The Steel Wire Rope is a helical wire bundle in which the Steel Wires whose mechanical properties and geometric dimensions meet the requirements are twisted together according to certain rules. The steel wire rope is composed of steel wire, rope core and grease. The steel wire rope is first twisted into strands by multiple layers of steel wires, and then twisted into a helical rope by a certain number of strands with the rope core as the center. In material handling machinery, it is used for lifting, pulling, tensioning and carrying. The steel wire rope has high strength, light weight, stable operation, not easy to break suddenly and reliable operation.

a) The wire rope is a key component of the electric hoist hoisting mechanism, which directly affects the safe use of the hoist, and is often scrapped due to wear and tear, so it should always be in a good lubricating state, and the fixing of its end should be checked regularly.

b) When the wire rope reaches the conditions specified in GB5972, it should be scrapped and replaced with a new rope in time.
