Steel Wire Rope ROPETEX S16
Product information
ROPETEX S16 (and S65) steel wire ropes are the most commonly used type of steel wire ropes in the range from 8 to 38 mm. Both can be used for a variety of applications.
Available as S16 with Fiber Core (FC) or as S65 with Independent Wire Rope Core (IWRC). S16 is more flexible but has a lower breaking strength.
S65 is less flexible but has higher strength and is more dimensionally stable, especially when used on sheaves or drums.
Typical applications:
- Wire rope sling
- Hoisting installations
- Lifting rope
- Mooring cable
- Towing rope
- Lifting applications
Alternatives:
-
ROPETEX S65 is a very comparable rope with an Independent Steel Wire Rope Core (IWRC) instead of a Fiber Core (FC);
