Products Description
If you are looking for a stainless steel wire rope that offers structural stability, a smooth surface, and excellent tensile strength, the 1x19 stainless steel wire rope is a highly recommended option. It is manufactured by twisting 19 stainless steel wires in a "1+6+12" configuration in a single pass, resulting in a single-strand, hard-lay wire rope that is compact and resistant to deformation. It is widely used in applications such as architectural cables, guardrail cables, bridge suspension cables, and landscape engineering projects.

Key Features of the 1x19 Construction
Minimal elongation
The tightly twisted strands result in minimal elongation under load, making it ideal for cable systems requiring dimensional stability (such as glass railing cables).
High Tensile Strength
For the same diameter, the 1x19 configuration typically offers higher tensile strength than 7x7 or 7x19 constructions.
Smooth, Rounded Surface
The uniformly arranged outer wires do not snag on objects, providing a smooth feel and a clean visual appearance.
Good Wear Resistance
The compact, tight structure makes it more resistant to wear when running through sleeves or fixed pulleys (though frequent bending is still not recommended).
Selected diameter parameters
| Diameter (mm) | Breaking strength (kN) - 304 | Weight (kg/100 m) |
|---|---|---|
| 2.0 | 2.45 | 1.52 |
| 3.0 | 5.50 | 3.42 |
| 4.0 | 9.78 | 6.08 |
| 5.0 | 15.30 | 9.50 |
| 6.0 | 22.00 | 13.68 |
| 8.0 | 39.20 | 24.32 |
| 10.0 | 61.25 | 38.00 |
| 12.0 | 88.20 | 54.72 |
The above values are for reference only; actual performance is subject to the factory test report. Special strength grades are available upon request.
Typical Applications
Architectural and Structural Cables
Curtain wall cables, point-supported glass railings, stair railings, bridge stays, suspension structures, etc., which both bear tensile loads and serve a decorative purpose.
01
Landscape and Garden Engineering
Tree support lines, vine guide ropes, handrail ropes for landscape bridges, trellis guy wires, etc., which combine strength with natural aesthetics.
02
Marine and General Port Areas
Suitable for mooring lines and guardrail ropes in inland lakes, rivers, or non-high-salt-fog environments (regular inspections are recommended in high-salt seawater environments).
03
Agriculture and Livestock Farming
Greenhouse struts, livestock fencing, grapevine trellis lines, fruit tree supports, etc., offering excellent weather resistance and reducing maintenance frequency.
04
Industrial and Equipment Applications
Lifting slings, tension cables, safety lanyards, equipment tie-downs, and more. Suitable for tension-bearing structures that are not frequently bent.
05
Precautions
- Avoid repeated bending: 1x19 wire ropes have poor flexibility and are not suitable for pulley systems or applications involving frequent bending. If bending is required, consider using 7x7 or 7x19 constructions.
- Pay Attention to End Fixation Methods: We recommend using press-fit sleeves, cast splices, or wedge-type connectors to avoid localized breakage caused by stress concentration from conventional rope clamps.
- Regular Inspection: While 304 stainless steel offers good corrosion resistance under normal conditions, we still recommend regular inspection for rust spots or wear in high-salt, high-humidity, or acidic/alkaline environments.
