1/2″ 6×37 Stainless Steel Wire Rope – Type 304 IWRC | 5,000′ Coil

1/2″ 6×37 Wire Rope Cable | 304 Stainless

This type 304 stainless wire rope belongs to the 6×37 class, which is known for flexibility. Along with the 6×19 class, 6×37 wire rope is the perfect general-use steel cable and can be used for many applications, including as hoisting rope, suspension cables, winch lines, and more.

The 6×37 configuration offers higher flexibility and better fatigue-resistance (it can bend repeatedly without breaking) than the 6×19; however, it is less abrasion-resistant.

6×37 Wire Rope Configuration

Our wire rope is made using type 304 stainless steel. This offers more corrosion-resistance than galvanized wire rope but less than type 316 (316 is considered marine-grade). It’s a great choice for most applications where rust-protection is needed because, while it isn’t quite as resistant as type 316, it is a stronger wire and it’s generally more cost-effective.

The class of this wire rope is 6×37. These numbers nominally refer to the construction of the wire rope – the number of outer strands around the core and an estimation of the number of wires within each of these outer strands. so for a 6×37 class, the number of outer strands is 6, and the number of wires making up each strand can range from 27-49. The construction of the rope you will be receiving is 6×36 – if you are looking for something different, please call.

The independent wire rope core (IWRC) provides more support than a fiber core – it’s more resistant to crushing and is better suited for high temperature applications. Their general temperature range is between -40F / -40C and 400F / 204C.
