FastServ Safety Disclaimer

Important Wire Rope WarningsWIRE ROPE IS A MACHINE. Understand and respect it . Like any machine, it needs proper care and maintenance for optimal safety and long service life . For a better understanding of wire rope, we highly recommend the Wire Rope Users Manual by the Wire Rope Technical Board . Excerpts of that manual have been reprinted in the wire rope section of this catalog . These warnings also apply to wire rope . Only additional warning and information are listed below . WIRE ROPE IMPORTANT WARNINGS: Failure to follow warnings and instructions can result in serious injury or death. RATED CAPACITY • Rated capacity is the load which a new wire rope may handle under given operating conditions and at assumed design factor . A design

factor of 5 is chosen most frequently for wire rope . (Operating loads not to exceed 20% of catalog Breaking Strength .) Operating loads may have “to be reduced when life, limb or valuable property are at risk, or other than new rope” is used . A design factor of 10 is usually chosen when wire rope is used to carry personnel . (Operating loads not to exceed 10% of catalog Breaking Strength .) Responsibility for choosing a design factor rests with the user

• Attachments must have at least the same Working Load Limit as the wire rope used• Clips, sockets, thimbles, sleeves, hooks, links, shackles, sheaves, blocks, etc . must match size, material and strength to provide adequate

safety protection . Proper installation is crucial for maximum efficiency and safety• Keep out from under a raised load• Do not operate load over people . Do not ride on load . Conduct all lifting operations in such a manner that if equipment were to fail or

break, no personnel would be injured . This means KEEP OUT FROM UNDER A RAISED LOAD, DO NOT OPERATE LOADS OVER PEOPLE AND KEEP OUT OF THE LINE OF FORCE OF ANY LOAD

• Avoid shock loads• Avoid impacting, jerking or swinging of load . Working Load Limit will not apply in these circumstances because a shock load is generally

significantly greater than the static load• Inspect wire rope regularlyTwo of the most important prerequisites for inspecting wire rope are technical knowledge and experience . Check the general condition of the wire rope . Also, look for localized damage and wear, especially at wire rope attachments . Inspect all parts that come in contact with the wire rope . Poor performance of wire rope can often be traced back to worn or wrong-sized sheaves, drums, rollers, etc . Look for kinks, broken wires, abrasions, lack of lubrication, rust damage, crushing, reduction of diameter, stretch or other obvious damage . If any of these conditions exists or if there is any other apparent damage to the wire rope, retire the wire rope according to the instructions below . When in doubt about the extent of the damage, retire the wire rope in question immediately . Without laboratory analysis, it is impossible to determine the strength of damaged or used wire . Thus, you will not be able to tell whether wire rope with any amount of damage is safe to use . Retire the wire rope that is damaged . For specific inspection procedures, check various OSHA and ANSI publications . Destroy, rather than discard, wire rope to be retired . Wire rope that is not destroyed might be used again by someone not aware of the hazard associated with that use . Destroying wire rope is best done by cutting it up into short pieces .Refer to General Information on Wire Rope for important characteristics and properties of wire rope .

WORKING LOAD LIMIT (WLL)This term will be used throughout this catalog . There are however, other terms used in the industry which are applicable and are interchangeable with the term Working Load Limit . These may be WLL, SWL (Safe Working Load), Rated Load Value, Resulting Safe Working Load and Rated Capacity .The Working Load Limit is the maximum load which should ever be applied to the product, even when the product is new and when the load is uniformly applied - straight line pull only . Avoid side loading . All catalog ratings are based upon usual environmental conditions and consideration must be given to unusual conditions such as extreme high or low temperatures, chemical solutions or vapors or prolonged immersion in salt water, etc . Such conditions or high risk applications may necessitate reducing the Working Load Limit . Working Load Limit will not apply if the product has been welded or otherwise modified . Never exceed the Working Load Limit .

PROOF TEST LOAD (PROOF LOAD)The term “Proof Test” designates a quality control test applied to the product for the sole purpose of detecting defects in material or manufacture . The Proof Test Load (usually twice the Working Load Limit) is the load which the product withstood without deformation when new and under laboratory test conditions . A constantly increasing force is applied in direct line to the product at a uniform rate of speed on a standard pull testing machine . The Proof Test Load does not mean the Working Load Limit should ever be exceeded .

