7×7 stainless steel cable – quality for numerous applications

A 7×7 stainless steel cable combines flexibility and high strength and can be easily guided over deflections or rollers. Thanks to its combination of elasticity, dimensional stability, and corrosion resistance, the design is versatile and ideal for maritime applications as well as in industry, forestry, and agriculture. Thanks to high-quality stainless steel, our ropes are very durable and also perfect for applications that require an attractive appearance. Interested in our multifunctional wire rope? Feel free to contact us!

Designation: The 7×7 construction stands for a wire rope with 7 strands, each consisting of 7 wires.

Properties: The 7×7 construction offers an ideal balance between tensile strength and flexibility, enabling good bendability combined with high stability and low elongation.

Application: The rope is ideal for movable structures and visually appealing applications with slight movement. Examples: Railings, facades, lifting systems, rope pulls, balustrades, maritime applications.

Surface: 7×7 stainless steel ropes have a fine, uniform surface. It is visually appealing, easy to maintain, and corrosion-resistant.

Versions at Hamburger Drahtseilerei: We manufacture 7×7 ropes from materials such as 1.4401, 1.4529, or 1.4462, coated on request, or with customized end connections. Each wire rope is tested to the highest quality standards and is also available by the meter at short notice.

7×7 stainless steel cable for architectural, outdoor, and maritime applications

The design combines aesthetic elegance with high technical load-bearing capacity and resistance to moisture, UV radiation, temperature fluctuations, and mild acids, meaning that there is almost no area in which the wire ropes cannot be used. Depending on the location of use, materials such as 1.4301, 1.4401, or, for particularly aggressive environments, 1.4529 and 1.4462 (duplex stainless steel). Among other things, 7×7 ropes can be used in the following areas:

  • Modern architecture: railings, facades, stairs, partition walls

  • Outdoor areas, gardening, and landscaping: pergolas, bridges, climbing aids

  • Shipping & boating: railings, standing rigging, tensioning systems

  • Fitness & sports equipment: cable pulls, training machines, climbing facilities

  • Forestry & agriculture: guy wires for masts, pasture fences, lifting devices

  • Crafts & industry: suspension of lights, safety devices, exhibition displays

Sheathed, assembled, made to measure

We offer more than just standard designs. At Hamburger Drahtseilerei, we manufacture 7×7 stainless steel ropes individually according to your specifications. You can choose the diameter, length, material, sheathing, and the appropriate end connections such as hooks, thimbles, terminals, or clamps.

If you would prefer a 1×7, 1×19, 7×19 rope or another design, please feel free to contact us. We will advise you personally and prepare an individual quote.

FAQs – 7×7 stainless steel cables

Since a 7×7 cable has significantly more strands and therefore wires than a 1×7 cable, it is much more pliable and flexible and can be guided better over rollers or deflections without losing strength. A 1×7 stainless steel rope, on the other hand, consists of a strand with seven wires, making it very stiff and dimensionally stable and perfect for applications where the rope does not move or moves only very slightly.

Depending on the environment and load, we offer 7×7 stainless steel ropes made of 1.4401, 1.4462, or 1.4529. The different materials vary in their corrosion resistance and suitability for specific conditions of use.

Of course. We manufacture your rope to measure, including custom end connections, tailored to your project. We can manufacture a single piece for you or produce in series. Please feel free to contact us with your request.
