100 ft 3/16 in 304 Stainless Wire Rope
This 100 ft length of 3/16 in diameter wire rope is constructed from 304 stainless steel with a 6x42 strand classification and a fibre core. It carries a working load limit of 320 lb and a breaking strength of 1,600 lbf. The rope is unlubricated and uncoated with a plain end finish, supplied in new condition. It is intended for general lifting and pulling tasks where corrosion resistance is required.
Upgrade from smaller or coated rope
The 6x42 construction provides greater flexibility than ropes with fewer wires per strand, making it easier to handle over sheaves or drums. Switching from a galvanised or coated alternative removes the risk of coating damage contaminating a clean environment. The jump is worth it when the application demands the specific corrosion resistance of 304 stainless steel and the flexibility of a high strand count without lubrication.
Check diameter and load rating
Verify that 3/16 in diameter matches the groove dimensions of your sheaves, drums or fairleads to prevent premature wear. Confirm that the 320 lb working load limit covers the maximum expected load including dynamic factors. Ensure the plain end termination is compatible with your intended attachment method such as clips, thimbles or sockets. Note the product carries California Proposition 65 warnings for cancer and reproductive harm.

Questions about this item
What diameter sheave or pulley is needed for the 3/16 in wire rope?
The rope has a 6 x 42 strand construction with a fiber core and a 3/16 in overall diameter; a sheave groove sized for 3/16 in cable is required for proper fit.
How do you terminate the plain ends of this 100 ft stainless steel rope?
The ends are plain and unlubricated; install swaged sleeves, wire-rope clips or a mechanical fitting rated for 3/16 in 304 stainless steel, and avoid over-tightening clips which can damage the 6 x 42 strands.
When should this 320 lb working-load-limit rope be replaced?
Replace the rope if inspection reveals broken wires, corrosion on the 304 stainless strands, fiber-core degradation, diameter reduction or any deformation that reduces strength below the 1 600 lbf breaking strength.
