FC, WSC or IWRC?
FC – FIBER CORE
FC stands for fiber core, made of natural or synthetic fiber, which can provide excellent flexibility and resistance to contact pressure. The fiber core can store lubrication to reduce the friction between wire strands effectively. Meanwhile, the fiber core makes the rope lower deformable with low elastic rope elongation.
WSC – WARRINGTON SEALE CORE
WSC is abbreviation of wire strand core. WSC ropes features better heat resistance than FC ropes, meanwhile, increase metallic section provide added 15% of strength. However, WSC steel ropes are less flexible than those with fiber cores.
IWRC – IRON WIRE ROPE CORE
IWRC is short for independent wire rope core, which strengths the rope, reduce tensile stress in individual wires as well as makes the ropes more resistant to crushing. At the same time, IWRC wire ropes have the maximum heat resistance than others FC or WSC ropes.
