High-Flexibility Steel Wire Rope for Elevator Traction & Lift Systems
The Flexible Steel Rope for Elevators is a premium steel wire rope specifically designed for elevator traction systems that require outstanding flexibility, smooth operation, and long-term reliability. Manufactured from high-quality high-carbon steel with advanced stranding technology, this rope offers exceptional bending performance, low elongation, excellent fatigue resistance, and stable traction, ensuring safe and comfortable vertical transportation.
Suitable for passenger elevators, freight elevators, residential lifts, and commercial building elevator systems, this rope is engineered to provide consistent performance under continuous operating conditions while minimizing maintenance requirements.
Product Features
Exceptional Flexibility
Designed for repeated bending over traction sheaves, the rope offers:
Excellent bending performance
Reduced internal wire stress
Smooth operation
Lower vibration and noise
Enhanced ride comfort
Longer service life
Its flexible construction minimizes wear on both the rope and traction sheaves.
High Tensile Strength
Manufactured from premium high-carbon steel with nominal tensile grades of:
1370 MPa
1570 MPa
1770 MPa
1960 MPa
to meet the requirements of various elevator systems.
Superior Fatigue Resistance
Optimized strand geometry allows the rope to withstand millions of bending cycles while maintaining structural integrity and reliable traction performance.
Stable Traction Performance
Precision manufacturing ensures:
Uniform rope diameter
Excellent roundness
Consistent traction
Accurate floor leveling
Reduced traction sheave wear
Low Elongation
Excellent dimensional stability minimizes rope stretch during service, improving elevator leveling accuracy and reducing maintenance frequency.
Multiple Core Options
Available with:
Fiber Core (FC) – Superior flexibility and quiet operation.
Sisal Fiber Core (SFC) – Excellent lubrication retention and vibration absorption.
Independent Wire Rope Core (IWRC) – Higher strength and enhanced dimensional stability.
Corrosion Protection Options
Available with:
Bright (Ungalvanized)
Electro Galvanized
Customized elevator-grade lubrication is available to reduce friction and extend rope life.