BREAKING STRENGTH/ULTIMATE STRENGTHDo not use breaking strength as a criterion for service or design purposes; instead, refer to the Working Load Limit . Breaking strength is the average force at which the product (in the condition it would leave the factory) has been found by representative testing to break . This is done by constantly increasing force applied in direct line to the product at a uniform rate of speed on a standard pull testing machine . Proof testing to twice the Working Load Limit does not apply to hand-spliced slings . Remember: Breaking Strengths, when published, were obtained under controlled laboratory conditions . Listing of the Breaking Strength does not mean the Working Load Limit should ever be exceeded .

DESIGN FACTOR (SOMETIMES REFERRED TO AS SAFETY FACTOR)An industry term usually computed by dividing the catalog Breaking Strength by the catalog Working Load Limit and generally expressed as a ratio . For example: 5 to 1 .

SHOCK LOADA load resulting from rapid change of movement, such as impacting, jerking or swinging of a static load . Sudden release of tension is another form of shock loading . Shock loads are generally significantly greater than static loads . Any shock loading must be considered when selecting the item for use in a system . Avoid impacting, jerking or swinging of load as the Working Load Limit could be exceeded and the Working Load Limit will not apply .

MATCHING OF COMPONENTS Components must match . Make certain that components such as hooks, links or shackles, etc . used with wire rope (or chain or cordage) are of suitable material size and strength to provide adequate safety protection . Attachments must be properly installed and must have the Working Load Limit at least equal to the product with which they are used . Remember: Any chain is only as strong as its weakest link .

CLASS / STRAND COREWire rope is formed by wrapping wires in a helically fashion around a core or center . This process increases the strength of the overall wire rope by providing proper support throughout the wire rope . Its construction is expressed in numbers of strands x number of wires . 6 x 19 indicates that the wire rope consits of 6 strands, of 19 individual wires . The construction of these strands are grouped into classes that determine the wire rope’s use . See page 4 for a more indepth explaination

RAISED LOADS Keep out from under a raised load . Take special notice of the recommendations issued by the National Safety Council Accident Prevention Manual concerning all lifting operations:“All employees working cranes, hoists, or assisting in hooking or arranging a load should be instructed to keep out from under the load . From a safety standpoint, one factor is paramount: conduct all lifting operations in such a manner, that if there were an equipment failure, no personnel would be injured . This means keep out from under a raised load and keep out of the line of force of any load .”

DO NOT OPERATE A LOAD OVER PEOPLE. DO NOT RIDE ON LOAD.

LAYIndicates how the wires have been laid to form strands and how the strands have been laid around the core . A right regular lay rope (RRL; the most common) has its strands laid right on the rope – similar to threading a right-hand threaded bolt . Regular means that the direction of the wire lay in the strand is opposite to the direction of the strand lay in the rope . (The wires in regular lay rope appear to be in line with the axis of the rope .) CAUTION: When combining separate ropes in a single line application always use ropes of the same lay pattern . Different lays can increase rotation at connection points decreasing rope efficiency .

General Information About Wire Rope

DETERMINING CLASS / STRAND COREWire rope consists of three basic components: wires, strands, and the core or center . Wire rope is classified by the contruction of strands x the number of individual wires, wraped around a core of stranded wire, as shown in figure 1a . A wire rope classified as 7 x 19 indicates that the wire rope consists of 7 strands, each having 19 individual wires, as shown in figure 1b . A wire rope classified as 7 x 7 indicates that the wire rope consists of 7 strands, each having 7 individual wires, as shown in figure 1c .

Fig . 1: Wire rope is made up of a contruction of strands x number of individual wires, wraped around a core of stranded wire, (a) . 19 individual wires make up each of the 7 strands, this type of wire rope is classified as 7x19 (b) . 7 individual wires make up each of the 7 strands, this type of wire rope is classified as 7x7 (c) .

CHECKING THE DIAMETERIt is most important to check the diameter of the delivered rope before installation . This is to make certain that the rope diameter meets the specified requirements for the given machine or equipment . With an under size diameter rope, stresses will be higher than designed for and the probability of breaking the rope will be increased; an over size diameter rope will wear out prematurely . This happens because of abuse to the rope caused by pinching in the grooves of the sheave and drum .In checking, the actual rope diameter must be measured and is defined as the diameter of the circumscribing circle, i .e ., its largest cross-sectional dimension . To insure accuracy, this measurement should be made with a wire rope caliper using the correct method (b) shown in Fig . 2 . For measuring ropes with an odd number of outer strands, special techniques must be employed .Design specifications for wire rope are such that the diameter is slightly larger than the nominal size, according to the allowable tolerances shown in Table 1 .

