6×19-WSC(Zn)- 3.6 Gantry Cranes
The following is an introduction to the 6×19 - WSC (galvanized) wire rope used in gantry cranes:
Structural Characteristics
● Strand Composition: "6×19" indicates that the wire rope consists of 6 strands, with each strand containing 19 wires. This structure endows the wire rope with good strength and flexibility, enabling it to withstand certain tensile forces and bending.
● Core Material: "WSC" represents the wire strand core. Compared with fiber cores, the wire strand core can provide higher strength and crush resistance for the wire rope, making it suitable for the high requirements of wire ropes in the frequent lifting and braking operations of gantry cranes.
● Galvanizing Treatment: A zinc layer is formed on the surface of the steel wire through hot - dip galvanizing or electrogalvanizing processes. This can effectively prevent the steel wire from rusting and corroding, prolonging the service life of the wire rope, especially suitable for the outdoor working environment of gantry cranes.
Performance Characteristics
● High Strength: The structural configuration of 6 strands and 19 wires gives it a high breaking tensile force, which can meet the strength requirements of wire ropes when gantry cranes lift heavy objects.
● Good Wear Resistance: When the outer steel wires come into contact and friction with components such as pulleys and drums, they can resist wear by virtue of their own structure and the protection of the galvanized layer, reducing the wear of the steel wires and the risk of wire breakage.
● Strong Corrosion Resistance: The galvanized layer, as a protective barrier, can prevent oxygen, moisture and other corrosive media in the air from coming into contact with the steel wire, enhancing the corrosion resistance of the wire rope in harsh environments.
● Good Flexibility: While having high strength, the 6×19 structure also imparts a certain degree of flexibility to the wire rope, allowing it to wind and unwind smoothly on the drums and pulleys of gantry cranes, reducing operational inconvenience and damage to equipment caused by excessive rigidity.
Specification Dimensions
Common diameter specifications include 6.2mm, 7.7mm, 9.3mm, 11mm, 12.5mm, 14mm, 15.5mm, 18.5mm, 24.5mm, 26mm, 28mm, etc.
Application Scenarios
It is mainly used in various gantry crane equipment, such as port gantry cranes and gantry cranes in construction sites, undertaking lifting, traction, suspension and other operation tasks, providing key load - bearing and transmission functions for the safe and stable operation of gantry cranes.
