17x7 Wire Rope
The 17×7 wire rope consists of 17 strands, each made up of 7 wires, twisted together in a precise pattern to form a strong and durable structure. This configuration provides a balance of high strength and flexibility, making it well-suited for demanding applications.
Typically constructed from high-strength steel alloys, 17×7 wire rope offers excellent resistance to bending, abrasion, and wear. Its durability and load-bearing capacity make it ideal for heavy-duty lifting, hoisting operations, elevator systems, and suspension bridges.
The 17x7 wire ropes are made from high-tensile steel alloys for superior strength and Can handle heavy loads in lifting and rigging operations with excellent flexibility.

17x7+IWS Wire Rope
The 17×7+IWS wire rope is a high-performance, non-rotating steel cable designed for heavy-duty applications requiring high strength, flexibility, and durability. This wire rope consists of 17 outer strands, each made up of 7 individual wires, and an Independent Wire Strand (IWS) core that enhances its structural integrity.
- Exceptional Strength and Load Capacity: The 17 outer strands + IWS core provide increased tensile strength. Capable of handling heavy loads in demanding applications.
- Enhanced Durability: The IWS core adds structural reinforcement, reducing internal wear. Resistant to fatigue, bending stress, and mechanical damage.
- Corrosion Resistance: Often made from stainless steel or galvanized steel to withstand harsh environments. Ideal for marine, offshore, and chemical industries.
- Extended Service Life & Low Maintenance: Built with high-quality materials to resist wear and tear. Requires minimal upkeep, reducing downtime and operational costs.
17x7 Galvanized Wire Rope
The 17×7 galvanized wire rope is a variation of the standard 17×7 configuration, distinguished by its protective zinc coating. This galvanization process enhances rust and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for outdoor, marine, and industrial applications where exposure to moisture and harsh environments is a concern.
- Superior Corrosion Resistance: The zinc coating protects against rust and oxidation. Perfect for outdoor, marine, and humid environments.
- Long-Lasting Performance: The protective zinc layer extends the rope’s lifespan, reducing maintenance needs. Withstands harsh environmental conditions better than ungalvanized alternatives.
- Flexible & Versatile: Maintains flexibility while being strong enough for heavy-duty applications. Suitable for various industries, including construction, marine, and industrial use.
- High Strength & Durability: The 17×7 strand configuration ensures exceptional load-bearing capacity. The galvanized coating reinforces structural integrity for enhanced longevity.
17x7 Ungalvanized Wire Rope
The 17×7 ungalvanized wire rope is a type of bare steel wire rope without a protective zinc coating. It consists of 17 outer strands, each containing 7 individual wires, twisted together to form a strong, flexible, and durable structure. While it lacks the corrosion resistance of galvanized or stainless steel wire ropes, it offers greater ductility, cost-effectiveness, and versatility for various industrial applications.
- Cost-Effective: More affordable than galvanized or stainless steel wire ropes. Ideal for budget-conscious projects where corrosion resistance is not a major concern.
- Easier to Coat & Maintain: Easier to lubricate and apply protective coatings to enhance durability. Custom treatments can be added for specific environmental conditions.
- High Ductility & Flexibility: Softer and more ductile than galvanized or stainless steel alternatives. Suitable for applications requiring frequent bending and movement.
- Wide Range of Applications: Commonly used in aircraft cables, automotive cables, and marine cables. Also found in winches, cranes, and mechanical power transmission systems.
