6×19+WSC – high-quality wire rope in the 7×19 construction

Wire ropes in the 6×19+WSC construction are among the most versatile and widely used rope types – whether in industry, agriculture or fitness facilities. They combine flexibility and strength, making them ideal for numerous applications. The designation 6×19+WSC describes a rope with six strands and an additional steel core, which technically corresponds to the widely used 7×19 construction. On this page you can find out more about our designs, areas of application and assembly options.

Designation: The construction 6×19+WSC stands for a wire rope with 6 strands, each consisting of 19 wires, supplemented by a steel core (WSC = Wire Strand Core).

Properties: Steel wire ropes of this type ensure a balanced combination of tensile strength and flexibility – ideal for dynamic applications with frequent bending cycles.

Application: The wire rope construction is ideal for use in fitness equipment, as a coated manure removal rope, in stage construction, as a rope guide in machine and plant construction or as a black wire rope for decorative and technical purposes.

Material: We manufacture the rope from high-quality galvanized or bright steel; a stainless steel version is also available on request.

Versions at Hamburger Drahtseilerei: In addition to our ungalvanized wire ropes, we offer the 6×19+WSC construction as a coated rope, as a blackened wire rope or specially made to customer specifications.

Fitness rope – flexible and durable

For use in fitness equipment such as pulley machines, we offer high-quality 6×19+WSC construction wire ropes, which are characterized by their optimal balance of flexibility and strength. Our ropes are specially coated with a black polyamide cover, which makes them particularly resistant to abrasion, moisture and dirt. A coating not only increases durability and safety, but also ensures a pleasantly non-slip surface during intensive use.

Manure removal rope – sturdy rope with coating

For applications with sheathed manure removal ropes, we use galvanized steel in the 6×19+WSC construction, combined with a robust polypropylene sheath. The WSC construction with steel core ensures greater strength and dimensional stability – particularly important for long runs and high tensile loads. The sheathing also protects against moisture, dirt and abrasion, thus extending the service life of the rope.

By the way: We also offer coated manure removal ropes in the constructions 6×7+WSC (3-6 mm diameter) for lower loads and 6×36+WSC (8-12 mm diameter) for particularly high loads with large deflection diameters and long conveying distances. If you require a rope without a cover, we recommend a 6x19S+FC wire rope. Please contact us for individual advice.

Black wire rope – elegant and tensile strength

Our black wire ropes in the 6×19+WSC construction made of galvanized steel combine high load-bearing capacity with flexibility and are ideal for applications in the event and function sector. They are particularly suitable for lifting, fastening or tensioning stage sets, lighting or sound equipment. The black surface not only ensures a reflection-free appearance, but also offers additional protection against abrasion and moisture. With diameters of 3-8 mm and the option of delivery by the meter, our ropes can be optimally adapted to your individual requirements.

By the way: We also offer black wire ropes in the construction 6×7+WSC (1-4 mm diameter) for lower loads.

Suitable end fittings for the wire rope

In addition to high-quality wire ropes, end fittings are also required in most cases to ensure that the traction machine in the gym works perfectly or the stage set in the musical or theater can be changed quickly and easily. They enable ropes to be hooked or attached to designated points in order to transport loads from A to B without any problems. We have various products in stock for this purpose: shackles, sleeves, thimbles, eyelets and many more.

In stock – various constructions by the meter

We have a large selection of wire ropes by the meter and in stock for you – including the 6×19+WSC construction and many other variants. This gives you flexibility if you need new or additional products at short notice.

FAQs – 7×19 Steel cable

Technically speaking, they are the same construction: six strands with 19 wires each, supplemented by an additional steel core, which is also designed as a strand. This results in a seventh strand, which is why the term 7×19 is also commonly used. The designation 6×19+WSC is particularly common in the technical trade, while 7×19 is used more frequently in the fitness or leisure sector.

The construction offers a balanced combination of flexibility and tensile strength. This makes the rope particularly suitable for applications with frequent deflections or bending changes.

WSC stands for Wire Strand Core, i.e. a steel fiber core. This core improves the strength and dimensional stability of the rope compared to a fiber core and makes the rope less sensitive to deformation and external influences.

We offer the ropes in galvanized and bright steel as well as in stainless steel. The choice of material depends on the area of application and the environmental conditions.

Yes, we also offer these ropes with a plastic coating. This protects the wire rope from external influences and thus extends its service life.
