About this construction

How does 8×26 differ from 8×19?

More wires per strand. 8×26 is finer and more flexible with better fatigue life; 8×19 has thicker outer wires and resists abrasion better. Breaking force with a steel core is identical between the two.
This is the most flexible construction you offer — when do I need that?

Where the rope bends hard and often: small sheave diameters, multiple falls, high cycle counts, tight reeving on compact machines. Flexibility buys fatigue life in exactly those conditions.
What's the trade-off?

Finer outer wires wear through faster against drums, sheaves and edges. If your ropes are being retired for surface wear rather than broken wires, step back to 8×19 or a 6-strand construction.
Which constructions are included?

8×29Fi, 8×31WS and 8×36WS. All share diameter and breaking force but differ in wire arrangement — tell us your sheave sizes and duty cycle and we'll recommend one.

Applications

The most flexible rope we make

Eight strands, each built from many fine wires, gives a rope that bends more easily than anything else in the range. It's the answer where machines have small sheaves and ropes reeve through multiple falls — flexibility bought at the cost of surface hardness.

Manufacturing

Drawn, stranded and closed in-house

Every rope starts as Baosteel or Shagang wire rod and runs through our own servo-driven drawing and planetary stranding machines. German Fosser lubricant is applied at closing, and each rope is tensile tested against its declared breaking force before it ships.
