6×37+FC – flexible wire rope with fiber core for demanding applications
The 6×37+FC wire rope design stands for maximum flexibility and smooth running under dynamic loads. Due to its fine-stranded construction and integrated fiber core, this design is particularly suitable for applications involving frequent bending cycles, such as in lifting and conveyor technology. In addition, 6×37+FC impresses with its reliability and long service life. At Hamburger Drahtseilerei, you can obtain this construction in tested quality and in a design that suits your area of application.
Designation: The 6×37+FC design describes a wire rope with six strands, each consisting of 37 fine wires. Inside is a fiber core (FC = Fiber Core).

Properties: Thanks to the high number of fine individual wires, 6×37+FC is particularly flexible and smooth-running. The fiber insert supports even load distribution and reduces internal wear during dynamic use.
Application: For applications involving deflections, drum operation, and frequent bending changes. The design is particularly suitable for moving rope systems with even loads.
Material: Available in galvanized for use in industrial environments and for outdoor applications with normal weather conditions (avoid extremely corrosive conditions).
Versions at Hamburger Drahtseilerei: We supply the rope in the 6×37+FC version as a high-quality steel rope in a galvanized version, also with coating and/or custom-made end fittings on request.

For multiple deflection & alternating loads – areas of application for 6×37+FC
The right end connection for your wire rope
Lifting, transporting, pulling – in most cases, an end connection is required to ensure that dynamic applications function properly and safely. That is why we offer individually tailored end connections for the 6×37+FC design for a wide range of applications. Depending on the area of application, clamps, hooks, thimbles, eyelets, or other connecting elements are used. With our ready-made solutions, you can optimally integrate your wire rope and use it reliably.


Also with fiber core – when is 6x19S+FC the better choice?
In addition to 6×37+FC, we also offer the 6×19S+FC construction with fiber core. This version offers slightly less flexibility, but is more dimensionally stable and more robust against lateral loads. The 6×19S+FC design is particularly suitable for applications with lower deflection but higher static requirements, for example as a manure removal rope in agriculture. We would be happy to advise you on which design is best suited to your area of application.
