SECTION 1 - Wire Rope 24WirecoFlex-X ® 626Flex-X ® 19Exclusive Flex-X ® 19 construction gives you a smoothand extremely compact wire rope with more steel in thecross-section than ordinary ropes. The result is a higherstrength-to-diameter ratio, along with improved rope handling,operating and spooling characteristics. Flex-X 19reduces wear to sheaves and drums.Flex-X 19 is an incredibly stable single part hoist line. Itreduces problems caused by drum scrubbing, abrasion, fastline speeds, block twisting or birdcaging.Other benefits include:• 10% higher strength than comparable 6x19 EIP IWRC• Increased resistance to bending fatigue• Increased resistance to drum scrubbing and abrasion.• Increased resistance to crushing makes this an idealrope for multi-part hoists when rotation is a problem.• Rotation resistance.Most applications for wire rope are extremely demanding.Wire rope must resist crushing, bending fatigue andabrasion. For example, clamshell closing lines must resistbending fatigue and boom hoists are subject to pressuresthat cause crushing. Overhead hoists test the stability andstrength of a wire rope. All drum-related applicationsdemand a rope that will spool and operate smoothly anddependably.If you recognize these typical conditions, then Flex-X 6 isfor you. Flex-X 6 users receive superior performance andincreased service life in many applications compared to theropes they previously employed.When compared to conventional 6 strand ropes, Flex-X 6provides greater surface area and more steel per given diameter,which increases stability and strength. This results inlonger service life and less sheave and drum wear. It alsolowers your cost of operation.Minimum BreakingForceTons (2000 lbs)Approimate WeightPer FootLbsDiameterInches3/8 8.8 0.327/16 11.9 0.411/2 15.3 0.559/16 19.3 0.705/8 22.7 0.863/4 32.4 1.257/8 43.8 1.671 56.9 2.181-1/8 71.5 2.711-1/4 87.9 3.431-3/8 106 4.251-1/2 125 5.01Flex-X ® 19 - Class BrightDiameterInchesApprox.

Standard, lubricatedwire rope is used in the extrusion process. The gaps, or valleys,between the individual rope strands are impregnatedwith a sealing thermoplastic material. Valleys between thefinished ropes are also plastic filled, resulting in an encapsulatedwire rope.TUF-KOTE ® /PFV ®Rope is totally encapsulated inthermoplastic materialFOR MORE INFORMATION CONTACT OUR NEAREST BRANCH OFFICE
