Wire ropes can also be divided into three types: point contact, line contact or surface contact according to the contact state between each layer of steel wires in the strand.

1. Point contact wire rope: The diameters of the wires in the strands are all the same. In order to make the steel wires evenly stressed, the helix angles of each layer of steel wires after twisting are roughly equal, but the twisting distances are not equal, so the inner and outer layers of steel wires cross each other and are in point contact.

2. Line contact steel wire rope: The twisting distance of each layer of steel wires in the strand is equal, and the inner and outer steel wires are in contact with each other on a spiral line, showing a line contact state. The performance of line contact wire ropes is greatly improved compared to point contact, so it is widely used.

3. Surface contact wire rope: A type of surface contact rope. The outer layer is made of special-shaped steel wires with a smooth surface and good wear resistance. Compared with other types of steel wire ropes of the same diameter, it has greater tensile strength and can withstand lateral pressure, but has poor flexibility, complicated processes, and high manufacturing costs. It is often used as load-bearing ropes, such as cables on cable cranes and overhead ropeways.
