Steel Wire rope is a very complex machinery element which primary function is the transmission of tensile forces. Its basic constructional design allows repeated changes in the direction of pull through reeving systems incorporating drums and sheaves. General purpose wire ropeshave been developed and standardized in national and international standards . However the increasing demand for higher breaking strength, greater flexibility, better rotation resistance , and extended rope life cannot be met by such general purpose steel wire ropeconstructions. Horizon Cable is a stocking distributor for Python Wire Rope, which through research, development and engineering over many years has developed rope constructions that have significantly improved operating life. There are vast array of applications that Python Wire Rope can be installed by Horizon Cable Service in Oklahoma, Texas, Wyoming, Kansas, North Dakota and New Mexico to improve service life. Below are a few of the proven applications for our high performance wire ropes:

One benefit to High Performance Wire Rope is the increased breaking strength over standard wire ropes. This is achieved in the manufacturing process by compaction processes. Standard ropes are drawn which create a round outer circumference, but compacted ropes have flat outer service. The two types of compaction are STRAND COMPACTION and SWAGE COMPACTION. Strand compaction is the most popular, in this process the compaction is applied to the individual wires, where the swage compaction is applied to the entire wire rope itself. Both have their advantages for particular applications.

Rotation resistant ropes can fall under three different classes Spin Resistant, Rotation Resistant, and Non Rotating. In all of these types of wire ropes the outer layer is twisted opposite for the inner layers. Rotation resistant and spin resistant ropes will have one inner layer, while non-rotating lines will have multiple inner strands rotating a different direction from the outers.

6 strand high strength swage compacted rope that is perfect for applications that require a crush resistant rope to be used in multi-layer winding systems; e.g. boom hoist on lattice boom mobile and tower cranes

Python Compac 18 is recommended for bot multipart load and single part applications where medium rotational stability is needed. Use as main and auxiliary hoist line on Grove, link belt, Manitowoc, Terex and other us made mobile and truck cranes. Also used very successfully as a pulling rope on underground cable pulling winches.

Main and auxiliary hoist line for European type mobile and for all types of construction tower cranes which require a high strength rotation resistant rope construction. Excellent rotation resistant properties make this rope the preferred choice for all single and multiple line reeving systems.

Fulfilling the technical parameters when producing a high performance steel wire rope is only the first step on the road to success. Our knowledge about the professional use of a steel wire rope on site collected over many years is the key to the economic efficiency of a port crane. Crane wire-ropes from Teufelberger-Redaelli, provide a substantially reduction of overall expenses because we know what’s important: safety and a long service life due to flexibility, , high bending fatigue resistance, perfect spooling characteristics, constant quality and reliability. .

soLITE® by TEUFELBERGER, the first-ever fiber rope featuring a steel wire rope construction, impresses its users by providing 10% more in loading capacity and 80% less in weight than its steel counterparts. Developed together with the crane specialists at LIEBHERR, it has already taken the place of steel wire ropes in challenging lifting applications.

The cable on a crane moves through a series of motorized pulleys that are controlled by the crane operator to raise and lower items. For safety reasons, a crane usually has several wire rope cables that are attached to the object being lifted. This helps to prevent putting too much strain on a single cable.

To create wire rope cable, manufacturers begin with long strips of high tensile strength metal that are tightly woven together into strands. A large majority of wire rope cables are constructed using steel due to its durability and strength. Several strands are then spun and pressed tightly together into a helix using a machine.

The newly created wire rope cable is then rolled up onto a spool and shipped out, or it is rolled up onto a pulley to be used with a brand new piece of heavy equipment.

Stationary ropes bear tensile forces and are loaded with fluctuating levels of stress. These are the types of cables that would be found on a suspension bridge.

Finally, wire rope slings (also called stranded ropes) are used to harness all kinds of goods. These are bent over sharp edges of goods to hold them in place.

Wire rope manufacturers produce their products in order to provide a high load capacity, versatile alternative to weaker ropes like manila rope or hemp rope. Wire rope products are used for a wide variety of motion transmission applications, among them: lifting, baling, tie down, hoisting, hauling, towing, mooring, anchoring, rigging, cargo control, guidance and counterbalance. They can also be used as railing, fencing and guardrailing.

