Classification of steel wire ropes

The steel wire rope is the traction component in the electric hoist with a steel wire rope. So it is also a load-bearing part. Not only do electric hoists use steel wire ropes, but there are many places where steel wire ropes are used in daily life. The winding method of steel wire ropes divides them into several categories. The steel wire rope components can be divided into three categories according to the different levels of winding, namely single winding rope, double winding rope, and triple winding rope. The following will be specifically introduced.

1. Single winding rope: This type of rope is made by twisting several thin steel wires around a metal core, with poor flexibility and easy wear and breakage;

2. Double wound rope: Twisted from steel wire into strands, then twisted around the rope core to form a rope. Double wound rope has good flexibility, is easy to manufacture, and is widely used;

3. Three winding ropes: double winding ropes are used as strands and then twisted around the double winding rope core to form a rope with good flexibility; However, the manufacturing is relatively complex, and the steel wire is too thin and prone to wear, so it is rarely used.
