Steel Inner Wire Cable Inner Tube Rope 2mm For Motorcycle Cables

Here are some key things to know about steel inner wire rope:

• Construction: Steel inner wire rope consists of 6-37 inner steel wires wrapped in a helix formation inside an outer layer, usually made of polypropylene or another synthetic material.

• Strength: The steel inner core provides the vast majority of the rope's breaking strength. It allows the rope to withstand high tensile loads.

• Flexibility: The steel construction makes the rope strong yet still flexible enough to be spooled, bent and maneuvered around obstacles.

• Corrosion resistance: The exterior sheath protects the steel wires from corrosion in wet or outdoor environments better than an open-spiral rope.

• Abrasion resistance: The outer layer shelters the inner wires, improving the rope's durability against wear compared to an open spiral design.

• Applications: Common uses include tugging and towing, lifting and rigging heavy loads, mooring of boats and barges, suspended tree stands, chain link fencing, and other tasks requiring durable load-bearing ability.

• Inspection: Periodically inspect the outer sheath for cuts or cracks that could expose wires to damage. Check for rust, kinks, broken wires or core. Retire ropes showing extreme wear.

• Maintenance: Keep ropes clean and dry when possible. Lubricants can help in wet conditions but may soften outer layer over time.
