Compacted or Swaged Wire Rope
Compacted strand wire rope is a wire rope manufactured from strands which have been compacted or reduced in diameter prior to laying strands around the core into a finished wire rope. There are various known methods for compacting; drawing the strand through a compacting die, roller reduction and rotary swaging are several examples. The compacting process flattens the surface of the outer wires and reforms internal wires of the strand to increase the metallic area of the strand. The result is a smoother bearing surface at the strand crowns and an increase in nominal strength over round strand rope of the same diameter and classification.
