Cable Specifications
This Dayton wire rope is a 3/8 inch diameter stainless steel cable supplied in a 50 foot length. It is designed for lifting and pulling tasks where a working load limit of 2340 lb is required. The construction uses a 6 x 37 strand classification with an IWRC core for structural integrity.
Material and Finish
The cable is made from 304 grade stainless steel and is supplied unlubricated and uncoated with a plain end finish. This means the surfaces are bare metal without protective oils or plastic jackets. Users must apply their own lubrication during installation and provide end terminations such as thimbles or swaged fittings before putting the rope into service.
Usage Constraints
The working load limit of 2340 lb is substantially lower than the 11700 lbf breaking strength, reflecting the safety factor required for lifting applications. The specification lists bend radius as not applicable and provides no minimum or maximum operating temperature data. Buyers needing certified temperature ratings or specific sheave diameter guidance must consult engineering standards not covered by this product data.

Questions about this item
How often should the 304 stainless steel wire rope be inspected for wear or corrosion?
Inspect the 6 x 37 construction cable before each lifting task; replace it when broken wires, kinks or visible corrosion appear on the unlubricated surface.
What load limit is reached first during sustained lifting with the 50 ft length?
The working load limit of 2,340 lb governs continuous use; exceeding it risks permanent deformation before the 11,700 lbf breaking strength is approached.
Does the plain-end cable generate noticeable heat or noise when run all day?
The uncoated 3/8 in stainless strand produces minimal friction heat and no mechanical noise under normal lifting cycles.
