the main focus. These are indeed important, but I strongly recommend: don’t focus solely on them. I’ll happily explain why.
