1×7 – high-quality wire rope for a wide range of applications

1×7 construction wire ropes consist of a single strand with seven wires and are characterized by their high tensile strength and extremely low elongation. Their rigidity makes them suitable for straight, non-moving tensioning applications, such as standing rigging on sailing boats, railing infills or in architectural constructions. The dimensionally stable ropes are also used in the industrial sector and in event technology. In addition to the functional properties and advantages, there is also something for the eye: thanks to the small number of wires, 1×7 has a clear and discreet appearance and is aesthetically pleasing.

Designation: The construction 1×7 stands for a wire rope/strand consisting of 7 wires.

Properties: Steel wire ropes of this type ensure high tensile strength and very low flexibility & elongation – ideal for straight pulling applications and guying.

Application: This wire rope construction is used for bracing, for example.

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 1×7 construction as a coated wire rope and/or with end fittings according to customer requirements.

Tensile strength, stiff & aesthetic – 1×7 steel wire rope for numerous applications

  • Industry: The 1×7 wire rope can be used as a tensioning, pulling or holding element, for example in conveyor technology or mechanical engineering.
  • Event technology: It is used for the secure suspension of lighting and sound equipment and impresses with its high rigidity.
  • Sport: In ropes courses, net constructions or as a safety element, the construction ensures stability and safety with low elongation.
  • Architecture: The steel wire rope is ideal for suspension bridges, railing fillings or façade elements and wherever reliable rope tension is required.
  • Art and design: The rope can also be used in installations and design concepts to perfectly combine function and aesthetics.

Suitable end fittings for your wire rope

The description of the areas of application makes it clear: 1×7 wire ropes are the right choice for many applications. However, to ensure that everything works properly and without problems, end fittings are usually required. We have various products in stock here: clamps, shackles, sleeves, thimbles, eyelets and many more. With the help of these practical and essential extensions, ropes can be attached to designated points to fasten or transport loads or to fix struts.

FAQs – 1×7 steel wire ropes

1×7 consists of seven wires, is particularly stiff and tensile and therefore ideal for straight tensioning ropes and applications without movement. 1×19 consists of 19 thinner wires, is slightly more flexible and is therefore more suitable for light deflections or moving applications. The choice therefore depends on whether more rigidity or flexibility is required. We would be happy to advise you personally – get in touch with us.

Yes, we offer 1×7 in both galvanized steel and stainless steel – depending on the requirements for corrosion resistance and environmental influences.

We stock 1×7 construction wire ropes in various diameters. You can find exact details in the table on this page or directly on request. Thanks to our stock, we can supply many sizes at short notice.
