A Short rope life resulting from evenly/randomly distributed bend fatigue wire breaks caused by bending through the reeving system.
Fatique induced wire breaks are characterised by flat ends on the broken wires.
Cause/Action
>Bending fatigue is accelerated as the load increases and as the bending radius decreases,Consider whether either factor can be improved.
>Check wire rope construction-ZhongYing ropes are capable of doubling the bending fatigue life of a conventional steel wire rope.

A Short rope life resulting from localised bend fatigue wire breaks.
Fatique induced wire breaks are characterised by flat ends in the broken wires.

>Bending fatigue is accelerated as the load increases and as the bending radius decrease.Consider whether either factor can be improved.
>Check wire rope construction_ZhongYing ropes are capable of doubling the bending fatigue life of a conventional steel wire rope.
>Localised fatigue breaks indicate continuous repetitive bends over a short length.Consider whether it is economic to periodically shorten the rope in order to move the rope to the severe bending zone.In order to facilitate this procedure it may be necessary to begin operating with a slightly longer length of rope.

A Broken rope-ropes are likely to break when subjected to substantial overload or misuse particularly when a rope has already been subjected to mechanical damage.
Corrosion of the rope both internally and/or externally can also result in a significant loss in metallic area.The rope strength is reduced to a level where it is unable to sustain the normal working load.
Cause/Action
>Review operating conditions.
