Static Safe Working Load
When choosing cable size, determine the cable's diameter in accordance with the weight of the items. Please refer to the table below to follow the suggested load limits and appropriate cable selection. Also, please make sure to follow the recommended cable diameter and safe working load for each product.
| cable selection (mm) |
Safe working load (kg) |
Breaking Strength (kgf) |
|---|---|---|
| Φ0.6 | 3 | 16.5 – 16.8 |
| Φ0.8 | 5 | 30.2 – 34.5 |
| Φ1.0 | 8 | 47.6 – 50.0 |
| Φ1.2 | 10 | 56.2 – 73.4 |
| Φ1.5 | 30 | 84.8 – 95.7 |
| Φ2.0 | 50 | 143 – 146 |
| cable selection (mm) |
Safe working load (kg) |
Breaking Strength (kgf) |
|---|---|---|
| Φ2.5 | 70 | 228 – 242 |
| Φ3.0 | 100 | 310 – 330 |
| Φ4.0 | 150 | 465 – 543 |
| Φ5.0 | 200 | 1,030 – 1,090 |
| Φ6.0 | 300 | 1,750 – 1,900 |
Safe working loads are at least 1/3 of the breaking strength. Please contact us if you would like to use our products under dynamic load.
Caution
- Safe working load and breaking strength are the weights that both the cable and gripper can operate.
- For your safety, please use our company's cable and products in together.
- Safe working loads of some products are different from the safe working load of the cables. When using our products in combination, the lowest safe working loads of the products should be applied.
- The safe working load of φ5.0 and 6.0 cable only applies to the WF series.
- When multiple items are installed on a single cable, please make sure that the total load of items does not exceed the safe working load.
- Multiple the number of cables by its suggested load (and then by 60% if you have multiple cables) to determine if your weight requrements are met. (see the figure on the right). In case of 5 point hanging or more, please follow the same load limit of 4 point hanging.
- When multiple the number of cables are used, please make sure that safe working load is equally applied to each cable not to concentrate on the load one cable.
