Wire Rope Suppliers in UAE

Importance of good quality wire ropes

A Wire rope is a kind of heavy lifting equipment used widely in the construction and manufacturing industry. They are robust, durable, can be used in higher temperatures (nothing below -400F). They are designed into helix with wires formed in strands. They can be made with grades of steel and are resistant to moisture, heat, UV, corrosion and chemicals. They are tagged with a Serial Identification Number (SIN) to trace them. 

Wire ropes are used to lift heavy loads like cranes, elevators and transmit mechanical power. Wire ropes has following properties. 

• Strong – they are used to carry heavy loads, so they have to be strong in design. The best test is that the actual breaking strength is always more than the calculated breaking strength. If a wire rope fails this test, it is rejected. 
• Resistance to abrasion – wire ropes that have fewer larger wires will be more abrasion-resistant. 
• Resistance to fatigue – resistance to cyclic stress reversals and is a very important property of wire ropes. Smaller the diameter of the sheave of the rope, the greater will be stress reversal and the wire ropes will fatigue faster. 
• Crushing resistance – external forces can affect the shape of the rope. Crushing prevents wires and strands to move easily over one another during a normal exercise and this can lead to rapid wear and tear. 

Wire ropes should be maintained accordingly. It is extremely vital that they are regularly inspected, tested and maintained. The users should be careful of even initial signs of wear & tear and should halt the use till they get them tested and serviced. This is important to prevent any possible damages to people and property.
