‘Z’ shaped wire for Full-locked coil rope

Z-shaped or named as Z-profiled wire is used for the outer layers of Full-locked coil rope.

The designation of a full lock wire is established using the letter ‘Z’ and the height (h)

According to DIN EN 10264-3 stranded.

Size range: H2 to H6 mm

Tensile strength: 1370Mpa up to 1770Mpa

Dimensional tolerances for Z Profile wire
