3 Types of Wire Rope
                     3 Types of Wire Rope
 There are Different Kinds of Wire Rope available for 
Industrial Applications. Wire Ropes are classified in the total 
number of strands and the exact amount of wires used in 
each strand, weight lifting capacity, twisting resistance etc. 
Besides all kinds of wire ropes, some of them are specially 
Designed ropes for construction and Lifting Applications.
Rotation Resistant:
 Some wire rope especially lang 
lay type are more susceptible to 
rotation while under load. This 
kind of wire rope is specially 
designed to prevent twisting or 
rotation and can be used in a 
single line or multipart system.
 It needs to take care of while 
installation and handling the 
rotation resistant wire rope. 
Improper handling produces 
twist into the rope which can 
cause imbalanced rotation.
Compacted Strand:
 Compacted Strand wire rope is 
manufactured using strands 
that have been intensive, this 
design decrease the diameter of 
the whole strand by passing 
from rollers.
 Passing through this process, 
outer wires surfaces will flatten, 
but increase the density of the 
strands. It turns into a smoother 
outer surface and increases the 
strength compared to 
comparable round wire rope.
Swaged Type:
 Its a slide different from the 
normal compact wire rope, it 
comes with a compacted 
diameter or it can be 
decreased by the rotary 
machine after the wire rope 
has been closed. This wire 
Rope produces by combining 
the round strands.
 Swaged wire ropes are more 
wear and crushing resistance, 
and high strength compared to 
a round strand wire rope of the 
same diameter. Albeit, a 
swaged wire rope may have 
less bending fatigue resistance.