Wire rope is a must-have for many heavy duty industrial applications. From mining to forestry to marine and beyond, there’s wire rope for almost every job. Some of the many industries in which wire rope is popular include: construction, agriculture, marine, industrial manufacturing, fitness, sports and recreation (plastic coated cables for outdoor playground equipment and sports equipment), electronics, theater (black powder coated cables for stage rigging), mining, gas and oil, transportation, security, healthcare and consumer goods.

Wire rope as we know it was invented just under 200 years ago, between 1831 and 1834. At that time, the goal was to create a rope strong enough to support work in the mines of the Harz Mountains. Invented by Wilhelm Albert, a German mining engineer, this wire rope consisted on four three-stranded wires. It was much stronger than older rope varieties, such as manila rope, hemp rope and metal chain rope.

While studying at Freiburg School of Mines, a man named L.D.B. Gordon visited the mines in the Harz Mountains, where he met Albert. After he left, Gordon wrote to his friend Robert Stirling Newall, urging him to create a machine for manufacturing wire ropes. Newall, of Dundee, Scotland, did just that, designing a wire rope machine that made wire ropes with four strands, consisting of four wires each. After Gordon returned to Dundee, he and Newall, along with Charles Liddell, formed R.S. Newall and Company. In 1840, Newall received a patent for “certain improvements in wire rope and the machinery for making such rope.”

In 1841, an American manufacturer named John A. Roebling began producing wire rope for suspension bridges. Soon after, another set of Americans, Josiah White and Erskine Hazard, started incorporating wire rope into coal mining and railroad projects, forming Lehigh Coal & Navigation Company (LC&N Co.). In 1848, wire rope from their wire rope factory in Mauch Chunk, Pennsylvania provided the lift cables needed to complete the Ashley Planes Project. This project sought to improve the performance and appearance of the freight railroad that ran through Ashley, Pennsylvania, by adding lift cables. This increased tourism and increased the railroad’s coal capacity. Before, cars took almost four hours to return; after, they took less than 20 minutes.

Wire rope likewise changed the landscape (again) in Germany, in 1874, when an engineering firm called Adolf Bleichert & Co. used wire rope to build Bi-cable aerial tramways. These allowed them to mine the Ruhr Valley. Several years later, they also used wire rope to build tramways for the German Imperial Army and the Wehrmacht. These tramways were wildly successful, opening up roads in Germany and all over Europe and the USA.

Since the 1800s, manufacturers and engineers have found ways to improve wire rope, through stronger materials and material treatments, such as galvanization, and different rope configurations. Today, wire rope makes possible many heavy industrial processes. It has become a necessity of the modern world.

Strands are made by tightly twisting or braiding individual wire together. One strand could have anywhere between two and several dozen wire filaments depending on the necessary strength, flexibility, and weight capacity.

One of the most dynamic elements of wire cables is the inner core. The strands are wrapped around the core, and it can be made of different metals, fibers, or even impregnated fiber materials. For heavy applications, cores are often made of a different strand of wire called an independent wire rope core (IWRC). An IWRC has a considerable amount of flexibility and it is still very strong. In fact, at least 7.5% of the strength increase in a wire rope can be attributed to an IWRC.

While they sometimes use other metals, like aluminum, nickel, copper, titanium, and even bronze for some applications, manufacturers primarily produce wire rope from steel. This is because steel is very strong and stretchable. Among the most common types they use are: galvanized wire, bright wire, stainless steel and cold drawn steel.

Of the wire rope steels, cold drawn carbon steel wire is most popular, although stainless steel wire rope is sometimes employed as well. Stainless steel rope is most popular for its anti-corrosive properties. Bright wire rope, a type of ungalvanized steel wire rope, is also popular. For added strength and durability, galvanized steel wire rope/galvanized steel cables are a very popular choice. Galvanized aircraft cable, for example, is always a must in aerospace.

