Macalloy SC460

After the success of the Macalloy 460 and S460 systems, and also in order to meet the ever increasing needs of its customers, the Macalloy SC460 Stainless Cable System has been introduced.

This specially designed system incorporates cable adaptors, which allow standard Macalloy S460 range of forks. By using the standard Macalloy S460 forks on the cable ends, continuity of design remains in projects where standard Macalloy 460 & S460 bar systems have been used alongside the Macalloy SC460 stainless Cable Systems.

The cable used in the system undergoes both a conventional elastic stretch as well as an initial stretch can be between 0.10 and 0.75% of the cable length, depending on the magnitude and frequency of loading, and should always be considered in the design of the structure.

Macalloy offers three types of cable:

• 1x19 spiral strand, has moderate initial stretch properties. All the cable adaptor fittings are designed to match the minimum breaking load of the 1x19 cable.
• Compact Strand, has a higher breaking load along with a lower initial stretch than the 1x19 strand cable and is available in most diameters.
• 7x19 strand is the most flexible cable is available in most diameters.
