6×K61 Compacted Strand Wire Rope
6×K61 Compacted Strand Steel Wire Rope
The 6×K61 compacted strand steel wire rope is engineered for high‑performance lifting, hoisting and equipment applications where strength, durability and precision matter. In this construction, six outer compacted strands each consist of 61 tightly compressed wires—reducing internal voids, increasing steel area and delivering superior structural integrity.
Key Features
-
Compacted Construction – The compaction process compresses each strand to a denser profile, minimizing gaps between wires and producing a smoother outer surface with higher steel‑content per cross‑section.
-
Enhanced Load Capacity – With the improved construction, the rope supports higher loads for a given diameter, making it suitable for heavy‑duty cranes, winches and hoisting systems.
-
Superior Wear & Fatigue Resistance – The denser strands reduce internal friction, enhance bending fatigue life and improve resistance to abrasion and crushing on drums and sheaves.
-
Excellent Flexibility & Spooling Performance – Although designed for high‑strength use, the rope retains flexibility needed for dynamic applications, multilayer drum spooling and frequent bending cycles.
-
Reliable in Demanding Environments – Ideal for construction, mining, maritime and offshore industrial settings where reliability, uptime and service life are critical.
Construction & Options
-
Construction: 6×K61 — six compacted strands, each comprised of 61 wires.
-
Material Grades: Available in various high‑tensile steel grades tailored to application requirements.
-
Finishes & Core Options: Available in bright (un‑galvanised) and galvanised finishes; optional Fibre Core (FC) or Independent Wire Rope Core (IWRC) depending on service environment.
-
Diameter Range: Customisable diameters as per project needs to suit high performance lifting gear or industrial winches.
Typical Applications
The 6×K61 compacted rope is highly suitable for:
-
Tower cranes, bridge cranes, mobile vessel cranes and container handling systems
-
Offshore rigs, deep hoisting operations, marine winches and heavy industrial lifting gear
-
Multi‑layer drum systems and any scenario where fatigue life, durability and smooth spooling are key performance factors
