Compacted Strand Flex-X® and Hyperform®

Mining, industrial, construction, logging, and oilfield applications. Stability, strength, fatigue resistance, and abrasion resistance. All popular sizes. Longer service life. Flex-X® 6 x 26 should be used in applications where increased strength, stability, and abrasion resistance are beneficial. When properly used, Flex-X® 6 x 26 can result in longer service life. Boom hoist ropes and drag ropes and mainline ropes in logging are a few of many recommended applications.	Single-part multi-part hoist lines. Designers/Engineers: ideal when machinery space and weight savings are important. (See metric core ropes) Important: Do not exceed 5:1 design factor. Ideally suited to rugged applications. This rotation resistant, higher strength rope provides extra value in both original equipment designs and replacement applications. Compared to standard 19 x 7, Flex-X provides higher strength in a smaller diameter, with better resistance to drum crushing.
