Installation of a New Wire Rope
The wire rope is given a natural bend or winding from the
coil. If the wire rope is on a reel, unwind the wire rope from
the reel or coil as shown in Figure 11-6. Use care to prevent
reverse bend in the wire rope.
1. Make sure that the equipment (drum, sheaves, etc.) are
in good condition.
2. Unwind enough rope from the reel to connect the wire
rope to the hoist drum. Use care to prevent twists or
sharp bends.
3. Operate the hoist slowly to move the wire rope directly
from the reel to the hoist drum. Keep the wire rope under
tension and make sure the wire rope winds correctly on
the drum. Loose windings will increase wear on the wire
rope and cause bad performance.
4. After installation, operate the hoist with a minimum load
until you see the wire rope is moving easily over the
sheaves and is winding correctly on the hoist drum.
5. Gradually increase the speed and load until the wire
rope is moving at normal load and speed. This run-in
period adjusts the moving parts to each other.
