DIN 3066 PVC-Coated Steel Wire Ropes

DIN 3066 PVC-coated steel wire ropes are a metal rope with an organic or polymer core. They are used for transporting loads in the vertical and horizontal plane. To reduce the impact of environmental factors, the rope is coated with a layer of polyvinyl chloride that protects against abrasion.

Design features

DIN 3066 PVC-coated steel wire ropes are recommended for use under reduced bending or pulsating loads. High-strength steel wire is used. The flexible element is wound around an organic core.

Marking

DIN 3066 wire ropes are marked according to the following template:

1. The first number – the number of strands in the rope.
2. The second number – the number of steel wires in one strand.
3. The third number (if present) – the number of cores.
4. The letter designation – the raw material used for the core, for example, FC – vegetable fiber, PVC – synthetic layer. If no designation is given, the core is made of the same material as the outer strands.

How to choose?

The choice depends on load capacity, diameter, and the required strength. The breaking load specified by the manufacturer must not be exceeded.

Rope diameter, mm	Breaking load (minimum), kN	Approximate weight, kg/100m
10	43.4	34.6
12	62.4	49.8
14	85	67.8
16	117	88.6
18	141	112
20	173	138
22	210	167
24	250	199
26	293	234
28	340	271
30	390	311
