18*19+FC 18*19+IWS Rotation Resistance Steel Wire Rope
The designation “18×19″ refers to the construction of the wire rope, indicating the arrangement of wires within it. In this configuration, there are 18 outer strands, each composed of 19 wires. This construction provides several key advantages over traditional wire rope designs.
Rotation Resistance: A Crucial Safety Feature
One of the primary benefits of the 18×19 configuration is its resistance to rotation. In lifting applications where precise control is necessary, rotation-resistant wire rope prevents unwanted twisting and spinning of the load. This feature is particularly vital when lifting sensitive or fragile materials, where even slight rotation could cause damage or compromise safety.
Enhanced Flexibility and Handling
Despite its rotation resistance, the 18×19 wire rope maintains a high level of flexibility, allowing for smooth handling and maneuverability. This flexibility makes it easier to work with in tight spaces or complex rigging configurations, where traditional wire ropes may struggle to bend and conform to the required shape.
Durability and Longevity
Durability is another hallmark of 18×19 rotation-resistant wire rope. The robust construction, with multiple layers of wires, provides superior strength and resistance to abrasion and fatigue. This durability translates to extended service life, reducing the need for frequent replacements and maintenance, thereby lowering overall operating costs.
Versatility Across Applications
From construction cranes to ship mooring lines, the versatility of 18×19 rotation-resistant wire rope makes it suitable for a wide range of applications. Its ability to withstand heavy loads and harsh environmental conditions makes it indispensable in industries where reliability is non-negotiable.

18×19 ropes are ROTATION RESISTANT but NOT non-rotating
18×19 ropes is softer than 18*7 series of the same diameter. It is a kind of linear contact lay steel wire rope.
Usage: Vertical Shafts/Oil drilling/Truck crane/Ship loading

Cautions:
1. Store unused wire rope in a dry, clean area away from moisture, chemicals, and other corrosive substances. Proper storage helps prevent degradation of the rope’s properties.
2.Do not exceed the WLL of the wire rope.
