In the structure of modern elevators, steel cables are one of the key components, contributing to the safety, stability, and operational durability of the entire system. Among the commonly used cable types today, the 8x19(S) steel cable with a fiber core (FC), a diameter of 10mm, and a tensile strength of 1570N/mm² is a noteworthy choice due to its stable operation and easy integration with various guiding devices.
1. Technical structure of the steel cable 8x19(S)+FC
8x19(S): The cable consists of 8 strands, each formed from 19 small steel wires tightly woven in a Seale (S) structure — a design commonly used in the construction and elevator industries due to its ability to evenly distribute force and resist wear.
Diameter 10mm: One of the common sizes, suitable for a variety of elevators, from residential passenger elevators to medium-capacity industrial elevators.
Tensile strength of 1570N/mm²: Demonstrates good load-bearing capacity, meets basic technical requirements for load, ensuring safe operation in continuous working environments.
2. Performance advantages of the 8x19(S) FC core cable
This type of cable is highly regarded by elevator installation and maintenance units due to the following characteristics:
Fiber Core (FC): The core structure is made from jute or synthetic fibers, which increases flexibility, especially suitable for elevators with small pulleys or systems requiring large bending angles.
Reduced vibration, smooth operation: The fabric core helps absorb vibrations better than a steel core, thereby creating a smooth operation, ideal for residential elevators or high-rise buildings that need to minimize noise.
Stable abrasion resistance: Although it does not achieve the high durability of steel cores, thanks to the Seale structure and quality materials, the cable still ensures long-term performance under standard usage conditions.
Simple construction, easy to replace: Lighter than steel core cables, easy to handle during installation or regular maintenance.
3. Suitable application of 8x19(S)+FC steel wire rope – 10mm, 1570N/mm²
This cable product is suitable for many elevator systems with average load and durability requirements, specifically:
Residential elevators and mini home elevators: Ideal for villas and townhouses from 3 to 6 stories.
Small-scale commercial elevators: Medium offices, hotels, mini apartment complexes.
Light-duty freight elevators in the workshop: Where the operating frequency is not continuous, and the operating conditions are stable.
The ability to bend flexibly, easily adapt to pulleys and installation conditions helps the cable operate effectively in many real-world environments.
Summary
8x19(S)+FC steel cable, 10mm diameter, 1570N/mm² tensile strength is a suitable solution for projects requiring cost optimization, smooth operation, and easy maintenance. With a sturdy strand structure and a soft core that helps absorb vibrations well, this product line provides stability for the elevator system while still meeting the necessary technical criteria in the industry.
