Performance Characteristics:

Strength: The line - contact Warrington construction disperses stress more uniformly. Under the identical diameter and strength level, it enjoys higher actual load - bearing capacity and fatigue resistance compared to the 6×7 construction. Yet, with a fiber core, its strength is less than that of the same - construction wire rope having a metal core.

Flexibility: The core is flexible in the fiber, and therefore it is apt for use in applications that demand frequent bending.

Wear Resistance: The line-contact structure results in more uniform wear when in contact with pulleys and drums and hence has better wear-resistance than the point-contact 6×7 structure.

Application Characteristics: Appropriate for applications calling for good flexibility and some level of fatigue resistance, i.e., certain elevator hoisting ropes and lifting equipment with elevated demands for bending performance.
