1×19 – high-quality wire rope for railings, industry & more

Are you looking for a wire rope with high tensile strength and clear lines? We can recommend the tried-and-tested 1×19 construction. With its extremely low elongation and pronounced rigidity, it is ideal for straight tensioning systems, railings or technical bracing. We can supply you with 1×19 wire ropes made of galvanized steel or stainless steel in various diameters. We can cut the ropes to size on request.

Designation: The construction 1×19 stands for a wire rope/strand consisting of 19 wires.

Properties: A wire rope of this construction is very strong, not very flexible and has low elongation.

Application: This wire rope construction is used, for example, for bracing or for railings and handrails.

Material: We manufacture the rope from high-quality galvanized steel and stainless steel.

Versions at Hamburger Drahtseilerei: In addition to our galvanized and stainless steel versions, we offer the 1×19 design with coating and/or end fittings.

Stainless steel cable for railings

1×19 construction cables are characterized by their high tensile strength and particularly smooth surface, making them suitable for both delicate designs and robust tensioning systems, e.g. for gaps in railings or (suspended) bridges. The rope construction has an elegant appearance, has excellent corrosion resistance thanks to stainless steel and remains very dimensionally stable even under heavy use and various weather conditions.  We stock 1×19 railing ropes in diameters from 1 mm to 10 mm.

Reliable end fittings for 1×19 wire ropes

To ensure that your 1×19 wire rope can be used safely, it is not just the rope construction that is important, but also the right end fittings. Whether for load-bearing, fastening or stabilization – the right accessories are crucial. We have a wide range available: from thimbles and sleeves to eyelets, clamps and shackles. These components enable professional installation and increase the safety and functionality of your rope. In this way, steel wire ropes can be integrated precisely and reliably into your application.

Wire ropes in various constructions – flexible & available at short notice

In addition to 1×19 ropes, we also stock a large selection of wire rope constructions, such as 1×7, 6×19+WSC or 6×19S+FC, by the meter, which we can deliver to you quickly in various diameters, materials and qualities. On request, we can cut your rope directly to the required length.

FAQs – 1×19 steel wire ropes

Both variants consist of individual wires, but differ in their structure and properties. A 1×7 rope consists of seven comparatively strong wires and is therefore particularly rigid and tensile – perfect for straight runs without movement. The 1×19 construction is made up of 19 finer wires, which makes it somewhat more flexible and more suitable for light deflections or dynamic applications. We will be happy to advise you on choosing the right rope.

Yes, we stock 1×19 wire ropes in both galvanized steel and high-quality stainless steel. The choice of material depends primarily on whether the rope is exposed to moisture, weather or other corrosive conditions.

Yes, we manufacture customized rope solutions on request, including suitable end connections. This saves you time during assembly and you receive a completely ready-to-install product. Please contact us for a non-binding offer.
