Flex-X 19 PS Category 2, rotation resistant rope  Compacted smooth design  Crush resistant  Fatigue resistant

Union Flex-X 19 PS is a rotation resistant rope produced by laying 6-strands around a core strand in one direction.  Then 12 strands are laid around this first operation in the opposite direction.  Smaller diameters typically have 7 wires per strand while larger diameters have 19 wires per strand.

Our Flex-X 19 PS wire rope is designed for multi-part hoisting systems. It reduces block twisting and spools well at high line speeds. Because of its tightly compacted smooth design, Flex-X 19 PS offers more crushing resistance than standard 19x7 rope, higher strength-to-diameter, resistance to bending fatigue, exceptional stability, and reduced wear to sheaves and drums.

Flex-X® vs. standard rope of similar construction:

Flex-X designs reduce drum scrubbing between the lead line and the previous wrap.   The smooth contact creates less interference, less metal loss and wire deformation. The increased surface area of Flex-X can be seen in the comparison of the contact points of a standard 6x26WS and Flex-X as shown.
