6×26WS-FC

The 6×26WS-FC is a high-performance wire rope featuring a classic Warrington-Seale (WS) line-contact construction and a fiber core (FC). While maintaining excellent flexibility and fatigue resistance, the fiber core provides effective elastic cushioning and internal lubrication, making this a staple model widely used in lifting and mining operations.

The "26WS" designation indicates that each strand consists of 26 wires; the outer wires are thicker while the inner wires are finer, imparting a balance of superior wear resistance and flexibility to the rope. The line-contact structure minimizes contact stress and internal friction, effectively preventing fatigue-induced wire breakage caused by repeated bending; consequently, its service life is typically one to two times longer than that of point-contact ropes.

The core is made of natural or synthetic fiber (such as sisal or polypropylene). Acting like a "sponge" within the rope, the fiber core stores a significant amount of lubricant while providing excellent elastic cushioning.