*These limits have been adopted by the Wire Rope Technical Board (WRTB) . In the case of certain special purpose ropes, such as aircraft cables and elevator ropes, each has specific requirements . If a question should arise regarding compliance with oversize tolerances, the rope may be measured under tension of not less than 10% nor more than 20% of the nominal strength .

RECEIVING, INSPECTION AND STORAGEFor all wire rope, the best time to begin taking appropriate care and handling measures, is immediately upon receiving it . On arrival, the rope should be carefully checked to make certain that the delivered product matches the description on tags, requisition forms, packing slips, purchase order and invoice .After these necessary preliminary checks, the next concern is that of providing weather-proof storage space . If wire rope is to be kept unused for a considerable time, it must be protected from the elements . The ideal storage area is a dry, well-ventilated building or shed . Avoid closed, unheated, tightly sealed buildings or enclosures because condensation will form when warm, moist outside (ambient) air envelops the colder rope . Although wire rope is protected by a lubricant, this is not totally effective since condensation can still occur within the small interstices between strands and wires, thereby causing corrosion problems .Reversely, if the delivery site conditions preclude storage in an inside space and the rope must be kept outdoors, it should be effectively covered with a waterproof material . Moreover, weeds and tall grass, in the assigned storage area, should be cut away; the reel itself should be placed on an elevated platform that will keep it from direct contact with the ground . Providing an adequate covering for the reel also prevents the original lubricant from drying out and thereby losing its protection .Never store wire rope in areas subject to elevated temperatures . Dust, grit, or chemically laden atmospheres, should also be avoided . Although lubricant applied at the factory offers some degree of protection, every normal precautionary measure should be taken with each coil or reel of wire rope .Whenever wire rope remains in position on an idle machine, crane, hoist, etc ., it should be coated with an appropriate protective lubricant . In these circumstances, as with ropes stored outside, moisture in the form of condensation, rain or snow may form on the wire rope . Some of the moisture may easily become trapped inside the rope and cause corrosion problems .If the wire rope is to be kept inactive for an extended period while wound on the drum of the idle equipment, it may be necessary to apply a coating of lubricant to each layer as the rope is wound on the drum . Cleaning, inspection and re-lubrication should precede start-up of the equipment .

ORDERING WIRE ROPEConstruction, lay, core, finish and other factors mentioned above impart greatly differing characteristics to different wire ropes . They must be understood and considered when selecting wire rope . There is no perfect wire rope for all applications; usually some less desirable properties are traded off for other, more desirable ones . Refer to the Wire Rope Users Manual by the Wire Rope Technical Board for a better understanding of wire rope properties and consult professional help when in doubt . Lacking a complete description of the wire rope desired, a supplier can make several assumptions: 1. If direction and type of lay are omitted from the rope description, it is assumed to be right regular lay (RRL) .2. If finish is omitted, this will be presumed to mean ungalvanized, “bright” finish .3. If no mention is made with reference to preforming, preformed wire rope will be supplied .4. If a supplier receives an order for 6 x 19 wire rope he may assume this to be a class reference and is, therefore, legally identified in furnishing

any construction within this category .

LUBRICATIONDuring fabrication, wire ropes receive lubrication . The kind and amount depends on the rope’s size, type in use, if known . This in-process treatment will provide the finished wire rope with ample protection for a reasonable time if it is stored under proper conditions . But, when the wire rope is put into service, the initial lubrication will normally be less than needed for the full useful life of the wire rope . Because of this, periodic applications of a suitable wire rope lubricant are necessary .

FINISHWire rope is either sold as “bright” (or “black”) – meaning uncoated or galvanized for better corrosion resistance . “Drawn Galvanized” wire has the same strength as bright wire, but wire, “galvanized at finished size” is usually 10% lower in strength . Plastic coated wire rope is also available, usually galvanized or stainless steel cable . The most common plastic coverings are vinyl or nylon in either clear or white, although other materials and colors are available . These coating do not add strength to the wire rope itself .

