Flex-X 19, a Category 2 rotation resistant rope, is made from 19 strands. Six strands are laid around a core strand in one direction, and then 12 strands are laid around this first operation in the opposite direction. Because of its tightly compacted smooth design, Flex-X 19 offers more crushing resistance than standard 19 x 7 rope, higher strength- to-diameter, resistance to bending fatigue, exceptional stability, reduced wear to sheaves and drums, and improved handling, operating and spooling characteristics. Flex-X 19 has also demonstrated greater fatigue resistance to substantially cut rope expense and extend service life. Its ideal for multipart hoist lines wherever you encounter spooling problems, drum crushing, block twisting or have fast line speeds.

Flex-X 9 features compacted strands and swaging for extra drum crushing resistance and increased stability. Its high density strands deliver extra strength and resistance to abrasion. Flex-X 9 is manufactured with a dual compaction process to produce a compact cross-section with minimum voids and greater surface area on outer wires that contact drums, sheaves and the rope, itself during operation. The high-density compacted strands minimize nicking at strand-to-strand contact points. Flex-X 9 was specifically designed for boom hoist applications and tubing line applications where drum crushing is a challenge.Weight(lbft)

In an application where a single-part hoist rope is used to lift a free load or where rotation-resistant properties are essential for rope performance the 19x7 can be used. Its rotation-resistant characteristic is achieved by laying six strands around a core strand in one direction, then laying 12 strands around the first operation in the opposite direction. When the rope is in tension, opposing rotational forces are created between the inner and outer layers. Frequent and regular inspection for broken wires is critical when using rotation resistant rope.

The 6x19 classification of wire ropes includes standard 6 strand, round strand ropes with 16 through 26 wires per strand. This is a good rope to withstand abrasion or crushing on the drum. Ropes with independent wire rope strands and a core (IWRC) in general, are more crush resistant than fiber core ropes. When you purchase Unions 6x19 Class of wire ropes, you get more than just another rope. Manufactured in an ISO 9001 certified factory and backed by the industrys largest staff of professional engineers, we do more than meet published specifications. Our quality begins with our raw material qualification process. All of our suppliers must meet rod standards that are more stringent than industry standards. We then track the rod coils though the manufacturing process for full traceability. And we dont stop there; the tracking continues into the field as each schedule is tracked to the customer. In addition to tracking, throughout the manufacturing process we break test wires and tie that information to the coil andor reel of rope. Through these actions, we know the characteristics of the rope from its infancy and know who purchased it when it was completed. This peace of mind is what you should expect from the leader.

The 6x26 WS has better resistance to abrasion than a 6x25FW. It features a compact construction with solid support for the wires; therefore it has a high resistance to crushing. Its number and relative size of the inner wires add to the stability of the strand and gives it a fatigue resistance comparable to a 6x25 FW. A standard 6X26 WS construction provides the best rope for a wide range of applications. In general, we recommend the use of the 6x26WS in any application where a 6x25FW is used.

Good resistance to wear and fatigue are required for trip ropes on mining shovels. 7-Flex and 7-Flex PFV have the best characteristics to maximize rope service life in this application. The 7-Flex construction offers improved resistance to bending fatigue and the PFV plastic-impregnated feature further enhances service life and make the operation cleaner. Weight(lbft)

When you purchase Unions 8x19 Class of wire ropes, you get more than what meets the eye. Built in an ISO 9001 certified factory and backed by the industrys largest staff of professional engineers, we do more than produce to spec. Our quality begins with our raw material qualification process which suppliers must meet standards that are more stringent than industry. We then document rod coils though completion rope manufacturing for full traceably. We dont stop there; the traceability continues into the field as each schedule is tracked to the customer. Throughout the manufacturing process we break test wires and tie that information to the coil andor reel of rope. Thus ensuring we know the characteristics of the rope from its infancy and know it meets or exceeds our published strengths. Standard constructions are regular lay and either 19 Seale or 25 Filler Wire. The size relationship between strands and cores gives these ropes increased bendability over six strand ropes of the same diameter. The 8x19 has more crushing resistance and a higher minimum breaking force than 19x7, but less rotation resistance. An 8x19 class rope can be used in multi-part reeving where limited rotation resistance is required. You can trust Union wire rope to be produced to a higher standard, consistently. For the rope characteristics, please refer to the chart below.Weight(lbft) Minimum Breaking Force(tons of 2000 lbs516

The size relationship between strands and cores gives these ropes increased bendability over six strand ropes of the same diameter. 8x25 has more fatigue resistance than an 8x19 rope.

Also called triangular strand, flattened strand ropes perform exceptionally well on certain installations, especially those involving heavy loads where the speed of operation is slow, where adequate diameter sheaves and drums are used, or where a crush resistant rope is required. Their distinguishing physical feature is their relatively flat exposed surfaces of strands. As a result, the rope exterior is more nearly a smooth, continuous circle than that of regular round strand wire rope. Flattened strand ropes are made with two layers of 12 wires around a triangular-shaped center. We offer a 6x30 Style G using a six-wire center as the standard construction.

The latest high performance rotation-resistant rope designed and manufactured by CASAR Germany, a member of WireCo WorldGroup. Starlift Xtra, the new high performance rotation resistant rope, replaces Union`s Flex-X 35 product line, and meets the highest Minimum Breaking Forces requested in the crane rope market. Starlift Xtra provides the user unique characteristics as a hoist rope. The following information outlines the crucial operating characteristics and discusses why Starlift Xtra is the rope of choice in many applications. StrengthStarlift Xtra is the strongest of all ropes in the high performance rotation-resistant product line. The following chart shows the superior values of Starlift Xtra.

lex-X 7 CC - a crane rope that guarantees a lift in productivity. Flex-X 7 CC extended duty crane and hoist rope is designed and manufactured primarily for the container crane industry where repetitive, continuous operations is required. Since its debut, additional research and extensive testing have shown that Flex-X 7 CC delivers the same exceptional fatigue resistance and service life to other applications where bending fatigue is a problem. Already a preferred rope for container cranes, Flex-X 7 CC is now providing extended service life in carriage operations and other applications where multi-sheave equipment and rigorous duty cycles induce fatigue stresses. Almost any application currently using a 6x36 construction can gain an increase in service life with Flex-X 7 CC.Weight(lbft)

Flex-X 6 users receive superior performance and increased service life in many applications compared to the ropes they had previously employed. When compared to conventional six strand ropes, Flex-X 6 ropes provide greater surface area and more steel per given diameter. This increases rope stability and strength. This results in a longer service life and less sheave and drum wear. Flex-X vs. standard rope of similar construction: Flex-X designs reduce drum scrubbing between the lead line and the previous wrap. The smooth contact creates less interference, less metal loss and wire deformation. The increased surface area of Flex-X can be seen in the comparison of the contact points of a standard 6x26WS and Flex-X as shown.Weight(lbft)
