WIRE ROPESTRAINING MATERIAL

4 MODULES

TRAINING MATERIAL

Wire ropes belong to the most important elements in conveyor technology.

Wire ropes transmit very high tensile forces with a small rope cross-section.

Wire ropes cannot transmit compressive forces, which means that they cannot be used for bumping.

The variety of possible rope constructions allows for adapting the wire rope to the specific application.

Due to the moveability of the wires in the rope structure, ropes feature a good bendability.Wire ropes have no fatigue strength and must be replaced after a specified service life.

Wires will break due to fatigue after a certain service life not together, but by and by.

As a result of the stranding, a broken wire is fully load-bearing again just behind the breakage.

Wire ropes are sensitive to exter-nal influences. The properties of wire ropes is preserved at temperatures of -30°C to +100°C.

Safely and reliably when correctly applied, serviced and monitored.

CLASSIFICATION

Running wire ropes are ropes run-ning over rope pulleys (rope shea-ves), traction sheaves, sheaves and drums, following the bend of the sheave.

Examples: Lifting ropes, luffing ropes, elevator ropes, pull ropes, etc.

Running wire ropes

Stationary ropes are ropes that do not run over pulleys and the ends of which are mounted in ancho-rages.

Examples: Guy ropes for poles and booms.

Stationary wire ropes

Suspension ropes are ropes on which pulleys of conveyors are running. They have a similar function like rails.

Examples:Suspension ropes for cable cars, cable cranes.

Suspension ropes

Rope slings serve to attach and sling a load.

5.1 Low-tension rope

A rope is considered as low-tension (or low-twist), if its strands and wires do not or do only barely pop out of the rope structure after the serving has been removed from the end of the rope. A low-tension rope does not tend to form bends or kinks, as it “lies dead”. Low-tension ropes are manufactured according to specific stranding processes.

55.1 Rotation-free or low-rotation rope

A rope is considered as rotation-free or low-rotation, if it under the influence of an unguided load does not, or does barely, rotates around its longitudinal axis and exerts a very low torque on the end connections.

The rotation-free or low-rotation feature of the rope is caused by its specific construction and the type of stranding (multilayer round strand rope, flattened strand rope, braided rope and other special constructions).

The rope grade Rr in N/mm2 is the underlying minimum tensile strength of the wire.

6.4 Calculated breaking force 6.5 Minimum breaking force

The calculated breaking force (Fe,min) of the rope is the product of the metallic rope cross-section Ac in mm2 and the nominal strength Rr in N/mm2.

This theoretical value is sometimes used as the calculation basis with lifting gear; also abbreviated as CBF.

The minimum breaking force (Fmin) of the rope is the product of the calculated breaking force Fe,min in kN and the stranding factor k.

Minimum value achieved in tensile test;also abbreviated as MBF.

• Lifting an unguided load on a single rope line.• Lifting an unguided load on several rope lines at great lifting heights.

Rotation-free ropes can be used with or without a swivel.

2.2 Rotation-free ropes

This decision must be made very carefully. There is no room for error. Short rope life, changes to the structure of the rope, abrupt and unexpected failure of the rope, etc. could result from a wrong choice.

The strands and wires will be compressed as much that the rope structure is not warranted any longer. Rope suspensions should be set so as to allow the rope to absorb the 2.5-fold tensile force of the rope without a permanent deformation.

Guideline for the lubricating interval• Wire ropes in the open air

As needed with dry rope surface

• Protected wire ropes As needed with dry rope surface

Guideline for the lubricant consumption• 0.2 liter of wire rope oil

for rope ø of 10 mm over a rope length of 100 m

• 0.4 liter of wire rope oil for rope ø of 20 mm over a rope length of 100 m

Requirements for the lubricant• Compatible with the

original lubricant

• Resistant against environmental influences (e.g. UV radiation, temperature, oxidation, dust, etc.)

• Fluid, without solvents if possible

• Largely temperature-independent in the viscosity (fluidity)

• Good adherence

• Used oils and greases are not suitable

Reasons for cleaning• Dust, oxidation, UV radiation and temperatures make the lubricant age.• In addition, mechanical

influences result in blank spots on the rope.• The influence of the rope lubrication on the rope service life may be up to factor 10.

Principles of re-lubrication• A lubrication in the open air

requires dry weather.• Every cleaning must be immediately followed by re-lubrication.• Apply the lubricant after the

drive rollers and guide rollers.• Re-lubricate as often as possible,

but sparingly.• Disperse the lubricant on the

entire rope surface.• Wire ropes that come into

contract with gravel, sand and soil must not be lubricated.

Strand break at ordinary lay round strand rope

In case of wire break nests. In case of broken strand or strand just before breaking.

Rope-ø d due to wear at the thinnest spot is smaller by 10% or with multilayer

hoist ropes by 3% or due to structural changes by 15% than in the new

condition.

If the rope-ø d due to corrosion or wear falls below by more than 10% or with multilayer hoist ropes by 3% or due to

structural changes like constriction, flattening, curly deformations and

crushes by more than 15%.

A kink is caused by a rope sling being contracted.The sling may result from a torque existing in the rope or from a torque allied externally, e.g. by falsely pulling off the ropes from rings or drums.

Causes of loop formations may include:

• Insufficient lubrication of the rope• Too narrow rope groves• Too large lateral drops of the rope• Too short a distance between two

guide rollers• Untwisting of the rope• Small stroke and large

pulsating load

Loop formation of wires or loose wires

Kinks, bends, knots
