Steel wire rope is the most common accessory on small lifting machinery such as electric hoists, and it is also a vulnerable part. Therefore, if you encounter operations such as replacing steel wire rope, how to fix the new steel wire rope on the drum? Below, Shanghai Yiying will provide you with a detailed explanation of the steel wire rope fixing method.

　　The fixing method of steel wire rope on the drum usually uses pressure plate screws or wedges, and uses the principle of friction to fix the tail of the steel wire rope. The fixing method is required to be reliable, and it is conducive to inspection, assembly and disassembly, and does not cause excessive bending or damage to the steel wire rope at the fixing point.

　　1. Wedge block fixation method is commonly used for smaller diameter steel wire ropes, without the need for bolts, and is suitable for multi-layer winding drums.

　　2. Long Flat noodles fixing method: fix the rope end of the long grooved Flat noodles on the drum along the axial direction of the wire rope by the pressing force of the screw.

　　3. The pressing plate fixation method, which uses a pressing plate and screws to fix the steel wire rope, is simple, reliable, easy to observe and inspect, and is the most common form of fixation. The disadvantage of this method is that it occupies a large space, so it cannot be used for multi-layer winding. From a safety perspective, the number of pressure plates should be at least 2.

　　In order to ensure reliable fixation of the tail of the steel wire rope, when the retrieval device reaches the lower limit position, in addition to the fixing ring of the steel wire rope, 1 to 3 safety rings should also be retained on the drum.