PREFORMINGA manufacturing process wherein the strands and their wires are permanently formed – during fabrication – the helical shape that they will ultimately assume in the finished wire rope . Proper preforming prevents the strand and wire from unlaying during normal use . The vast majority of wire ripe sold today is preformed .

Wire rope is shipped in cut lengths, either in coils or on reels . Great care should be taken when the rope is removed from the shipping package, since it can be permanently damaged by improper unreeling or uncoiling .Looping the rope over the head of the reel or pulling the rope off a coil while it is lying on the ground, will create loops in the line . Pulling on a loop will produce imbalance in the rope and may result in open or closed kinks . (Fig . 3)Once a rope is kinked, the damage is permanent . To correct this condition, the kink must be cut out and the short end pieces used for some other purpose .

Fig. 3: Improper handling can create open (a) or closed kinks (b) . The open link will open the rope lay; the closed kink will close it .

Starting loop (c): Do not allow the rope to form a loop . If a loop does form and is removed at the stage shown, a kink can be avoided .

Kink (d): In this case, the looped rope was put under tension, the kink was formed, the rope is now permanently damaged and must be removed .

Unreeling & Uncoiling

When reeling wire rope from one reel to another, it is preferable for the wire rope to travel from top to top, as illustrated . Spooling from bottom to bottom is also acceptable, provided the surface over which the wire rope will travel is clean, smooth and dry, so as not to allow foreign particles to become embedded in the wire rope . Spooling from top to bottom or from bottom to top can put a reverse bend into wire rope and must be avoided . When stringing up machinery, wire rope should be removed from the reel in the same direction as placed on the drum .

Rereeling Wire Rope

WINDING WIRE ROPE ON DRUMS Installation of wire rope on a plain or grooved drum requires a great deal of care . Make certain the wire rope is properly attached to the drum . Keep adequate tension on the wire rope as it is wound onto the drum . Guide each wrap as close to the preceding wrap as possible, or follow the groove in case of a grooved drum . No blanket recommendations can be given concerning direction of winding, desirable drum diameter, fleet angle, etc . Consult the Wire Rope Users Manual for this and other important technical information .

ELASTIC PROPERTIES OF WIRE ROPE Wire rope is an elastic member; it stretches or elongates under load . This elongation can be permanent or recoverable . The extent of elongation will depend on the wire rope used and the design factor chosen . While it may be acceptable for many wire rope uses to neglect its elastic properties, they are of critical importance for some uses . When in doubt about the importance of wire rope elongation, consult professional help . Pre-stretching wire rope will only remove some of the constructional stretch and will not totally eliminate elongation under load .

BREAKING IN NEW WIRE ROPE Since wire rope is a machine with many moving parts, it requires careful installation and “breaking in” procedures, for maximum safety and long service life . After proper installation, allow the wire rope to run through a cycle of operation at a very low speed . Keep a close watch on the wire rope, its attachments and any working parts such as sheaves, drum, rollers, etc . to make certain that the wire rope runs freely . If no problems appear at this stage, run the wire rope through several cycles of operation under light load at reduced speed . This procedure allows the component parts of the new rope to make a gradual adjustment to the actual operating conditions .

CUTTING & SEIZING WIRE ROPE There are numerous ways to cut wire rope – use only appropriate tools specifically designed as so . Safety goggles and work gloves must always be worn . Observe other precautions particular to the tools used . Wire rope should be properly seized on both sides of the cut with wire or strand . Seizing wire diameter and the number and length of the seizings will depend on the diameter of the wire rope, and whether or not it is preformed .

WIRE ROPE EFFICIENCY Wire rope will develop 100% efficiency, that is, break at or above minimum acceptance strength (not less than 2-1/2% below nominal breaking strength) under controlled laboratory conditions .

Once fittings such as sleeves, clips, sockets, etc . are attached and/or the wire rope passes over a curved surface such as sheaves, pins, etc . its strength is decreased . In the case of wire rope passing over a curved surface, this decrease in strength depends on the severity of the bend . In the case wire rope fitting, the decrease in wire rope strength will depend on the type of fittings used . The wire rope efficiency usually ranges from 70% – 100% . NOTE: that hand spliced wire rope, while not using any fittings, has less efficiency than properly flemished and swaged wire rope . There are other factors, depending on the application of wire rope, which can cause a decrease in nominal wire rope strength . They must be considered when choosing a design factor . Refer to the Wire Rope Users Manual and/or other qualified sources for details .

