Sheaves are widely used throughout the industry for a variety of pulling and lifting functions. Sheaves are available in a variety of materials including steel, plastic, or stainless steel. There are many configurations available including HiLoad sheaves, LoLoad sheaves, fibrous rope sheaves, and wire rope sheaves. You can source sheaves with bearings or bushings and some sheaves come very specialized.

HiLOAD indicates a premium, larger diameter sheave suitable for 180° degree rope turns (see Figure 1) with a high D/d ratio, which is the ratio of the diameter around which the rope is bent, divided by the body diameter of the rope (see Figure 3). LoLOAD indicates a smaller diameter sheave designed for economical small deflection turns less than 90 degrees with a lower D/d ratio (see Figure 2).

Work load is important for both wire rope and fibrous rope sheaves, but work load limit (WLL) is critical with wire rope sheaves due to the comparative increased capacity of wire rope.

Quality sheaves should meet ASME B30.26-2610 and exceed the minimum 4:1 design factor. In most instances, the WLL for Suncor sheaves is significantly higher than comparable products and proof loads (or max WLL) are twice the WLL. Generally, twice the WLL of the wire represents the wire maximum load with a 180° wire wrap around the sheave.

A critical, and often overlooked area, is the wear exerted on the sheave during use. Throat angle, groove diameter, and sheave size are three significant factors of wear for sheaves. Sheaves are often designed with thin straight sided grooves which can cause scrubbing on the side walls and unnecessary wear on the rope and the sheave (see Figure 6). Suncor’s sheaves were designed with wide sheave grooves that provide a proper throat angle to permit slight rope lead misalignment without damaging the rope or wearing the sheave groove (see Figure 5).

The groove diameter is critical for proper wire rope support under load and has a significant effect on the overall safety and lifespan of the sheave and rope. If the sheave groove diameter has too much clearance, it will not support the rope properly leading to distortion, increased fatigue, failure, and costly repair. Conversely, if the sheave groove diameter has too little clearance the rope will not fit properly causing excessive wear and accelerated abrasion, which results in lost performance (see Figure 7).

Our team understands that choosing the right cable assembly manufacturer, and pulleys for your cable assemblies requires thoughtful consideration, from bearing life, to minimum pulley diameter. Let Sava"s engineering expertise guide you toward the best selection of wire rope pulley wheels.

When cable is used over pulleys, the cable life can be significantly prolonged by proper pulley groove design. Laboratory tests on wire rope pulleys prove that improper groove design reduces cable bending life up to 90%. These same tests show that doubling a pulley diameter can increase cable bending life up to thirteen times what is otherwise typical. Also, pulley diameters less than sixteen rope diameters fall into a range in which cable life is relatively low.

Sheaves facilitate the smooth and safe operation of overhead crane hoists. Damaged sheaves can wear ropes prematurely and cause other dangerous hazards, such as binding wire rope. Konecranes technicians are trained to identify and correct problems with sheaves and other parts of hoisting equipment.

Sheaves carrying ropes which can be momentarily unloaded shall be provided with close-fitting guards or other suitable devices to guide the rope back into the groove when the load is applied again.

The sheaves in the bottom block shall be equipped with close-fitting guards that will prevent ropes from becoming fouled when the block is lying on the ground with ropes loose.

In using hoisting ropes, the crane manufacturer"s recommendation shall be followed. The rated load divided by the number of parts of rope shall not exceed 20 percent of the nominal breaking strength of the rope.

Rope clips attached with U-bolts shall have the U-bolts on the dead or short end of the rope. Spacing and number of all types of clips shall be in accordance with the clip manufacturer"s recommendation. Clips shall be drop-forged steel in all sizes manufactured commercially. When a newly installed rope has been in operation for an hour, all nuts on the clip bolts shall be retightened.

Wherever exposed to temperatures, at which fiber cores would be damaged, rope having an independent wirerope or wire-strand core, or other temperature-damage resistant core shall be used.

Replacement rope shall be the same size, grade, and construction as the original rope furnished by the crane manufacturer, unless otherwise recommended by a wire rope manufacturer due to actual working condition requirements.

While sheaves may be a relatively small piece of hardware, they play a crucial part in mechanical engineering and lifting equipment. They are used in tandem with a rope, belt, or cable to lift items with a crane.

Essentially, a sheave is a wheel with an open groove that a rope or cable fits around so it can rotate around the exterior. One end of the cable is attached to an item that needs to be moved, while the other is attached to a fixed object, like the base of a crane. The cable smoothly moves over the wheel of the sheave as it is wound up on the fixed object, lifting the other object into the air.

Sheaves are also commonly known as pulleys, and when two or more pulleys are used together for extra strength, this is known as a sheave block. Rope pulleys were actually used as far back as the 1500s in order to hoist water out of wells, and they were likely used to lift and move heavy rocks that created Stonehenge in the UK.

You certainly want to purchase a sheave block that is durable and strong enough for whatever task you will be using it on. You also want to look out for a sheave with a smooth radius to reduce friction between the pulley metal and the cable or rope. It is also best to buy a sheave with rounded outside diameters as any sharp corners could damage or wear down the rope as it slides over the pulley.

A bearing is an axle inside of the pulley which helps to minimize friction as the cable or rope moves back and forth within the sheave block. There are several different types of bearings that are used for different applications.

There are also different shapes and styles of the grooves within the sheaves. These different styles are made to accommodate different types of ropes or cables, and it is best to choose a groove size that is 5% to 10% wider than the diameter of the rope used.

