General Information on Wire Ropes |
|
Wire rope is made of plaiting strands of
wire – normally medium carbon steel – into a thick cable. The strands are
formed around a core. The strands in wire ropes are made of wore twisted
together. Strands with smaller diameter wires are less abrasion resistant and
more fatigue resistant. Strands made with thicker length of wore are more
abrasion resistant and less fatigue resistant. |

Construction |
|
The main components of a wire rope is
shown below |
|
In the above example, each individual wire
is arranges around a central wire to form a 7-wire strand.
Six of these strands are formed around a
central core to make a wire rope. The rope is specified as 6x7 (6/1)
–i.e. six strands each of seven wires.
Build a wire rope lifting sling to your specification with a
wide choice of styles and fittings.
Wire Rope and Wire Rope Slings for Lifting which Conform to EN13414-1
LIRI wire rope slings comply with the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations. Wire rope fittings and steel rope are matched up against each other to suit the required load.
They
go through thorough quality assurances and are clearly labelled to maximise
safety. Slinging arrangements are made up to order, in accordance with your
specifications.
End Fittings
Various end fittings and end fitting combinations are available for online quotation, where you can choose the complete configuration of the sling that you require.
If you require any additional features such as fibre core, or the construction of the wire e.g. 6x36 IWRC, please add this into the additional information box at the
end of
constructing your wire ropes.
