8×31SW Line Contacted Wire Rope

Technical Specifications for 8×31SW Steel Wire Rope

The 8x31WS is a superior specification of line contact wire rope, designed to deliver maximum operational longevity in the most demanding elevator environments. Its advanced Warrington Seale (WS) strand, featuring a high count of 31 fine wires, provides exceptional flexibility.

This design excels at distributing and minimizing bending stresses as the rope continuously cycles over the traction sheave, resulting in a dramatically longer fatigue life compared to other 8-strand ropes. For building owners and maintenance professionals, this means fewer replacements, reduced downtime, and lower long-term cost of ownership for their most valuable assets.
