wire rope lubrication machine made in china

Proper lubrication of wire rope will extend operational life and increase safety. Done correctly, it lubricates exterior surfaces as well as the inside wires and core. Proper lubrication will help reduce friction as the individual wires move over each other, and provide corrosion protection.However, lubricating wire ropes can be difficult. Manual lubrication via drip, brush, spatula or rubber glove method is a messy, time-consuming maintenance task and can be hazardous to the environment.

The Viper Wire Rope Lubricator is a much better solution. The Viper Mid MK II provides fast, effective one-pass lubrication of wire ropes from 5/16 in (8 mm) to 2 5/8 in (67 mm) in diameter, at speeds up to 6,670 ft (2,033 m) per hour. It eliminates the slow, labor-intensive task of manual lubrication, at the same time achieving more thorough results by forcing LE’s robust wire rope lubricant under high pressure (up to 5,500 psi) right to the core of the wire rope.

The Viper Wire Rope Lubricator can be used in any application where wire rope can be drawn through the collar of the lubricator, including the following typical applications:

The Viper Wire Rope Lubricator consists of a lubricator collar assembly that houses polyurethane seals suited to a specific wire rope size. The assembly is clamped around the rope and anchored to a fixed point. The rope is then pulled through the collar. The steel scraper plates pre-clean the rope by scraping dirt, debris and old lubricant from the rope and protect the seals from loose strands, flattening them out before new lubricant is applied.

As the lubricant is applied with the high-pressure, high-flow grease pump, it forces the lubricant between the strands to the wire rope core. The result is a fully lubricated wire rope with a smooth minimal film of lubricant on the outer strands.

The collar is the heart of the Viper MK II. Constructed from high-grade cast aluminum with a robust protective coating, the collar is completed with stainless steel hardware to provide maximum corrosion protection. The MK II collar has built-in handles, making it easy to carry in one hand. One person can easily attach the Viper to the rope.

LE carries the complete standard kit and all necessary components for operation. Configuring the kit is simple. The selection of the seals and scraper plates is based on wire rope size. If you have more than one wire rope size, additional scrapers and seals can be purchased.

6×19 construction wire rope is available with either FC (fibre core) or WSC (wire strand core). When supplied with a wsc the rope is more commonly referred to as 7×19. The rope is very popular in diameters from 3mm to 16mm and is used on a variety of applications. 6×19 FC and 6×19 WSC (7×19) is very flexible in diameters 3mm to 6mm and is used for many requirements where wire ropes are running over pulleys. 7×19 construction is readily available in both galvanised and marine grade stainless steel.

A mine hoist is a pharynx equipment connecting the ground and underground in the process of coal mining, and the hoisting wire rope is the only traction part connecting the hoisting container, so its performance directly determines the hoisting safety. With the increasing demand for deep coal resource mining, mine hoists are gradually developing in the direction of ultra-deep and heavy load. The multi-layer winding hoist has become the first choice for ultra-deep mining because of its small drum size and excellent lifting capacity. However, in the process of multi-layer winding and hoisting, poor or failure of lubrication between wire ropes on the drum will inevitably lead to direct contact wear and reduce their mechanical properties. In addition, fluctuations in load, speed, and acceleration will accelerate the wear of the wire ropes, thus incurring real potential safety hazards. In the past, scholars have done a lot of work on the friction, wear, and mechanical properties of wire ropes and wires.

