3 EN Ropes Grade Rope grade addresses the nominal tensile strength grades of the outer and inner wires. Additionally, the rope grade defines the minimum breaking force of this rope 1570 grade 1370/1770 grade 5 Strand: 6 or 8 Configuration Core: Two types of cores are used: A. Fibre Core (Natural or Synthetic) B. Steel Wire Core i.e. independent wire rope core (IWRC) 6

9 Lay Length of Lay Each strands in a wire rope is helical in shape. The distance measured parallel to the axis or the centre line of a rope in which the strand makes one complete spiral around the rope is the length of rope lay x 19 S NFC 1370/1770 U sz 13: 13 mm nominal rope diameter 8: 8 strands 19: 19 wire per strand S: Strand construction Seale NFC: Natural Fibre Core 1370/1770: Dual Tensile Outer wires: 1370N/mm2 Inner wires: 1770N/mm2 U: Wire finish: Bright (uncoated) sz(lay): ordinary lay right hand 18

10 Nominal Tensile strength grade of wires Nominal tensile strength grade in Germany is usually 1570 USA, Japan and many European countries know and use elevator ropes of dual tensile rope grade To come along with sheaves of often minor quality, the outer wires are then of lower tensile strength grade Ropes for roped hydraulic elevators are preferably supplied with rope grade BS6570 (The selection, care and maintenance of steel wire ropes) 90% of the nominal diameter in the case of six and eight strand ropes; Corrosion and chemical attack 20

12 Notes If wire fracture don t occur in regular pattern across the majority of the strands but are concentrated in one or two strands, the above table is not applicable Such ropes must be replaced, if there are 5 or more broken wires adjacent to each other within one strand Ropes with excessive crown wear tend to show rapidly increasing numbers of broken wires 23 Measurement of wire ropes Right Way: Set the machinist's caliper to read the widest diameter. Wrong Way: This is the wrong way to measure wire rope diameter. Widest diameter is not being read. 24

13 Trade Practice Wires A (Even Distribution on each of strands) B (Focus on one Strand) 6 x x Trade practice Reduction in diameter If the diameter of suspension rope is smaller than the following figures, the rope shall be arranged to replace: Rope diameter(mm) Max. allowable diameter(mm) % diameter (mm)

Traction strength B. Traction Sheave C. Suspension Ropes 30

16 How to measurement the tension By equipment By hand By calculation 31 By Equipment

17 By Equipment By Equipment

18 By Calculation Method 1. Go into the car top and stop the car at the lowest floor (if the travelling is over 40M, the car shall be stopped at mid floor); 2. Use the plastic hammer hit the rope at the point 1M height from the termination; 3. The time shall be measured 5 nos. of completed oscillation; 4. Following the procedures of (2) & (3) for each of ropes and record all the data; 35 By Calculation Method 5) Select the max and min. time and calculate by the formula 6) If the calculation figure is greater than on 0.2, the tension of the ropes shall be adjusted. 36

19 Lift Traction Inspection Traction Formula T 1 /T 2 x C 1 x C 2 e fα Remark: T 1 /T 2 - Ratio ration between the greater and the smaller static force in parts of the rope located on either side of traction sheave. C 1 - Coefficient taking account of the acceleration, deceleration and specific conditions of the installation. C 2 Coefficient taking account of the variation in profile of the traction sheave groove due to wear 37 Friction Factor 38

23 Traction calculation - 1 T 1 /T 2 C 1 x C 2 e fα Condition: 1. Car stationary at the lowest landing with a load equivalent to 125% (150% for industrial truck loaded freight lift or vehicle lift) 2. Car stationary at the highest landing level, unload 45 Traction calculation - 2 T 1 /T 2 C 1 x C 2 e fα Condition: 3. It shall not possible to raise the empty car when the counterweight is resting on the buffers, and the lift machine is rotated in the up direction 46

24 Checking of the traction Make sure the balance load correctly This check may be means of measurements of current 47 T 1 /T 2 C 1 xc 2 e fα At each emergency stopping test, complete stoppage of the car shall occur: At ascending, with the car empty, in the upper part of the travel At descending, with the car loaded with 125% of the rated load, in the lower part of the travel In case of the industrial truck loaded freight lifts and vehicle lifts, the traction shall also be checked statically with 150% of the rated load 48

25 T 1 /T 2 C 1 XC 2 e fα It shall be checked that empty car cannot be raised by the operation of the driving sheave when counterweight rests on its compressed buffers. 49
