How Do I Choose Between Plastic-Coated and Plastic-Impregnated Wire Rope?
I compare plastic-coated and plastic-impregnated wire rope by protection, fatigue, inspection, diameter, machine fit, and total operating cost.
How Do I Cut Wire Rope Cleanly Without Damaging Its Construction?
I explain how to cut wire rope cleanly by selecting the right cutter, seizing both sides, controlling stored energy, making a square cut, and inspecting the end before termination.
How Do I Choose the Right Wire Rope Thimble?
I choose a wire rope thimble by matching its groove, duty class, material, and geometry to the rope and connector. A correct fit protects the eye from crushing, abrasion, and early deformation.发布
