Wire rope slings are manufactured from individual wires which are twisted to form strands. They are also referred to as wire cable slings and prove to be a viable choice for material handling. As leading wire rope slings suppliers, Saudi Dutest offers a broad range of wire rope slings that withstand abrasive wear and can bend without getting damaged.
Wire rope slings meet the demands of industrial needs with different characteristics including the following –
Strength: Wire ropes slings are generally made of non-alloy carbon that features high strength. A sling's strength is inspected according to its size, grade and construction which is tested to accommodate the maximum applied load.
Fatigue resistance: Wire rope slings have a good fatigue resistance which means that they can operate without breakage or failure. Steel wire rope slings have a higher fatigue resistance as it is composed of an increased radius. However, when the slings are used for repeated applications that require it to bend, it may develop cracks and ultimately fatigue failure.
Protection from abrasion: A wire sling’s ability to withstand abrasion will depend on its size, the number of wires, and the construction of the rope. As more wires are added to the diameter of the wire sling, the risk of abrasion is reduced. A rope made with smaller wires will have more flexibility but won’t stand up to abrasion as opposed to one made with larger wires.
Saudi Dutest supplies wire ropes and slings that promote safety and comply with OSHA standards of safety. It is important to use ropes according to the manufacturer's instructions and with proper care. To know more, visit our website.
