sheave size for wire rope for sale

The service life of cable and wire rope can be increased if (1) it operates over the largest possible pulley or sheave diameter, and (2) it is properly supported in the pulley or sheave groove. The working life of the individual wire strands is greatly reduced as the pulley or sheave diameter is diminished. The chart below shows minimum tread diameters over which various sizes and constructions of cable should operate.

Generally, we recommend grooved drums only. The rope is spooled properly and positively. Depending on the drum/rope diameter relationship helix-grooved drums can be used for up to 3 layers without excessive rope wear. For applications with more than 3 layers (e.g. Mobile cranes) we recommend ‘Lebus’ grooving.

It has to be remembered, however, that rope service life on multiple layer drum systems will always only be a fraction of that compared with single layer helix-grooved drums.

If these values are applied to single layer grooved drums the maximum permissible rope-deflection angle for regular wire rope constructions is 4°. For non rotating /rotation-resistant ropes the maximum permissible deflection angle is 1.5° only.

The depth of groove should be selected so that the rope does not rub against the flange of the sheave or each other while entering running or leaving the groove. Angle of circular arc of the bottom of groove should not be less than 120 Degrees.

The grooves on the drum should be pitched so that there is clearance between neighboring turns of rope on that drum. The recommended clearances are 1.5 mm up to rope diameter of 28 mm and 3 mm for rope diameter above 28 mm.

The groove diameter of the pulley or sheave should always be larger then actual diameter of the rope. But if the groove diameter is too large the rope will tend to flatten and if it is too small pinching or rope will take place. The correct positioning is explained as under along with the tolerance and clearances on pully or sheave groove diameters.