Fretting wear is inevitable due to the difference of tensile deformation between steel wires during the use of wire rope. In order to explore the fretting wear characteristics of steel wires under tension, torsion, and both, Wang et al. [1,2] compared and analyzed the wear states of steel wires under the three conditions with the help of a test bench and found that the wear mark size and wear rate are the largest under the combined condition of extension and torsion. Xu et al. [3] set up a steel wire fretting wear test rig considering the convex–concave structure of the spiral contact between the steel wires, and the fretting wear tests between the spiral contact steel wires with different sliding amplitudes while contact loads under the action of tension–torsion coupling force were carried out. They found that the wear degree of steel wire increases with increasing sliding amplitude and contact load. Subsequently, Xu et al. [4] analyzed the influence of diameter and cross angle on fretting wear behavior between steel wires under the action of tension–torsion coupling force and found that the larger cross angle makes the contact area of steel wires easier to enter the local slip state. In order to explore the specific parameters affecting the fretting wear between steel wires, Kumar et al. [5] systematically carried out a large number of analysis tests, and concluded that the material characteristics, structure, fatigue, contact. and lubrication all affect the fretting wear between steel wires. The mechanical properties of steel wire directly determine the bearing capacity of rope, so some scholars have conducted a great deal of research work on the mechanical properties of steel wire. In view of the important influence of heat treatment on the mechanical properties of steel wire, Wei et al. [6] studied the influence of low temperature annealing on the mechanical properties of cold-drawn pearlite stainless steel wire, and found that the tensile strength of steel wire was improved after low temperature annealing. Subsequently, Wei et al. [7] carried out an analysis of the effect of drawing heating on the microstructure and mechanical properties of cold-drawn pearlite stainless steel wire and found that low-temperature drawing gives lower strength and better ductility due to the lower content of nanocrystalline cementite. Beretta et al. [8] established a fatigue strength prediction model based on the propagation of surface defects in the cold drawing manufacturing process of steel wire. The model mainly considers the number of extreme defects in steel wire and the material properties jointly expressed by cyclic yield strength and crack propagation threshold. The manufacturing temperature of cold-drawn hypereutectoid steel wire is usually high. In order to explore the influence of high temperature on the evolution of its microstructure and mechanical properties, Jafari et al. [9] studied the changes of microstructure and tensile strength of steel wire after deformation at different temperatures for a certain period of time. They found that high temperature promoted the formation of carbon-poor (Fe, Mn, Cr) 3C cementite particles, thus destroying the stability of the layered structure and further reducing the strength of the steel wire. Nguyen et al. [10] explained the mechanical property degradation mechanism of steel wire under stress relaxation by using microstructure evolution and the grain boundary strengthening mechanism. Cruzado et al. [11,12] established a finite element model that can effectively predict the wear marks of steel wires under fretting wear conditions, which provides reference for wire rope designers to analyze the wear degree of wire ropes under different operating parameters and mechanism parameters.

The mechanical properties of wire rope directly determine the safety of mine hoisting. Some scholars have performed much research work on the mechanical properties of wire rope by means of experiments. Mouradi et al. [13] monitored the damage evolution process of 19 × 7 non-rotating wire ropes through fracture tensile tests, and defined the different stages of damage evolution of the wire rope and the critical life fraction that may lead to sudden failure. In view of the negative influence of broken wires on the mechanical properties of wire ropes, Zhang et al. [14] conducted bending fatigue tests on the wire rope samples with different pre-broken wire distributions based on a self-made bending fatigue test device and found that broken wires increased the stress in the internal strands and the contact force between steel wires, thus reducing the service life of wire ropes. The friction and wear of wire ropes seriously threatens the safety and reliability of traction transmission equipment. In order to truly simulate the friction and wear behavior of two wire ropes when they cross contact, Chang et al. [15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22] made a self-made wire rope friction and wear testing machine, and tests with different working conditions, structural parameters, and environmental parameters were carried out. In addition, Peng et al. [23] set up a testing machine to simulate the impact of winding hoisting wire ropes, and found through tests that the increase of load, slip speed, and impact speed seriously threatened the mechanical properties of the wire ropes.

