Product Overview


The 18×7+FC Non-rotating Rope features a revolutionary construction: two or more layers of counter-laid strands arranged in opposing torque formation, paired with a high-quality fibre core (FC). This design eliminates load spinning during hoisting—an essential advantage for tasks where positional accuracy and safety are non-negotiable.

Compliant with international standards including GB/T20118-2017, DIN/EN/ISO, and JISG/BS, the rope ensures compatibility with global equipment and operational protocols. It is available in diameters ranging from 6 mm to 20 mm, catering to light to heavy-duty lifting needs, and offers two tensile strength grades: 1770 MPa and 2070 MPa. The fibre core wire rope design reduces overall weight while enhancing flexibility, making it easy to handle without sacrificing structural integrity. Whether used in indoor industrial settings or outdoor construction sites, this rotation-resistant wire rope delivers consistent reliability in critical safety applications.

18×7+FC Non-rotating Rope

Product Features


Rotation Resistance Technology

At the core of the 18×7+FC Non-rotating Rope is its counter-laid strand configuration. By arranging strands in opposing torque directions, the rope neutralizes rotational forces under load, preventing hazardous load spin and maintaining positional stability. This technology is a game-changer for precision lifting, as it eliminates the risk of swinging loads that can cause equipment damage or workplace accidents. Paired with the fibre core, the design reduces rotational inertia, allowing for smoother operation even on multi-layer drums.


Durability & Safety

The 18×7+FC Non-rotating Rope is built for long-lasting performance. Its smooth strand surface minimizes abrasion on pulleys and drums, extending both the rope’s lifespan and that of the equipment it’s paired with. The rope exhibits excellent anti-fatigue properties, withstanding repeated lifting cycles without compromising strength—ideal for high-frequency operations in construction, manufacturing, and logistics. It also performs consistently across temperature variations, ensuring reliability in extreme hot or cold environments. With its high tensile strength and strict quality control, this heavy-duty lifting rope meets the safety margins required for critical applications.


Flexibility & Handling

The integrated fibre core enhances the rope’s flexibility, making it easier to spool, unspool, and maneuver around obstacles. Unlike rigid steel-core alternatives, the flexible wire rope reduces operator effort during installation and use, while still supporting heavy loads. Additionally, the fibre core acts as a shock absorber, dampening operational impacts to protect both the rope and the lifted load. This combination of flexibility and strength makes the rope suitable for a wide range of lifting equipment, from small hoists to large cranes.


Applications


Crane Systems

The 18×7+FC Non-rotating Rope is a perfect fit for crane systems, including tower cranes, mobile cranes, and harbor machinery. In these applications, precise load positioning is critical—whether lifting steel beams at a construction site or containers at a port. The rope’s non-rotating characteristic prevents load swinging, ensuring safe and accurate placement even at maximum lifting heights. Its compatibility with standard crane components and adherence to international standards make it a trusted choice for crane operators worldwide.


Heavy-Duty Lifting Operations

For dynamic compaction machines, construction site hoisting, and industrial rigging, the heavy-duty lifting rope delivers the strength and stability needed for demanding tasks. It excels in both indoor and outdoor environments, supporting heavy loads while maintaining structural integrity. Whether used for bridge construction, factory equipment installation, or mining operations, this high tensile strength wire rope provides the safety and reliability required for high-stakes lifting.


Industrial Rigging & Dragging

Beyond lifting, the 18×7+FC Non-rotating Rope is ideal for industrial rigging and dragging applications. Its rotation resistance ensures controlled movement of heavy components during assembly or transportation, while its durability withstands the friction and tension of dragging tasks. The shock-absorbing wire rope design protects sensitive equipment from sudden impacts, making it suitable for rigging in aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing facilities.


FAQ


How does the fibre core enhance the 18×7+FC Non-rotating Rope’s performance?

The fibre core reduces rotational inertia, which amplifies the rope’s rotation-resistant properties, and enhances flexibility for smoother spooling on multi-layer drums. It also acts as a shock absorber, absorbing operational impacts to protect the rope and lifted loads. Additionally, the fibre core reduces the rope’s overall weight, making it easier to handle without compromising strength.


What is the safe working load for the 12 mm diameter 18×7+FC Non-rotating Rope?

At a tensile strength of 1770 MPa, the 12 mm 18×7+FC Non-rotating Rope has a minimum breaking load of 135 kN. The safe working load depends on application-specific safety factors (typically 5:1 to 10:1), so it’s critical to calculate based on your operation’s requirements. Always refer to industry guidelines and equipment specifications for precise load limits.


Is the 18×7+FC Non-rotating Rope customizable for length and lay direction?

Yes, customization is available. The rope can be supplied in custom lengths up to 2000 meters per reel, adapting to your project’s specific needs. Additionally, options for zonal or regular lay directions are offered to match different equipment requirements, ensuring optimal performance and compatibility.


Can the 18×7+FC Non-rotating Rope be used in extreme temperature conditions?

Absolutely. The 18×7+FC Non-rotating Rope is engineered for consistent performance across temperature variations, with excellent resistance to both high and low temperatures. It maintains its flexibility and strength in extreme cold (down to -40°C) and heat (up to 120°C), making it suitable for use in Arctic construction, desert mining, and high-temperature industrial environments.


What standards does the 18×7+FC Non-rotating Rope comply with?

The rope adheres to international standards including GB/T20118-2017, DIN/EN/ISO, JISG, and BS. This compliance ensures it meets global safety and performance benchmarks, making it a reliable choice for international projects and equipment compatibility.
