Wire Rope
Lubricants-
Wire rope lubricants basically used in the manufacturing
process of a wire-rope to increase the ropes usage life and overall
performance.
There are two types of wire ropes lubricants available in
the market
Wax-based
Bitumen based
These lubricants used in a wide range of industries such
as-Mining, engineering, fishing, elevator etc. Proper lubrication of wire ropes
can extend its operational life .most of the wire ropes are lubricated during
the manufacturing process. Those lubricants which contain no acids or alkali's,
is highly preferred wire ropes lubricants.
Characteristics of wire rope lubricants
- Good lubricant and antitrust properties
- Rust prevention over a wide temperature range
- Suitable for commercial fishing rope
Wire rope lubricants have two principals function
- To reduce friction
- To provide corrosion protection and lubrication in the core and inside wires.
Chain Slings-
Chain slings are typically suited to more demanding lifting
operations. They are usually constructed from Grade 80 or 100. Chain slings are
one of the most durable and robust types of slings.
Selection of correct slings is not easy; you need to know
some of the following criteria before buying it. Chain slings are available in
various ranges of material and size in the market and there are different types
of slings also such as- Endless, single, two, three or four leg slings. You
should focus on capacity also; the slings should be strong and long enough for
the load.
Alloy Chain
slings-
Alloysteel chain slings are made from various grades of alloy. Alloy
steel chain slings are often used in the industrial/construction industry
because of its strength, durability, abrasion resistance properties and these
slings are able to lift hot materials also. Slings loads are based on their
material strength, design factor, and angle of loading. Inspection of Alloy
chain slings is really important as worn or damaged alloy steel chain slings must
not be used until repaired.
