The Importance of Regular Inspection of Steel Wire Ropes

Strictly speaking, the characteristics of steel wire ropes gradually begin to decrease after they are delivered for use. Therefore, throughout its entire application process, it is necessary to conduct inspections at each location. It is essential to carry out timely and careful work in areas where these practical experiences are very prone to damage. After the steel wire rope is subjected to sudden loads, it is important to be very careful when entering and leaving the moving pulley, rope groove, and other parts of the steel wire rope.

Steel wire ropes are subjected to various stresses during operation, such as static stress, dynamic stress, bending stress, twisted stress, contact stress, extrusion forming, and twisting stress. The continuous effects of these stresses will cause fatigue and breakage of steel wire ropes. In addition, damage and rust are key factors that accelerate wire breakage. Therefore, the steel wire rope should be inspected on time and any broken wires should be properly handled. Otherwise, the development trend of the situation will become faster, and more serious accidents such as rope breakage may occur. During the entire inspection process, it is stipulated that the staff must carefully and meticulously inspect and keep detailed and clear inspection records.