Lubrication is an important measure to improve the service life and operational safety of wire ropes. However, the operating conditions of multi-layer winding hoisting wire ropes in an ultra-deep mine are often extremely harsh, and lubrication failure readily occurs, thus accelerating the wear of the wire ropes. In order to adapt to the harsh operating environment, modification of lubricating grease has been favored by many scholars. Zhao et al. [24] evaluated the friction and wear properties of lithium-based grease with nano-calcium borate as additive through an oscillating friction and wear tester. They found that the deposited nano-calcium borate and tribochemical compounds such as B2O3, CaO, and iron oxide on the friction surface were the main reasons for the improvement of the anti-wear and bearing capacity of grease. Bai et al. [25] used gallium-based liquid metal as an additive and uniformly added it to grease by means of mechanical stirring and ball milling and verified the improvement of the lubricating ability of the grease by four-ball tests. Graphene has a thin solid lubricating film, so it can effectively reduce friction and adhesion between contact surfaces, and can be used as an excellent anti-wear material [26]. Wang et al. [27] found that graphene as an additive could significantly improve the anti-wear and anti-wear ability of grease. The main reason is that graphene can not only be used as a protective substrate for deposited films but can also promote the formation of Fe2O3 and Li2O friction films, thus significantly improving the tribological properties of grease. Cheng et al. [28] prepared graphene-based semi-solid grease by a high dispersion mixing method and verified its good lubricating performance by friction tests. Sun et al. [29] verified that grease with graphene and nanographite as additives could effectively slow down the wear degree between steel wires with the help of a steel wire fretting wear testing machine. However, the chemical inertia of graphene and the mutual stacking of π–π bonds between layers make it difficult to uniformly disperse into lubricants, thus limiting its application. Ci et al. [30] produced fluorinated graphene which can be uniformly dispersed into base oil, while the lubricating oil modified by the additive has good wear-reducing characteristics. Due to the oxygen-containing functional groups on the substrate and the edge of the sheet, it is possible to modify graphene oxide to improve its dispersibility in lubricating oil. Fan et al. [31] prepared modified graphene oxide using alkyl imidazole ionic liquids as raw materials by the epoxy ring-opening reaction, cation-π stacking, or the van der Waals reaction. They found that the alkyl imidazole ionic liquid-graphene-rich friction film formed on the sliding surface was the main reason for its use as additive to improve the anti-friction and anti-wear properties of lubricating oils. Paul et al. [32] studied the effect of dodecylamine functionalized graphene as nano-additive on the tribological properties of industrial engine oil based on a UMT-2 friction testing machine and found that the friction film formed by the nano-additive reduced the coefficient of friction between friction pairs.

To sum up, previous scholars mainly studied the mechanical properties and friction and wear characteristics of steel wires and wire ropes. In addition, some scholars realized wear reduction by modifying lubricating grease. However, at present, there has been no research on modifying lubricating oil with lanthanum stearate to improve the anti-friction and anti-wear abilities of wire ropes under complex working conditions. Rare earth metal elements have strong chemical activity due to their special electronic layer structure and low electronegativity. They can diffuse and penetrate the subsurface layers of the friction contact surfaces to improve the structural properties of the materials and promote wear resistance; in addition, the corrosion resistance of the materials was also significantly enhanced. In this paper, first, lanthanum stearate was prepared by the saponification reaction, and its dispersion stability in IRIS was analyzed. Then, the extreme pressure performance, anti-friction, and anti-wear properties of LSMLO were investigated by four-ball friction tests. Finally, the influence of LSMLO on sliding friction and wear characteristics of wire ropes was analyzed by using a self-made wire rope sliding wear test rig.

Wire rope or cable is used for a wide variety of purposes ranging from stationary service, such as guys or stays and suspension cables, to service involving drawing or hoisting heavy loads. In these various services, all degrees of exposure to environmental conditions are encountered. These range from clean, dry conditions in applications such as elevator cables in office buildings, to full exposure to the elements on outdoor equipment. This could include immersion in water that can be encountered on dredging equipment to exposure to corrosive environments, such as acid water,

found in many mining applications. These and other operating factors require that wire ropes be properly lubricated to provide long rope life and maximum protection against rope failure where the safety of people is involved.

