7/16″ 6×37 Wire Rope Cable | Bright Steel

This 7/16″ bright steel wire rope is manufactured from Extra Improved Plow Steel (EIPS) and features a flexible 6×37 class construction. Designed for applications requiring repeated bending and movement, this wire rope is commonly used for hoisting, suspension systems, winch lines, lifting equipment, and general rigging applications where flexibility and fatigue resistance are critical.

Flexible Wire Rope for Hoisting, Rigging & Winch Applications

The 6×37 class is known for its superior flexibility and ability to withstand repeated bending cycles without failure. Compared to a 6×19 construction, 6×37 wire rope offers greater fatigue resistance and easier handling, making it ideal for applications involving sheaves, pulleys, and frequent movement.

While it sacrifices some abrasion resistance compared to a 6×19 wire rope, its enhanced flexibility often results in longer service life in dynamic lifting and rigging systems.

6×37 Wire Rope Configuration

Our wire rope is manufactured using EIPS-grade steel. EIPS (Extra Improved Plow Steel) provides approximately 10% greater tensile strength than standard IPS-grade wire rope, resulting in improved breaking strength and dependable performance under heavy loads.

The class of this wire rope is 6×37. These numbers nominally refer to the rope construction, consisting of six outer strands surrounding the core, with approximately 27-49 wires making up each strand. The actual construction supplied is 6×36, which falls within the 6×37 classification and delivers the same flexibility and fatigue-resistant performance expected from this class of wire rope.

Bright Finish & IWRC Construction

This rope features a bright steel finish protected with A-1 petroleum-based lubricant applied to both internal and external wires. The lubricant helps reduce friction, minimize internal wear, and provide basic protection against moisture and corrosion.

The Independent Wire Rope Core (IWRC) provides greater support than fiber core constructions. IWRC wire rope offers superior crush resistance, improved load stability, and dependable operation in temperatures ranging from -40F to 400F.

Wire Rope by the Foot Ordering FAQ

Will my wire rope arrive as one continuous length?
Yes. The quantity you order will be supplied as one continuous, uncut length of wire rope. For example, if you order a quantity of 1,000, you will receive a single 1,000-foot length.

Can I order multiple separate lengths?
Yes. To receive multiple lengths, add each length to your cart as a separate line item. For example, if you need two 1,500-foot lengths, enter a quantity of 1,500 and add it to your cart twice. Each line item will be cut and supplied as a separate length.

Can I order lengths shorter than the minimum order quantity if the combined total exceeds the minimum?
Yes. If your combined order will exceed the minimum quantity requirement but you need shorter individual lengths, please call our team to place your order. One of our product experts will be happy to assist.
