DIN 3055 Zinc-Plated Steel Wire Rope
DIN 3055 zinc-plated steel wire rope, 6×7 construction, diameter 1–16 mm, load capacity 0.2–15.3 t. FLOK supplies it for guy wires and rigging.
The DIN 3055 steel wire rope made of metal, diameter M1 to M16 mm, uninsulated. It withstands a load of 0.2 to 15.3 t. Manufactured from zinc-coated steel with a synthetic core. Used for moving and transporting products and structures, and forms part of load-lifting elements. The construction is simple: wires are wound around a core to form a strand, and strands are wound around a core to form the rope. Used in machine building, machine-tool engineering, industry and manufacturing. It has high strength, and depending on its structure, varying flexibility.
DIN 3055 is a standard describing zinc-plated steel wire rope used to form guy wires and suspensions in mechanisms and equipment. The wire rope is used in commercial rigging, including for suspending loads in a vertical plane. Marking under Russian national standard GOST 3066-80 does not include the GL numerical markings, therefore wire ropes complying with DIN 3055 are not used for transporting personnel or cargo.
Design
According to DIN 3055, steel wire rope for guying is rigging equipment made from interconnected strands. Zinc-plated coils of high-strength wire are used in its production.
During manufacturing, the wires are wound onto a bobbin by a machine that forms a single core, after which the core is passed through a rope-laying machine. The wires are then twisted together according to the pattern specified in DIN 3055.
DIN 3055 zinc-plated wire rope is designated 6×7: 6 wires surround a seventh, forming 6 strands that are twisted into the rope.
Operating features
Wire rope complying with DIN 3055 is called guy rope — it is used to guy elements. To secure a large-scale structure, the rope is attached to the load requiring a rigid installation and then pulled taut in the opposite direction. A spire or antenna secured by the guying method is not subject to tilting or collapse, provided the rope’s strength is sufficient for the resulting load.
Wire ropes, with or without PVC sheathing, are fitted with thimbles, hooks and clips, or hook suspensions. These components are selected depending on the characteristics of the structure being secured.
Guy rope complying with DIN 3055 is used for installing television towers, antennas and remote signal transmission equipment. Its use speeds up the installation of television communication and data transmission lines.
DIN 3055 wire rope is used for securing high-voltage lines to increase the strength of the attachment. For spans exceeding 100 m between transmitter and receiver, a rope is installed running along the high-frequency line. Along the route, the zinc-plated wire rope and the power transmission cable are fixed together. The load is carried by the rope, which has a safety margin in strength.
An additional application area is banner installation. Banners larger than 3×5 m are fitted with eyelets around the perimeter, and a rope is used to secure the structure, with the diameter depending on the banner’s dimensions. Common sizes are 3 mm, 4 mm, 6 mm and larger.
DIN 3055 wire rope may be used for installing suspended structures in retail and industrial facilities. After the anchor fastener (eye bolt) is secured, turnbuckles are additionally installed, to which the DIN 3055 rope is attached at the required distance from the ceiling. This reduces the mounting height.
How to choose?
Choosing a wire rope is based on the strength parameters set by the manufacturer and national standards. Exceeding the maximum load on the rope is not permitted — this leads to a hazardous situation in the workplace or facility. Before purchasing, it is recommended to review the tables matching DIN 3055 diameter to the weight of the structure to be secured.
