When replacing a wire rope, refer to the relevant Original Equipment Manufacturers recommendation and rope test certification. To ensure safe and efficient operation, replacement ropes should conform to the specified nominal rope diameter and be at least equal to the required strength originally specified. Additionally, the wire rope construction selected should provide similar or improved working properties for resistance to rotation, bend fatigue, crushing, abrasion and corrosion. Where an original wire rope is to be supplied, or where the required working conditions have changed, KISWIRE should be consulted to obtain the best possible advice and recommendations.
• Rope construction:
Class 6x36 IWRC and greater.
• Large diameter outer wires for optimum
resistance to wear and corrosion.
• Wire protection by galvanising or ALUMAR.
• Compact strand (CMP) for increased
strength, improved contact area,reduced
tread pressures and sheave wear.
Rope construction:
6x19 and 6x26 for constructional stability.
Compacted strand (CMP) provides:
• Improved spooling on the drawworks.
• Greater contact area for reduced sheave
and groove wear.
• High resistance to abrasion and pressure.
• Higher strength.
• Improved fatigue life.
Appropriate rope constructions to achieve
optimum fatigue life.
Where the expected working life is in excess of
1 year, ALUMAR protection is recommended.
Compact Strand (CMP) offers:
• Higher strength and improved spooling
properties
• Greater contact area for reduced
sheave wear
• Improved fatigue performance
Optimum flexibility to allow efficient rope
operation around sheaves, drums and
capstans.
Effective protection of all wires by
galvanising/ALUMAR.
Appropriate lubrication during manufacture.
Rope selection should be determined through
consultation with KISWIRE.
