Steel Wire Rope For Hoist

Released on Dec. 05, 2024


Steel wire rope is one of the important parts of lifting machinery, it has the advantages of high strength, good flexibility, lightweight, smooth operation, and few sudden breakages, so it is widely used in lifting mechanisms, tilting mechanisms, traction mechanisms of steel wire rope hoists, and can also be used as a rope for tying objects, tensioning rope for mast cranes, traction rope and load rope for cable cranes and aerial tramways. Our steel wire rope is divided into stainless steel wire rope, galvanized steel wire ropes, etc. We can customize it for you depending on your needs.

Steel Wire Rope Daily Use Precautions

1. Steel wire rope made of galvanized steel wire rope can be used in damp or outdoor environments to enhance its anti-rust properties.

2. In addition to the wear of the outer layer of steel wire, steel wire rope is mainly worn out due to repeated bending caused by wrapping around hooks and objects being lifted, so the ratio of hooks or objects being lifted to the diameter of steel wire rope is an important factor in determining the service life of steel wire rope.

3.  Steel wire rope should be scrapped when the degree of wear, surface corrosion, or broken wires in each twist exceeds the specified value.

4. Steel wire ropes are mainly used in lifting, pulling, and other transportation operations that require high-strength wire ropes. Standing under the lifted object or passing through objects on it during use is strictly forbidden.

Methods of Steel Wire Rope Corrosion Prevention

Steel wire rope is made up of multiple layers of steel wire twisted into strands and then wound into a spiral shape around a rope core by a certain number of strands. It is used for lifting, pulling, tightening, and carrying in material handling machinery. The strength of steel wire rope is high, the weight is light, the operation is stable, and it is not prone to sudden breakage in its entire length, which makes it reliable in operation. Here are the methods of preventing corrosion of steel wire rope:

1. Lubrication: All steel wire ropes must be lubricated. The fiber core should be soaked in oil, requiring the oil to protect the fiber core from rotting and rusting the steel wire, moistening the fiber, and lubricating the steel wire rope from the inside out. Surface lubrication should coat the surface of all the steel wire strands uniformly with a thin layer of rust-resistant and lubricating red oil, with black oil having increased abrasion resistance and water resistance for friction hoisting and mines with large amounts of water; other uses should have a strong film-forming property and good rust prevention properties with red oil, and the oil layer should be thin for easy cleaning during operation.

2. Coating: There are coatings such as zinc, aluminum, nylon, or plastic. Steel wire ropes with zinc coating are divided into thin coatings applied before drawing and thick coatings applied after drawing, with the mechanical properties of the thick coating being lower than those of the plain steel wire rope and suitable for use in severely corrosive environments. Steel wire ropes with aluminum coating are more resistant to corrosion, wear, and heat than those with zinc coating and are mainly used in fishing net vessels and mines with H2S, using the method of coating before drawing. Steel wire ropes coated with nylon or plastic are divided into coated wire and coated strands combined into a rope.

When purchasing steel wire ropes, pay attention to the following:

1. Is the DIN, manufacturer name, and CE mark printed on the swage?

2. Is the swaging done correctly?

3. Is the end of the swaged steel wire rope pressed tightly into the inner or outer part of the swage with a diameter of 0.5d?

4. Can you see the end of the swaged steel wire rope through the control hole?

5. Is the steel wire rope straight when laid flat?

6. Is the diameter of the steel wire rope accurate?

7. Is the length of the swage 4.5×d?

Finally Words

Steel wire rope is necessary for the electric hoist, therefore, you should notice the rope supplier, price, and quality when you purchase. In addition, we are a professional electric wire rope hoist and steel wire rope manufacturer, any need, please contact us at any time!
