Inspection of Wire Ropes
- Why Inspect: Regular inspection is crucial to ensure safety and functionality.
- When to Inspect: Inspections should be scheduled based on usage and environmental conditions.
- Discard Criteria: Specific criteria determine when a wire rope should be discarded, including the number of wire breaks.
- Inspection Locations: Inspections should be conducted at critical points where wear and damage are likely.
- Inspection Methods: Utilize aids and techniques to assess wire breaks, rope diameter, lay length, structural integrity, and check associated equipment like pulleys and drums.
Handling, Assembly, and Maintenance of Wire Ropes
- Rope Selection: Replacement ropes should match the original specifications as detailed in the crane manual.
- Unloading: Avoid direct contact with forklift forks; use textile slings for lifting.
- Storage: Store ropes in clean, dry conditions, avoiding ground contact. Use a first-in, first-out system and maintain clear documentation.
- Assembly: Ensure ropes are unwound without twisting or damage. Use appropriate methods for different equipment sizes.
- Rewinding: Maintain the rope's preferred bending direction to prevent structural changes.
Lubricant Selection and Application
When selecting a lubricant for wire ropes, compatibility with the wire rope manufacturer's product is crucial. Drahtseilwerk Saar can provide guidance on this. Recommended lubricants include Aral Aralub LFZ 1 grease and Seilfett F 315 L adhesive lubricant. Application methods vary, with common techniques being the use of a brush or glove, and sometimes continuous drip-feed lubrication at a cable pulley. High-pressure lubrication using a pressure sleeve ensures complete penetration of the lubricant into all cavities of the wire rope, which is essential for regular maintenance.

Checking Rope Pulleys and Rope Drums
In addition to the wire rope itself, all parts of the plant with which the rope comes into contact require attention. The guidelines for rope pulleys also apply to rope drums. The grooves of the pulleys should be smooth and slightly larger than the effective diameter of the rope. DIN 15020 recommends a groove diameter of at least 1.05 times the rope's nominal diameter, with an optimal diameter between 1.06 and 1.08 times the nominal diameter. A groove that is too narrow exposes the wire rope to heavy radial compression, leading to wire breaks or structural changes. Conversely, a groove that is too wide offers insufficient contact area and lateral support, reducing rope life.

Conversely, a groove that is too wide offers insufficient contact area and lateral support, reducing rope life.
Inspection Procedures
Groove gauges are used to check the grooves, with circular templates made on a lathe being the most effective. It is advisable to create a groove gauge with a diameter 6% larger than the rope's nominal diameter for testing, along with gauges of slightly smaller and larger diameters for comparison. The groove dimension is checked by placing the gauge in the groove and assessing the fit. If the template fits well over a large portion of the circumference, the groove dimension is correct. If it rests only on the flanks, the groove is too narrow; if it rests on a small portion, it is too wide.

Additional Considerations
Confined spaces in plants can make evaluation difficult. If side checking is not possible, templates can be pulled through the groove, and evaluation can be based on sliding marks in the lubricant. A narrow mark in the center indicates the groove is larger than the template, while a wide mark means they are the same size. Two narrow marks on the flanks indicate the template is larger than the groove. During groove measurement, the depth and surface quality are also checked. Surface changes can significantly shorten rope life. Pulleys with furrows must be changed during a rope change.
