Overview
Plastic coated steel wire rope combines a steel rope with a polymer jacket. Specify the nominal steel-rope diameter separately from the finished coated outside diameter, together with construction, core, lay and strength requirements. State the required polymer, colour and coating thickness for confirmation in the quotation; a PVC label alone does not define the complete rope.
Match replacement rope to the complete equipment specification, including construction, core, lay and lubrication. Diameter alone is insufficient. The equipment maker or responsible engineer must select the load basis, safety factors and retirement criteria. Provide termination drawings and identify sheave, drum or guide interfaces where relevant. Agree rope identification, measured-length records and reel handling before ordering. State document and inspection requirements in the RFQ so they can be confirmed against the exact rope specification.
Product scope
- Construction, core and lay are separate order requirements.
- Minimum breaking force does not itself establish the permitted working load.
- Specify termination design and reel handling before order confirmation.
