Frequently Asked Questions


As a well-established domestic manufacturer of steel wire ropes, Jiangsu Juli Steel Rope has always maintained that an improper choice of rope construction is the primary cause of a sharp decline in service life, and that three key principles should be followed. 1. General Principles: - Guy ropes and towing ropes: A 6×7 construction is suitable (fewer strands per strand, excellent wear resistance). - Sling ropes and hand-operated winches: A 6×19 construction is recommended (balancing flexibility and wear resistance). - High-speed operation, multi-layer winding, and pulley block applications: A 6×37 or even more flexible construction must be used. The 6×37 design offers a high flexural coefficient, which significantly reduces bending fatigue. - Lifting precision instruments: A 6×61 construction is advised for greater softness and reduced impact on the lifted load. 2. Special Environmental Selection: - Corrosive environments (e.g., mine shafts with water spray, chemical plants, marine settings): Plain-surface wire ropes should not be used. Galvanized, zinc-aluminum alloy–coated, or plastic-coated wire ropes are required, as they can more than double service life. - High-temperature or molten-metal lifting: Wire ropes with asbestos cores or metal cores designed for high temperatures must be used; fiber cores are strictly prohibited. 3. Lay Direction Selection: - General service conditions: Choose a cross-laid construction (where the lay direction of the strands is opposite to that of the wires), as this minimizes twisting and loosening. - Multi-layer winding applications (such as boom extension ropes on crawler cranes): A parallel-laid construction is recommended. Parallel lay provides significantly better resistance to damage at interlayer contact points compared with cross lay.