When choosing or designing a custom wire rope for your application, suppliers consider factors such as: the environment in which the rope will function, required rust resistance, required flexibility, temperature resistance, required breaking strength and wire rope diameter. To accommodate your needs, manufacturers can do special things like: make your rope rotation resistant, color code your rope, or add a corrosion resistant coating. For instance, sometimes they specially treat and coat a cable with plastic or some other compound for added protection. This is particularly important to prevent fraying if the wire rope is often in motion on a pulley.

Manufacturers and distributors identify the differences in wire cable by listing the number of strands and the amount of wires per strand so that anyone that orders understand the strength of the cable. Sometimes they are also categorized by their length or pitch. Common examples of this include: 6 x 19, 6 x 25, 19 x 7, 7 x 19, 7 x 7, 6 x 26 and 6 x 36.

More complex wire rope identification codes connote information like core type, weight limit and more. Any additional hardware like connectors, fasteners, pulleys and fittings are usually listed in the same area to show varying strengths and degrees of fray prevention.

Cable wire rope is a heavy-duty wire rope. To give it its high strength, manufacturers construct it using several individual filaments that are twisted in strands and helically wrapped around the core. A very common example of cable wire rope is steel cable.

Spiral rope is made up an assemblage of wires with round or curved strands. The assemblage features at least one outer layer cord pointed in the opposite direction of the wire. The big advantage of spiral ropes is the fact that they block moisture, water and pollutants from entering the interior of the rope.

Similarly, stranded rope steel wire is made up of an assemblage of spirally wound strands. Unlike spiral rope, though, its wire patterns have crisscrossing layers. These layers create an exceptionally strong rope. Stranded rope may have one of three core material types: wire rope, wire strand or fiber.

Wire rope chain, like all chains, is made up of a series of links. Because it is not solid, wire rope chain is quite flexible. At the same time, it is prone to mechanical failure.

Wire rope slings are made from improved plow wire steel, a strong steel wire that offers superior return loop slings and better security. The plow wire steel also shields rope at its connection points, which extends its working life. Wire rope slings, in general, provide their applications with increased safety, capacity and performance. Wire rope sling is a rope category that encompasses a wide range of sub-products, such as permaloc rope sling, permaloc bridle slings and endless slings. These and other wire rope slings may be accompanied by a wide variety of sling terminations, such as thimbles, chokers and hooks.

Wire rope offers its user many advantages. First, design of even distribution of weight among strands makes it ideal for lifting extremely heavy loads. Second, wire rope is extremely durable and, when matched properly to the application, can withstand great stress and elements like corrosion and abrasion. In addition, it is very versatile. Its many iterations and the ways in which the rope can treated means that users can get rope custom fit for virtually any application.

Depending on the type of wire rope with which you are working and your application, you may want to invest in different accessories. Among these accessories are: wire rope clips, steel carabiners, fittings, fasteners and connections.

To ensure that your wire rope quality remains high, you must regularly inspect them for wear and degradation. The right wire rope should be selected for a particular use. Watch out for performance-impacting damage like: rust, fraying and kinks. To make sure that they stay in tip-top shape, you should also clean and lubricate them as needed. Check for this need as a part of your regular inspection.

Rope care is about more than inspection. It’s also about making an effort to use and store them properly every time you use them. For example, never exceed your rope’s rated load and breaking strength. Doing so will not only cause the weakening of your cable, but it may even cause immediate breakage. In addition, always store your wire rope cable in a dry and warm area, away from those elements that could cause premature rusting or other damage. Finally, always carefully wind your wire rope when you’re done with it, so as to avoid kinks. If you follow all these tips and treat your wire rope assemblies well, they will reward you with a long and productive service life.

Always make sure that you purchase wire rope that matches your industry and regional standards. Some of the most widely referenced standards organizations for wire rope include: ISO, ASTM International and OSHA. Talk over your specifications and application with your wire rope supplier to figure out what’s best for you.

There are many types of cranes which require the use ropes and cables, there are also many types of rope constructions with varying properties, which means there are many things to consider when purchasing new crane ropes.

Overhead cranes, mobile cranes, all terrain cranes, crawler cranes, tower cranes, gantry cranes, off-shore pedestal cranes, dredger cranes, piling cranes, harbour cranes, and container cranes all use wire crane ropes, some cranes use more than one. You can find some helpful information on thesafe use of cranes here.

