8×K61 Compacted Strand Steel Wire Rope
8×K61 Compacted Strand Steel Wire Rope
The 8×K61 Compacted Strand Steel Wire Rope is engineered for high-performance lifting and hoisting operations where strength, endurance and reliability are paramount. Built with eight compacted strands, each composed of 61 individual wires, this rope features a specialized compaction process that increases metallic density, reduces internal voids and delivers improved load capacity and abrasion resistance compared to traditional ropes.
Key Features
-
Compacted Construction – Through compaction the outer wires are flattened, increasing metallic cross-section and reducing spaces between wires; this leads to smoother surface, higher strength and reduced internal friction.
-
Superior Load Capacity – The 8×K61 design supports higher breaking loads per diameter, making it ideal for heavy-duty cranes, offshore rigs and demanding industrial lifting.
-
Enhanced Wear & Fatigue Resistance – Thanks to the tighter packing of wires and smoother bearing surface, the rope offers improved resistance to abrasion, drum-crushing and cyclical bending fatigue.
-
Maintained Flexibility – Although strong and compacted, the rope preserves sufficient flexibility for efficient reeling, spooling and multi-layer drum applications.
-
Industrial-Grade Reliability – Suited for use in construction, mining, maritime and heavy-machinery environments, where durability and consistency matter most.
