Is the core of wire rope important?

Anything that wants to ensure stability needs to be supported by a fulcrum. We can also compare it to a backbone. Without a backbone, it will be a mess.

This has to remind us of the rope core of the steel wire rope. Before we didn't know much about the steel wire rope, we always thought that the weaving of the steel wire rope was like braiding, twisting the steel wire into strands, and then twisting multiple strands together to form a large-scale steel wire rope.

However, when you carefully look at the cross section of the steel wire rope, you will find that the screwing and merging of the steel wire rope is not so simple, but a more cumbersome and scientific screwing method is adopted, that is, the screwing and merging of the steel wire rope around the rope core. The rope core is the backbone of the whole steel wire rope, which plays an important supporting role in the whole steel wire rope.

First of all, we need to know that the manufacturing of any part needs a support point, and the support point of the steel wire rope is the rope core. Its existence gathers the strength of each steel wire and obtains a stronger force.

Then, the toughness of the steel wire rope is inseparable from the rope core. The bending degree and hardness of the steel wire rope largely depend on the rope core. If the material of the rope core is slightly hard, the bending degree of the steel wire rope itself is slightly lower, on the contrary, the higher.

It can be seen that the rope core plays an absolute role in the steel wire rope. It is with the support of the rope core that the steel wire rope has sufficient strength and toughness.
