The steel wire rope is a helical steel wire bundle that is twisted together according to certain rules of steel wires with mechanical properties and geometric dimensions that meet the requirements.

There are three basic elements of which wire ropes are composed: wire filaments, strands,and cores.

We make wire rope by taking the filaments, twisting or braiding them together into strands, and then helically winding them around a core. Because of this multiple strand configuration, wire rope is also often referred to as stranded wire.

The first component, the filaments, are cold drawn rods of metal materials of varying, but relatively small diameter. 

The second component, the strands, can individually consist of as few as two or as many as several dozen filaments. 

The last component, the core, is the central element around which strands are wrapped;

The main function of the rope core is to support the steel wire rope to achieve a stable cross-sectional structure. The rope core includes a steel core and a fiber core, and the fiber core includes a natural fiber core and a synthetic fiber core.

The wire rope needs to bear the action of alternating load during the use process, and its use performance is mainly determined by the mechanical properties of the steel wire, the surface condition of the steel wire and the structure of the steel wire rope.