Crane ropes can be used for main hoist rope, boom rope, derrick rope & closing rope. Grab rope, hoist rope, tower erection rope, boom rope and trolley rope are other examples. Matching the ideal rope for your type of crane and application is not so easy. This is because no single rope will fit all requirements. For example no one rope is fatigue resistant, crush resistant, abrasion resistant and rotation resistant. Nor have the necessary breaking strength, rope diameter and/or rope structure stability. So choosing the right rope may require a little research.

Good examples are: boom hoists should be crush resistant. Clam shell closing lines must be resistant to bend fatigue, whilst overhead crane hoist rope requires strength and stability. For a container crane hoist rope or trolley rope the rope will need to be a combination of resistance to bending and abrasion as well as fatigue resistance. Tower erection rope should be rotation resistant. Trolley rope needs low elongation properties and boom hoist rope needs high flexibility and breaking load strength.

It is usually recommended to choose a crane wire rope that is an exact or close match to the original rope supplied with the crane by the manufacturer, or else choose more superior crane ropes.

A crane ropes strength is generally referred to as the minimum breaking load or force (MBL). It is possible to increase the MBL for most rope diameters in two ways:

By increasing the tensile strength of the actual wire used during the manufacturing process the MBL will increase. 1770N/mm², 1960N/mm² & 2160N/mm² are common wire tensile grades used in crane ropes. It is also feasible to raise the steel fill factor of the rope to increase its strength further. The fill factor measures cross sectional areas of the rope.

A more effective way of increasing the strength of a rope is to compact them. The individual strands may be compacted which reduces the number of voids throughout the rope. It also increases the surface contact area. This type of compacted wire rope has many other benefits which are discussed on our compacted wire rope page. Lower stress levels take place when conventional ropes are changed for compacted wire ropes. Frequently resulting in easier operation and longer working life. This is why the majority of our crane ropes are compacted.

The correct diameter is crucial to performance on a crane. A wire rope which is too big or too small for the drum and sheaves will increase wear and fatigue. This could cause premature rope failure. Additionally it is crucial that you make sure the diameter is consistent over the length of the rope. Inconsistency could cause wire breaks and shorten the ropes life. The use of compacted rope enables the same strength as a standard rope of the same construction but with a smaller diameter. It is always wise to select a rope with the same diameter as the original.

When choosing a crane rope, a wire core as opposed to a fibre core will improve its resistance to crushing. This is important when sheaves and drum winding is used.

This is the capability of the rope to tolerate repetitive bending under constant or variable loads. This is possibly one of the most important properties of a crane rope due to its use with sheaves. As loads increase when a reeving system is used the fatigue rate will also increase.

Non-rotating wire rope is an ordinary or reverse lay rope and possesses qualities so that each wire rope structure will possess natural torque properties. This is where both ends of the rope are secured and an applied force will create torque on the fixing points. The torque produced will depend on the scale of the force applied as well as on the construction of the crane ropes.

It is important to note that single layer Langs lay ropes possess dreadful rotational properties. And so should only be utilised where both ends are firmly fixed.

The primary reason for abrasive wear on crane ropes is brought on by other apparatus like winding drums and sheaves. This is because the rope wears between adjoining laps when wound on or off the drum. Selecting compacted rope may minimise this kind of wear and tear.

Whilst selecting crane wire rope, keep in mind that the bigger the outer wires the better resistance to wear and abrasion. Therefore ropes with the lower the number i.e. 6x19 will be better than a higher number i.e. 6x36 when utilised where wear and abrasion are the key reason for rope deterioration as opposed to bend fatigue.

Again a compacted rope with its smoother surface will offer a wider bearing surface to conventional rope, this leads to improved resistance to wear and abrasion.

If crane ropes are going to be utilised in a place where corrosive substances are used then it’s best to select a rope which has a galvanized finish. A ‘P.I.R.’ or plastic impregnated wire ropes are most suitable for severe craning operations, or plastic coated wire rope will also help to avoid corrosion.

When lubricating your rope with a high performance lubricant has a major effect regarding the life of the rope, especially in relation to bend resistance. Lubricating the wire rope additionally minimizes abrasive wear and extends fatigue life
