Differences in SakuLux wire rope configurations
In this blog post, we will explain the differences between SakuLux products based on their wiring configurations.
Wire rope construction
Wire rope construction refers to the number of individual wires that make up a wire rope.
Generally speaking, the more strands there are, the more flexible it becomes, and the fewer strands there are, the stiffer it tends to be. SakuLux offers four types of configurations: 1x7, 1x19, 3x7, and 7x7.
1x7 configuration
1x7 is a wire rope composed of 7 strands. It is a representative construction for stainless steel wire ropes used in accessories. It has a firm tension while also having moderate flexibility. We recommend this construction for those using SakuLux products for the first time.
1x19 configuration
1x19 is made of 19 strands. Compared to 1x7, it offers improved flexibility and better bending performance. It is also resistant to breakage, making it suitable when a more supple finish is desired.
3x7 arrangement
A 3x7 wire rope is constructed by twisting together three wire ropes, each made of seven strands. It offers a balance of flexibility and stiffness, with a natural drape. This makes it suitable for accessory designs where a balance of strength and suppleness is desired.
7x7 configuration
A 7x7 is a construction composed of seven strands of 1x7 wire rope twisted together. It is the most flexible SakuLux product, offering extremely supple movement. It is suitable for complex designs and accessory production that utilizes soft curves, and is also recommended for those who desire a natural feel when worn. Even with the same color and wire diameter, the impression and feel of a piece can change significantly depending on its construction.
Summary
This time, we introduced the manufacturing method and wire configuration of SakuLux products. Even with the same color and wire diameter, the impression and feel of a work can vary greatly depending on the configuration.
SakuLux products are suitable for accessory making due to their quality and ease of use, achieved by applying a nylon coating to stainless steel wire rope.
Additionally, we offer four types of configurations: 1x7, 1x19, 3x7, and 7x7, allowing you to choose based on your application and design.
