Wire rope eye anchor M6, Satin

The Strofix wire rope eye anchor M6, Satin is the anchor point for Ø3 mm wire rope railings: an AISI 316 eye with an M6 thread and a satin finish.

The threaded end is screwed into the post or fixed with a nut, and the fork of a tensioner is pinned to the eye, so the cable is anchored at the first or last post. AISI 316 contains molybdenum, which gives it higher resistance to chlorides and salt air than AISI 304 and makes it suitable for exterior, coastal and high-humidity installations. It works with the Strofix Ø3 mm rope, the tensioners and the other wire rope system components.

Use cases:

• Anchoring a Ø3 mm wire rope at the first or last post
• Fixing point for a fork tensioner
• Exterior and coastal wire rope railings (AISI 316)

About Wire Rope Systems

A wire rope system is a stainless-steel cable infill for balustrades: horizontal ropes are tensioned between the railing posts to form a light, open infill that keeps the view and lets air through – for balconies, terraces and staircases.

Strofix supplies the components for a Ø3 mm rope system: AISI 316 rope sold by the metre, rope holders for intermediate posts, eye anchors, tensioners, threaded terminals, rope stoppers and crimping pliers.

The rope and tensioning parts are AISI 316 and the rope holders AISI 304, for 40 × 40 mm and Ø42.4 mm posts. The correct set depends on the post profile, the number of rope runs and the length of the run.