A wire rope consists of several strands laid (helically bent, not twisted) around a core. The core can be a rope made of hemp or other fiber, or may be an independent wire rope or strand. Each strand consists of several wires laid around the core, which usually consists of one or more wires but may be a small fiber rope. The number of wires per strand typically ranges from 7 to 37 or more.

Each wire of a wire rope can be in contact with three or more wires over its entire length. Each contact is theoretically along a line, but this line actually widens to a narrow band because of a deformation under load. As load is applied, and as a rope bends or flexes over rollers, sheaves, or drums, stresses are set up that cause the strands and individual wires to move with respect to each other under high contact pressures. Unless lubricating films are maintained in the contact areas, considerable friction and wear result from these movements.

One of the principal causes of wire rope failures is metal fatigue. Bending and tension stresses, repeated many times, cause fatigue. Eventually, individual wires break and the rope is progressively weakened to the extent that it must be removed from service. If lubrication is inadequate, the stresses are increased by high frictional resistance to the movement of the wires over one another, fatigue failures occur more rapidly, and rope life is shortened.

Another principal cause of rope failure is corrosion. This covers both direct attack by corrosive materials, such as acid water that may be encountered in mines, to various forms of rusting. To protect against corrosion, lubricant films that resist displacement by water must be maintained on all wire surfaces.

Wear, deterioration, or drying out of the core result in reduction of the core diameter and loss of support for the strands. The strands then tend to overlap, and severe cutting or nicking of the wires may occur. The lubricant applied in service must be of a type that will penetrate through the strands to the core to minimize friction and wear at the core surface, seal the core against water, and keep it soft and flexible.

During manufacture, wire rope cores are saturated with lubricant. A second lubricant, designed to provide a very tenacious film, is usually applied to the wires and strands to lubricate and protect the wires and to help keep (seal) the lubricant in the core as they are laid up. These lubricants protect the rope during shipment, storage, and installation.

Much of the core lubricant applied during manufacture is squeezed out when the strands are laid, and additional lubricant is lost from both the core and strands as soon as load is applied to a rope. As a result, in-service lubrication must be started almost immediately after a rope is placed in service.

Proper lubrication of wire ropes in service is not easy to accomplish. Some of the types of lubricants required for wire ropes may not be easy to apply, and often wire ropes are somewhat inaccessible. Various methods of applying lubricants are used, including brushing, spraying, pouring on a running section of the rope, drip or force feed applicators, and running the rope through a trough or bath of lubricant. Generally, the method of application is a function of the type of lubricant required to protect a rope under the conditions to which it is exposed.

These requirements necessitate some compromises. Wire rope lubricants may be formulated with asphaltic or petrolatum-based material and contain rust preventives and materials to promote metal wetting and penetration. Diluent products are used in some cases for ease of application. Grease products containing solid lubricants such as graphite or molybdenum disulfide are also used. The challenges with greases are the ability of the lubricant to penetrate to the inner core strands and its attraction for dust and dirt buildup. Wire ropes are often used in applications operating near or on an ocean, bay, river, lake, or other waterway, and as a result require environmentally acceptable wire rope lubricants to minimize their impact on the environment.

A competent person must begin a visual inspection prior to each shift the equipment is used, which must be completed before or during that shift. The inspection must consist of observation of wire ropes (running and standing) that are likely to be in use during the shift for apparent deficiencies, including those listed in paragraph (a)(2) of this section. Untwisting (opening) of wire rope or booming down is not required as part of this inspection.

Significant distortion of the wire rope structure such as kinking, crushing, unstranding, birdcaging, signs of core failure or steel core protrusion between the outer strands.

In running wire ropes: Six randomly distributed broken wires in one rope lay or three broken wires in one strand in one rope lay, where a rope lay is the length along the rope in which one strand makes a complete revolution around the rope.

