6X29 IWRC

6×29 IWRC is a high-strength, flexible steel wire rope featuring 6 outer strands, each with 29 wires, built around an Independent Wire Rope Core (IWRC). Designed for durability, this rope uses Filler Wire (Fi) construction to balance flexibility with resistance to abrasion and crushing, making it ideal for cranes, winches, and logging.

Specifications

Key Characteristics and Applications:

  • Construction: 6 strands / 29 wires per strand (6x29Fi/6x29WS) with a steel core (IWRC) for superior structural stability and resistance to high temperatures or crushing.
  • Flexibility & Fatigue Resistance: The high wire count offers excellent fatigue resistance for repetitive bending over sheaves.
  • Applications: Commonly used in construction, mining, and marine industries for lifting, mooring, towing, and, specifically, as crane hoist ropes.
  • Surface Finishes: Available in bright, galvanized, or compacted forms to enhance strength and wear resistance.
  • Lay Type: Generally supplied in right-hand regular lay (RHRL) or left-hand regular lay (LHLL).

This wire rope is designed to offer a balance between high breaking strength and fatigue life, with the steel core providing greater support than a fiber core, allowing for reduced maintenance and longer service life.
