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.

6×37+FC wire rope construction – your advantages at a glance

  • Suitable for dynamic applications with high bending stress
  • Highly flexible construction thanks to 37 wires per strand
  • Available with fiber insert for smooth running
  • Available in galvanized version
  • Also available by the meter
  • Ideal for customized special solutions
  • Tested quality to guarantee safety

For multiple deflection & alternating loads – areas of application for 6×37+FC

  • Lifting technology: crane ropes, winch ropes, hoisting ropes, trolley ropes, grabs

  • Conveyor technology: deflection and traction ropes, scrapers

  • Machine and plant engineering: moving rope systems, drive solutions

  • Stage and event technology: dynamic lifting and pulling applications

  • Construction and extraction: excavators, cranes, anchor ropes

  • Agriculture and forestry: pulling and guy ropes

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.

Hamburger Drahtseilerei – we are here for you

We have numerous wire rope constructions in various diameters available for you by the meter directly from stock, so that we can cut your rope to size and deliver it at very short notice. As an experienced specialist in wire ropes, we provide you with reliable support from selection to individual assembly. Benefit from certified quality, fast delivery, and personal advice. Please feel free to call us or write to us if you require further information.

FAQs – 6×37+FC steel cables

The biggest advantage is its very high flexibility. Thanks to its many fine wires and fiber core, 6×37+FC is ideal for dynamic applications with frequent bending changes and drum operation.

The galvanized version of the cable can be used outdoors, provided that the conditions are not extremely corrosive. We would be happy to advise you on alternatives for particularly demanding environments.
