EN 12385-4 Class 8×19S-IWRC Steel Wire Rope – 8-Strand Seale Construction with IWRC

This EN 12385-4 compliant rope features an 8-strand Seale construction (8×19S: 1+9+9) with an independent wire rope core (IWRC). The eight-strand layout enhances stability on drums and sheaves, reduces internal friction, and improves fatigue resistance compared to 6-strand counterparts. Each strand’s dual-layer wire arrangement balances outer durability with inner flexibility, while the IWRC core provides structural support under heavy loads.

Offered in diameters from 8 mm to 60 mm, it achieves tensile strengths up to 2160 MPa and breaking forces up to 2770 kN. It is commonly specified for offshore lifting, heavy-duty cranes, and high-cycle industrial applications where rope longevity and operational safety are paramount.