In rotation resistant ropes: Two randomly distributed broken wires in six rope diameters or four randomly distributed broken wires in 30 rope diameters.

In pendants or standing wire ropes: More than two broken wires in one rope lay located in rope beyond end connections and/or more than one broken wire in a rope lay located at an end connection.

If a deficiency in Category I (see paragraph (a)(2)(i) of this section) is identified, an immediate determination must be made by the competent person as to whether the deficiency constitutes a safety hazard. If the deficiency is determined to constitute a safety hazard, operations involving use of the wire rope in question must be prohibited until:

If the deficiency is localized, the problem is corrected by severing the wire rope in two; the undamaged portion may continue to be used. Joining lengths of wire rope by splicing is prohibited. If a rope is shortened under this paragraph, the employer must ensure that the drum will still have two wraps of wire when the load and/or boom is in its lowest position.

If a deficiency in Category II (see paragraph (a)(2)(ii) of this section) is identified, operations involving use of the wire rope in question must be prohibited until:

The employer complies with the wire rope manufacturer"s established criterion for removal from service or a different criterion that the wire rope manufacturer has approved in writing for that specific wire rope (see § 1926.1417),

If the deficiency is localized, the problem is corrected by severing the wire rope in two; the undamaged portion may continue to be used. Joining lengths of wire rope by splicing is prohibited. If a rope is shortened under this paragraph, the employer must ensure that the drum will still have two wraps of wire when the load and/or boom is in its lowest position.

If the deficiency (other than power line contact) is localized, the problem is corrected by severing the wire rope in two; the undamaged portion may continue to be used. Joining lengths of wire rope by splicing is prohibited. Repair of wire rope that contacted an energized power line is also prohibited. If a rope is shortened under this paragraph, the employer must ensure that the drum will still have two wraps of wire when the load and/or boom is in its lowest position.

Where a wire rope is required to be removed from service under this section, either the equipment (as a whole) or the hoist with that wire rope must be tagged-out, in accordance with § 1926.1417(f)(1), until the wire rope is repaired or replaced.

Wire ropes on equipment must not be used until an inspection under this paragraph demonstrates that no corrective action under paragraph (a)(4) of this section is required.

At least every 12 months, wire ropes in use on equipment must be inspected by a qualified person in accordance with paragraph (a) of this section (shift inspection).

The inspection must be complete and thorough, covering the surface of the entire length of the wire ropes, with particular attention given to all of the following:

Exception: In the event an inspection under paragraph (c)(2) of this section is not feasible due to existing set-up and configuration of the equipment (such as where an assist crane is needed) or due to site conditions (such as a dense urban setting), such inspections must be conducted as soon as it becomes feasible, but no longer than an additional 6 months for running ropes and, for standing ropes, at the time of disassembly.

If the deficiency is localized, the problem is corrected by severing the wire rope in two; the undamaged portion may continue to be used. Joining lengths of wire rope by splicing is prohibited. If a rope is shortened under this paragraph, the employer must ensure that the drum will still have two wraps of wire when the load and/or boom is in its lowest position.

Wire ropes are used for a variety of maritime operations.  Applied onboard all types of marine vessels including ships, large boats, drilling units, etc. these ropes are chosen for their flexibility, breaking strength, resistance to deformation and bending, anti-corrosion and anti-frictional properties.

Wire ropes are mostly utilised for mooring, towing, handling heavy lifts and similar other operations. Due to such profound usage, wire ropes are subject to constant wear and tear.  They are exposed to corrosive seawater, dry and heated working temperatures, high and inconsistent pressures / tensions on wires and strands, chafing and internal wear, etc.

Such adverse work conditions can lead to untimely breakdown of the wire ropes if proper care is not maintained. In order to avoid premature failure of wire ropes, understanding onboard maintenance requirements such as their lubrication is very important.