WIRE ROPE CLIPSWire rope clips are widely used for making end terminations .

When using U-Bolt clips, extreme care must be exercised to make certain that they are attached correctly; i .e ., the U-Bolt must be applied so that the “U” section is in contact with the dead end of the rope .

Also, the tightening and retightening of the nuts must be accomplished as required .

Use only forged clips for critical, heavy duty and overhead loads, such as support lines, guy lines, towing lines, tie downs, scaffolds, etc .

Malleable clips are to be used for making eye termination assemblies only, with Right Regular Lay (RRL) wire rope and only for light duty uses with small applied loads, such as hand rails, fencing, guard rails, etc .

RECOMMENDED METHOD OF APPLYING U-BOLT CLIPS TO GET MAXIMUM HOLDING POWER OF THE CLIPThe following is based on the use of proper size U-Bolt clips on new rope:

1. Turn back specified amount of rope from thimble or loop . Apply first clip one base width from dead end of rope . Apply U-Bolt over dead end of wire rope with live end resting in saddle . Tighten nuts evenly, alternating from one nut to the other until reaching the recommended torque .

2. When two clips are required, apply the second clip as near the loop or thimble as possible . Tighten nuts evenly, alternating until reaching the recommended torque . When more than two clips are required, apply the second clip as near the loop or thimble as possible, turn nuts on second clip firmly, but do not tighten .

3. When three or more clips are required, space additional clips equally between first two - take up rope recommended slack - tighten nuts on each U-Bolt evenly, alternating from one nut to the other until reaching recommended torque .

4. Apply first load to test the assembly . This load should be of equal or greater weight than loads expected in use . Next, check and retighten nuts to recommended torque .

In accordance with good rigging and maintenance practices, the wire rope and termination should be inspected periodically for wear, abuse and general adequacy .

Inspect periodically and retighten to recommended torque .

A termination made in accordance with the above instructions and using the number of dips shown, has an approximate 80% efficiency rating . This rating is based upon the nominal strength of wire rope . If a pulley is used in place of a thimble for turning back the rope, add one additional clip .

The number of clips shown is based upon using Regular Lay or Lang Lay wire rope, 6x19 classification or 6x37 classification, fiber core or IWRC, IPS or EIP . If Seale construction or similar large outer wire type construction in the 6x19 classification, fiber core, IPS, sizes 1–1/2″ and smaller; and Right Regular Lay (RRL) wire rope, 19x7 classification, IPS or EIP, sizes 1-3/4″ and smaller .

For other classifications of wire rope not mentioned above, it may be necessary to add additional clips to the number shown .

If a greater number of clips are used than shown in the table, the amount of rope turnback should be increased proportionately .

ABOVE BASED ON USE OF PROPER SIZE U-BOLT CLIPS ON NEW ROPE.

IMPORTANT: Failure to make a termination in accordance with mentioned instructions, or failure to periodically check and retighten to the recommended torque, may cause a reduction in efficiency rating .

The correct way to attach U-Bolts is shown at the top; the “U” section is in contact with the dead end of the rope and is clear of the thimble .

The rated capacity of a multiple leg sling is directly affected by the angle of the sling leg with the load . As this angle decreases, the stress on each leg increases with the same load . If the sling angle is known, the capacity can be readily determined by multiplying the sling’s vertical capacity by the appropriate load angle factor from the table at right .

Example:A multiple leg sling with a rated capacity of 2,000 lb . will have a reduced capacity of 1,000 lb . (2,000 x .500) when sling legs are at an angle of 30° with the load .

Effect of Angles on Sling Capacities

Numerical values published for Breaking Strength and Working Load Limit are very specific in one point; they refer to straight, in-line pull or force and are obtained under laboratory conditions . There are, however, many applications where a straight line pull is not possible or even desirable . When a tackle block system is reeved, wire rope may be bent over many sheaves; multiple leg wire rope or chain slings involve differing lifting angles and angular loads on shackles or eyebolts alter Working Load Limits of the equipment used . All these and other factors influencing the Working Load Limit must be taken into account when systems are designed and used . The following examples and tables are intended to highlight and demonstrate the effects of angles on the Working Load Limit:
