• Measure the nylon sheaves in the gantry and the
equalizer for excessive tread wear (see Figure 5-27
). To
check for uneven wear, measure at three places.
Wear must not exceed the limit given. Replace worn or
damaged sheaves.
- Depending on the type of wire rope used, it is
normal for nylon sheaves to show the wire rope
print. Do not remachine the nylon sheaves.
- Nylon sheaves cannot be accurately inspected
using conventional methods such as sheave
gauges.
- Due to the characteristics of nylon sheaves, the
nylon material will actually move to better
support the wire rope as the sheave wears
normally.
- Nylon sheave properties will be degraded in
temperatures above 60°C (140°F).
B = tread diameter, new sheave
E = tread diameter, used sheave
B minus E = total wear
If total wear is 5 mm (3/16 in) or more, sheave should be replaced.
If a tread print exists in root of sheave groove, measure to maximum tread diameter.