Steel wire ropes are heavy duty wires wrapped around jointly to form strands. These strands are firmly twisted over the wire rope core to form a final rope. The core of the wire rope is made up of different materials namely nylon, hemp, etc.  The construction of the wire rope is primarily specified by the number of strands and the number of wires in each strand. The arrangement of wires in the strand, type of lay and outer and core material depend on the rope’s indispensable application for onboard usage.

To avoid corrosion, entail a longer life and evade subsequent damage due to consistent wear and tear of the wire ropes, regular and proper lubrication is vital.  Although, marine lubricants are available in abundance the selection of these lubricants has to be with respect to the type of wire ropes to be lubricated. Different lubricants have diverse properties and characteristics.

During the manufacturing process of steel wire ropes, lubrication is carried out in order to protect initial damage to the wire due to corrosion during transportion and stowage. This also reduces the initial wear and tear of the wire ropes.  Wire ropes once used loose the initial lubrication and start “drying up”. Therefore, to maximize the shelf life of the ropes which are subject to usage and stowage conditions, regular re-lubrication is required. Shipboard maintenance charts such as ‘Planned Maintenance Systems’ should include wire rope lubrication at frequent intervals and also take account of the type of lubricants applicable for the category of wire ropes onboard.

Before lubricating wire ropes onboard one must ensure that grit, sand, old lubricant layers are considerably removed using wire brushes, compressed air, or relevant solvents. Brushing, painting and swabbing are the most common application techniques used onboard. These methods, however, do not provide adequate penetration to the wire rope core. In order to provide good penetration to the core of the rope, pressurised lubricators are used.

Lubricants most commonly used on board for maintenance purposes have a high penetration rate and melting point, rust protection and inhibition properties, adhesive and semi-drying film when applied, and be used in all climates. These lubricants that are used for various shipboard applications are easily available in the market.

‘Asphalt’ based lubricants that are the most frequently used lubricants on ships are viscous in nature. These types of lubricants are often premixed with an inflammable solvent, which can be applied easily and has penetrating properties. These products are applied on the wire ropes by way of brushing, swabbing or painting. Some of the ‘Asphalt’ based lubricants require heating which are prone to becoming frail when in low temperatures and may lead to ‘dripping’ in heated climates.

‘Paraffin Wax’ based lubricants are another set of products that can be used for wire rope maintenance. These wax based products are generally used without additives or solvents which means they are to be melted before application. They too are applied over the wire ropes by either brushing or swabbing.

‘Synthetic Oil’ based lubricants are considered to be the best of them all. They are high performance multi-fits generally applied with lithium based additives / solvents for providing adequate viscosity and thickness, contain anti-corrosive compounds with rust inhibitors and are water-resistant. These special lubricants are applied over wire ropes using pressurised lubricators for forced penetration.

In addition, there are other excellent products used lubricating wire ropes depending on the application methods and their overall structure and composition. Choosing the right lubrication for wire ropes on ships is as important as scheduled planned maintenance.

Prevent gear damage, such as scoring or pitting, and wear and eccentric deformation of wire ropes, thanks to their excellent load bearing and adherence properties.

Wire ropes can be seen everywhere around us, they are made of strands or bundles of individual wires constructed around an independent core, suitable for construction, industrial, fitness, commercial, architectural, agricultural, and marine rigging applications.

Wire rod is made from high carbon steel wires(0.35 to 0.85 percent carbon) in a hot rolling process of a required diameter, usually from 5.5mm to 8 mm.

Wire rod is drawn to the required diameter by the 1st drawing machine after descaling dust and rust, adding mechanical properties suitable for application.

Positioning the wires different or the same size lay in multiple layers and same direction, or cross lay and diameter is maintained by one-third of the rope size.

So in theory, it is very simple to manufacture wire ropes. However there are many more details that must be closely monitored and controlled, and this requires time and experienced personnel since it is a super complicated project you cannot imagine.
