What is the function of the wire rope core?
The main function of the wire rope core is to increase the elasticity and toughness of the wire rope, to lubricate the steel wire, to reduce the friction and to improve the service life of the wire rope. The commonly used rope core types include organic fibers (such as hemp and cotton), synthetic fiber, asbestos core (high temperature) or soft metal materials etc..
A wire rope is a flexible rope twisted with a plurality of strands or strands of fine steel wire. The wire rope is twisted by multi-layer steel wires and then twisted by a certain number of strands into a spiral rope at the center of the rope core. In material handling machinery, for lifting, traction, tensioning and loading purposes. The wire rope has the advantages of high strength, light weight, stable work, easy breaking and whole breaking, and reliable work.
