The application of hydraulic winches requires the use of steel wire ropes for operation. In order to facilitate its operation, we need to choose a suitable steel wire rope. However, because there are many types of steel wire ropes, we need to learn how to choose them. How to choose a steel wire rope?

1. When the steel wire rope is wound in a right spiral on the hydraulic winch drum, a right twisted rope should be selected. Instead, use the left twisted rope.

2. The steel wire rope twisted in the same direction is mainly used in the lifting of vertical and inclined shaft hoppers due to its softness, smooth surface, good fatigue resistance, and long service life. Although the performance of interactive twisted steel wire rope is slightly inferior to that of co twisted steel wire rope.

3. The cross-section of common hydraulic winch steel wire ropes is arranged in concentric circles and twisted to the right, with 6 strands and one core. The number of strands includes 6 × 7 strands (6 strands and 7 strands), 6 × 19 strands (6 strands and 19 strands), and 6 × 37 strands (6 strands and 37 strands). Its compressive strength and total wire breaking force are indicators.

The selection of hydraulic winch wire rope is very important. Choosing a suitable wire rope can improve the safety of the operation and increase work efficiency.
