The Flexibility of Wire Ropes

 An important part of machines and other structures like elevators, mine hoists, cranes, conveyors and suspension bridges are wire ropes. Wire Ropes are used to transmit a large amount of power from one pulley to another.They are used to lift heavy loads in the construction and manufacturing industries. Wire Ropes can last in high temperatures, are durable and strong, making their use flexible.

Made from high carbon stainless steel, wire ropes have continuous wire strands that’re wound around a central core. They’re very important in the construction and manufacturing businesses. Wire Ropes can differ in design depending upon their use. Some different designs are:

·         2/3/4 legged designed for general lifting when being connected directly to the load.

·         Versatile Eye and Ear Wire Slings. They find use in choker, basket and vertical hitches.

·         Multi-part Wire Rope is flexible, durable and shows strength. They can be used with single loads of about moderate weight.

Because of multiple wire strands in a wire rope, it maintains its strength. However, with time the strands can start to come off / damage and reduce the strength of the rope. That’s why it becomes extremely important to regularly check them for damaged strands, corrosion and any other signs of wear and tear. In case of wear and tear the flexibility of the Wire Ropes will reduce causing further damage.

Wire Ropes cannot be used in temperatures below 40 degrees (F). They’re, due to their design, resistant to moisture, heat, UV and chemicals. They are known to be corrosion resistant. Since they come with a Serial Identification Number (SIN) from the manufacturers, they can be traced.
