Stainless Steel 302 Wire Rope, 7 x 19 Strands, 3/64" OD, 10' Length, 270 lbs Breaking Strength

Stainless steel 302 wire rope with 1x7 standard construction is commonly used over pulleys, rigging, winches, in exercise equipment, and garage door mechanics. Stainless steel 302 has corrosion-resistance and strength, compared to galvanized carbon steel grades. This commonly used material has the same resistance as 304, but additional carbon provides higher strength. 7x19 strand core has seven strands of wire rope with nineteen wires in each strand, formed helically around a strand core. 7x19 strand core is strong, and more flexible and fatigue-resistant than 7x7 class construction.

Wire rope, also called wire cable, is an assembly of wire strands formed helically around a central core. It is used for pulling, lifting, rigging, hoisting, and motion-control applications most commonly found in the manufacturing, marine, oil, mining, fiber-optics, aircraft, automotive accessory, and construction industries. A combination of characteristics including material, finish, construction, diameter, length, and breaking strength combines to give each rope its performance ability. Wire rope materials are selected for properties such as strength, elasticity, conductivity, and chemical- and weather-resistance. For strength purposes, most wire rope is made of bright (uncoated or bare) wire. However, it is also produced in a variety of finishes, such as polypropylene (PE), vinyl (PVC), or nylon. These coatings can increase overall durability and strength, and allow for specific use. The breaking strength for wire rope is the strength at which new wire rope will fail under a stationary load. Breaking strength is not considered safe working load (SWL) limit.
