Wire rope electric hoist is currently a widely used type of electric hoist. The operation mode of wire rope electric hoist and loop chain electric hoist is basically not much different, and their main difference lies in the traction rope, one is the wire rope and the other is the chain. And the steel wire rope is one of the core parts of the steel wire rope electric hoist. Whether an electric hoist has sufficient load capacity largely depends on the quality of the steel wire rope. Below, we will briefly introduce some relevant information about the steel wire rope of an electric hoist.

The core of electric hoist steel wire rope is mostly made of soft steel wire, which has high strength and can work under lateral pressure and high temperature conditions, but its toughness is poor. In addition, there is another type of rope core called asbestos core, which is made of asbestos fibers and soaked with anti-corrosion and anti rust lubricating oil. The steel wire rope of this type of rope core can work under high temperature conditions.

So the steel wire ropes of electric hoists have extremely high breaking force, which is much higher than the rated load of the electric hoist itself. That is to say, even if the electric hoist is damaged due to severe overload, the steel wire rope will basically not break. This is the traction rope of steel wire rope electric hoists.
