Wire cable in further designs

In addition to galvanized cables, we also offer bare cables, brass-plated cables, bronze cables and black-coloured cables. We also stock stainless steel wire cables in various thicknesses and materials, including the common AISI 316 / 1.4401, which is resistant to seawater. In addition to this, we also have stainless steel wire cables in AISI 304 / 1.4301, which has high corrosion resistance but is not resistant to intergranular corrosion, salt water or chlorinated water. For more demanding environments, we offer the material AISI 904L / 1.4539, which is resistant to chlorine and acids and is often used in biogas plants.

High-quality materials & safety-oriented technology

For us, quality starts with the raw material. That is why we only process high-quality materials such as galvanized and bright steel, stainless steel, brass-plated steel, bronze and spring steel with strengths of 300 to 3,000 N/mm² in our modern machinery. Our production relies on state-of-the-art, safety-oriented technologies that guarantee maximum precision and flawless workmanship. Every step is subject to strict quality controls to guarantee maximum safety and reliability. Other materials are available on request. We can therefore guarantee that your wire rope is durable, safe and flexible.

FAQs – frequently asked questions about wire ropes

We offer galvanized, bare, brass-plated, bronze and black-coloured ropes as well as stainless steel wire ropes in materials such as AISI 316 / 1.4401, AISI 304 / 1.4301 and AISI 904L / 1.4539 in various diameters, thicknesses and designs. Of course, we also develop special designs according to your specific requirements.

Our wire cables are made from high-quality materials such as galvanized and bare steel, stainless steel, brass-plated steel, bronze, iron and spring steel.

Wire ropes with a fiber core are particularly flexible and support the lubrication of the wires. They are ideal for applications where the wire rope is bent or in motion.

Wire ropes with a steel core offer increased strength and stability. The steel core serves as the core of the rope and helps it to maintain its shape and structure, especially under high loads. This makes these ropes ideal for applications that require high tensile strength and stability.

Our experienced team will be happy to advise you so that you can find the right wire rope for your specific requirements. Simply contact us for individual advice.
