Steel wire rope | 1x19 strand | A4 | DIN 3053
Are you looking for a reliable stainless steel wire rope for demanding environments? The 1x19 stainless steel wire rope in A4 (AISI 316) is designed for high strength, low elongation, and a long service life, even in corrosive and marine environments. The rigid 1x19 construction provides high stability and a straight, aesthetic result, making the wire rope ideal for installations where dimensional stability is crucial.
Applications
Ideal for cable railings, bracing wires, safety lines, and other installations where high strength and low flexibility are required in construction, architecture, industry, and marine environments. The rigid 1x19 construction provides minimal elongation and a stable result, making the installation both durable and visually appealing. Suitable for both professional installations and advanced projects where corrosion resistance and long service life are essential.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
What is the advantage of 1x19 construction compared to 7x7 or 7x19?
1x19 consists of 19 wires in a single strand, which results in a very rigid wire rope with minimal elongation. It is suitable for straight installations such as railings and bracing where dimensional stability is important. Unlike 7x7 and 7x19, it has significantly lower flexibility and is therefore not suitable for applications involving bends or moving parts.
Is A4 (AISI 316) sufficient for marine environments?
Yes, AISI 316 contains molybdenum, which provides high resistance to chlorides and salt water. It is the standard choice for marine environments and outdoor applications with high corrosion stress. For extreme environments (e.g., constant submersion or chemically aggressive environments), additional material choices or inspection may be required.
Can the wire rope be cut and mounted with standard fittings?
Yes, the wire rope can be cut using wire rope cutters or a cutting tool intended for stainless steel wire to prevent fraying. It is compatible with swage sleeves, terminals, and other fittings designed for 1x19 construction. For best results, A4 (AISI 316) fittings are recommended to maintain corrosion resistance throughout the system.