It is also very important to keep tabs on the groove’s wear and tear. Over time, it can wear down, especially if they are used with wire rope products – which cause additional abrasions. Excessive wear can break down ropes and cables much quicker.

There are also different shape styles of grooves. U-shared profiles are best for use with ropes since it prevents any pinching and allows the rounded shape to glide smoothly. V-shaped profiles are best for wire slings and cables.

As the name implies, normal duty sheaves are designed for moderate weight loads and “normal” duty applications. These sheaves are available in 76mm through 406mm (3” to 16”) wide sheaves and are often protected with sheave guards so the rope or wire being used stays in place.

There are five distinct types of bearing options on normal duty sheaves. Bearings are smaller circular pieces of metal that fit inside of the pulley to help it rotate.

Normal duty sheaves are made from machined ductile iron, which offers distinct advantages over other types of metals –, particularly steel. Ductile iron has a higher silicon content, which offers it more machinability and will often last longer than tools made of steel.

Heavy-duty sheave blocks are best for heavy-duty applications with thicker ropes and cables and heavier weight bearings. They are available in 102 mm through 305 mm (4” through 12”), and are often used in work environments where the sheave block will be operating continuously.

Heavy-duty sheaves use closed die forging, which means that the hot metal is poured on dies (or molds) and forged into particular shapes. This helps to strengthen the shape of the tool since it does not need to be welded together in multiple pieces.

Domed sheaves are reinforced for extreme duty applications. These sheave blocks are welded in a circular pattern, which reduces additional stresses made by welding ribs. Domed sheaves are also the largest and are available in 610 mm (24”) and larger sizes.

Far too often, wire rope and cable products fail to last nearly as long as expected. While wire ropes and cables constructed from low-quality materials can sometimes contribute to premature failure, often it is because the wrong sheaves and pulleys are used in the application. Thankfully, Strand Coreprovides a radius guide to ensure you are pairing the suitable sheaves and pulleys for your wire rope and cable products. Read more to learn about the best size sheaves and pulleys for wire and cable.

There are two considerations for sheaves and pulleys when trying to increase wire rope and cable service life. One is to make sure the cable and wire rope is operating over the largest possible sheave or pulley diameter. The reason large pulleys are recommended is because large pulleys provide a less intense angle for rope to make, putting less stress on cable, whilst choosing a small pulley means the rope will have to turn a sharp corner adding stress to your cable and wire rope, causing damage over time.The second consideration is to ensure cable and wire rope is supported correctly in the groove of the sheave or pulley. When the cable is not properly supported in the pulley groove, it becomesdented, crushed, and damaged, which severely reduces its service life.

It is important to remember that the working life of individual wire strands is significantly reduced as the pulley or sheave diameter is reduced. Strand Core provides a chart that shows minimum tread diameters over which various constructions and sizes of cable should operate.

For each cable diameter, there is a sheave and pulley desired minimum and a critical minimum. For example, cables sized 1/16”, which are typically 6x7 or 7x7 construction, have the desired minimum ratio of 4:1 and a critical minimum ratio of 28:1. Furthermore, the desired minimum pulley or sheave size for a 1/16” cable is 2/5/8”, and the critical minimum is 1-3/4”. To look at sheaves and pulleys desired and critical minimum for other cable sizes and constructions, you can check out our extensive guide here.

The key takeaway is sheaves and pulleys play a big role in wire rope and cable service life. Understanding the importance of using large pulleys and following the desired and critical minimum guide provided by Strand Core results in your wire rope and cable lasting for many years!

Selecting the right size for sheaves will help prevent frequent wire rope damage which in some instances occurs after just one run. Many common operational issues including the wireline getting dislodged or losing its strength are caused by improper sheave sizing and alignment problems. Our experts offer 3 valuable tips to eliminate stress failure, improve equipment safety and efficiency, as well as increase the lifespan of your sheaves and wire rope.

Pay attention to sheave groove size and diameter: When sheaves for your wire rope are too large or too small, there is greater stress on both resulting in spooling trouble and premature wear. For instance, grooves that are too large have proven to cause the wire rope to flatten and unbalance leading to the wire breaking. When properly sized, the groove provides maximum support to the rope lowering the sheave bearing pressure and increasing sheave and rope lifespan. Typically the groove diameter should exceed that of the wire rope by 5% while groove depth should be one-and-a-half times the rope diameter. A groove angle between 30° and 45° offers the best support for the wire rope. Specific dimensions and angles may vary depending on your application.

Ensure sheave groove hardness: The hardness of sheaves is a factor that is often overlooked. Since the wire rope is hard, the pressure it exerts on the groove can lead to corrugations if the sheave is not properly hardened. To avoid this, ensure your steel cable sheaves are flame hardened. (A simple way to determine if your grooves are worn out is by using a sheave gauge.) At Rockett Inc., we can provide flame hardening for wear resistance along the contact area.

Correct sheave groove alignment: Poor alignment of your sheaves wears out the wire rope and sheave flange. This is because the rope comes into constant contact with the flange creating stress on the rope, abrasion damage and fatigue breaks. Any alignment issues should be corrected immediately.

To avoid operational problems, opt for custom made steel sheaves. This way the sheaves for your wire ropes are tailored to your specific requirements instead of the other way around. As an experienced sheave manufacturer with a state-of-the-art facility in Mississippi, Rockett Inc. offers comprehensive custom solutions for diverse industrial and commercial needs.
