HOW TO INSPECT WIRE ROPE
I. Relax the rope to a stationary position and move the pick-up points off the sheaves. Clean the surface of
the wire rope with a cloth this will allow you to see breaks. (Use a stiff wire brush, if necessary.)
II. Flex the rope to expose any broken wires hidden in the channels between the strands.
III. Visually check for any broken wires. One way to check for crown breaks is to run a cloth along the rope
to check for possible snags.
IV. With an awl tool, probe between wires and strands and lift any wires that appear loose. Evidence of
internal broken wires may require a more extensive rope examination. (IF IN DOUBT REPLACE CABLES)
V. Check for layer to layer crushing or individual wires that may have been displaced from their normal
position.
VI. Check Sheaves for deeply corrugated sheaves that may also be causing damage to wire ropes. Replace
sheaves if needed.
VII. Replace wire rope if any failing condition is found.
A lubricant suited to the conditions under which the rope is operating should then be applied. Several
methods are suggested, and the one most suited to the installation and lubricant being used may be
chosen. It is better to lubricate lightly and frequently than heavily and infrequently. For best results
lubricate to core of cables.
Improve rope performance and overall effectiveness
Check all guide rollers, sheaves and hardware that are in operational contact are visually checked for
wear and lubrication.
Visually Inspect and Apply lubricants to all contact points using a heavy weight lubricant using the
methods as described: spray, pump, brush or hand lubrication.
