In the industrial field, wire rope electric hoists have become one of the most widely used types of electric hoists due to their excellent performance and wide applicability. It operates in the same way as a chain electric hoist, like a pair of tacit partners, but the significant difference between the two lies in the traction rope. The wire rope electric hoist uses wire rope as the "force link" for traction, while the loop chain electric hoist relies on the chain to complete its mission. This subtle difference creates their own unique application scenarios.
The steel wire rope is the core component of the steel wire rope electric hoist. Whether the electric hoist can stably carry heavy goods largely depends on the quality of the steel wire rope. It can be said that high-quality steel wire rope is the key guarantee for efficient and safe operation of electric hoists.
There are two common types of wire rope cores for electric hoists. One type is carefully crafted from soft steel wire, which seems like tough little guards. They have extremely high strength and can hold their posts under the "dual test" of lateral pressure and high temperature. However, they also have their own small weakness, which is a slight lack of resilience. Another type of rope core is woven from asbestos fibers, which are wrapped in special fiber armor and fully soaked in anti-corrosion and rust proof lubricating oil. This allows the steel wire rope with this core to be used in high-temperature environments and easily cope with the challenges brought by high temperatures.
Therefore, the steel wire ropes of electric hoists have extremely high breaking force, which is like a powerful backing, far exceeding the rated load of the electric hoist itself. This means that even if the electric hoist encounters severe overload and is damaged, the steel wire rope can still firmly protect the safety of the goods with its strong strength and will not break. This is the magic of the wire rope electric hoist traction rope, which, with its tough body, provides safe and efficient protection for industrial operations.
