I. Basic Information Required for Wire Ropes
- Source of on-site equipment lubrication system (none, technically modified new addition)
- On-site lubrication method (manual periodic lubrication, semi-automatic lubrication with controller, fully automatic lubrication with control system)
- Model and brand of on-site lubricating grease
- Type of pump used in the on-site lubrication system (pneumatic pump, electric pump)
- Length and diameter of the wire rope requiring lubrication
- Number of outer strands and lay direction of the wire rope
- Current condition of the wire rope (presence of burrs, broken strands, rough surface rust, smooth without broken strands)
- Maximum and minimum operating speeds of each wire rope
- Application scenario of the wire rope
- Maximum and minimum operating speeds of each wire rope
- If pneumatic oil supply is required, what is the stable air pressure at the site?
II. Basic Parameters and Measurement Methods for Wire Ropes
- Observe the lay direction of the wire rope, which is typically one of four types: right regular lay, left regular lay, right lang lay, and left lang lay (see illustration below)
- Measure the lay length (H) of the wire rope: the distance (H) between two corresponding points parallel to the wire rope axis after one complete rotation (or helix) of the outer steel wires of a single-strand wire rope, outer strands of a multi-strand wire rope, or unit wire ropes of a cable-type wire rope around the wire rope axis.
【Note】: Please provide the above data to VMAXX®️, and we will determine the model and specifications of the cleaner and seal to achieve optimal performance.
III. Specifications of Wire Rope Clamps
- Light Duty, Model VWL: Suitable for wire rope outer diameter 8~32mm
- Medium Duty, Model VWM: Suitable for wire rope outer diameter 34~60mm
- Heavy Duty, Model VWH: Suitable for wire rope outer diameter 62~80mm
【Note】: If the outer diameter of the wire rope exceeds the listed specifications, the wire rope clamp and cleaner need to be specially customized.
