How much weight can a stainless steel cable hold?
Breaking strength is 6400 lbs and working load limit is 1280 lbs. Cable weighs 0.11 pounds per foot and adheres to federal specification.
It is an exceptionally strong wire. For example, Grade 301 and 304 stainless steel possesses a tensile strength of up to 1300 MPa in strip and wire forms. Galvanized steel, with a tensile strength of up to 550 MPa, comparatively, makes stainless steel remarkably strong.
The working load limit (WLL) on common 5/16 steel cable is only 2000 pounds. The minimum breaking strength is approximately 10K pounds. So in many cases a 10K winch can be supplied with a steel cable with a minimum breaking strength of 10K.

| Cable Diameter | Breaking Strength | Working Load Limit (5:1) Design Factor |
|---|---|---|
| 1/8" | 2,000 lbs | 400 lbs |
| 3/16" | 4,200 lbs | 840 lbs |
| 1/4" | 7,000 lbs | 1,400 lbs |
A robust & versatile cable 5mm 7x19 construction is a very flexible galvanised steel wire rope with a breaking load limit of 2029kgs. Its high breaking strength makes it an ideal all purpose cable for indoor use.
Breaking strength: 6,400 lb. Weighs approximately 0.111 lb/per foot. Grade 304 stainless steel for protection against rust and corrosion.
Stainless steel is significantly stronger than galvanized steel, which has a lower breaking point. The exterior layer of zinc may wear off over time if the cable is exposed to a lot of friction, which weakens the steel beneath. The next major difference is wear resistance.
The tensile strength of the starting material is 350 MPa, and that of the nanostructure steel wire is 900 MPa. Although total elongation decreases from 37 to 10%, the reduction in area decreases slightly from 89 to 77%.
3/16" diameter 7x19 type 316 stainless steel cable. 200 ft reel constructed of 7 strands and 19 wires per strand. 7x19 construction makes this cable very flexible. Breaking strength is 3565 lbs and working load limit is 713 lbs.

Overall, wire rope is stronger than chain. The multi-strands of continuous wires give wire rope its strength, whereas a chain is joined together with links. These joins are the weakest part of a chain and can break under heavy loads.
Aircraft cable is available in galvanized steel and Stainless Steel, and is also offered in Stainless Steel Type 316.

304 stainless steel is among the strongest, and most popular materials used in the manufacturing of mechanical cable.
Application. Stainless steel wire is the raw material for screws, springs, metallic net, cable wire and hardware. It is widely used in filter, building and important for electronic parts, oil and fiber industry, kitchenware and hardware.
How long do steel cables last?
When retained in storage properly wire rope (steel cable) has an unlimited shelf life.

The vast majority of wire rope specifications are designated with 316 or 304, and sometimes 302 grade. The basic difference is in the elements that comprise the alloy itself. For example, 304 has approximately 10 percent more tensile strength than equivalent stainless steel wire rope sizes and constructions using 316.
Wires are hot dip galvanized for greater corrosion protection. 7x19 construction makes this cable very flexible. Breaking strength is 9800 lbs and working load limit is 1960 lbs. Cable weighs 0.173 pounds per foot and adheres to federal specification.
