    When the rope is bent over a component, it generates pressure which is Download Brochure
    dependent on its diameter, the diameter of the component over which the rope
    is bent and the applied tension.
     

    The nominal average pressure can be calculate using the following formula:

    Multistrand and non rotating ropes ensure a better pressure  distribution than six strand ropes, as the higher number of Worksop
    outer strands generates a wider contact surface (see gures below). Nottinghamshire
    S80 3ES
    Compacted strands and Lang’s lay ropes further extend the contact surface. UK

    In order to ensure proper performance, the groove material should ensure a smooth and hard contact: in case of inadequate
    hardness,  the steel will be locally hardened, with consequent embrittlement  and detachment of steel akes, which can

    damage both the rope and the component itself. The typical recommendation is to use hardened steel with approximate
    300 HB value.   +44 1909 500199

    In case of synthetic sheaves, the yield point of the material should be higher than the exerted pressure, calculated using   uk@oceanmax.eu
    the formula above.

    A good groove dimension is also important to achieve a reduced  pressure. The diagram below shows different
    con gurations depending on various groove oversize: narrow, well dimensioned and large groove.
