Hoist Ropes
With the advent of high-rise elevators and the increasing speed of elevator car, elevator designers and manufacturers often opt for hoist ropes with higher strength. The grade of steel (traction, ultra-high strength traction) depends on many factors, of which the most critical being load requirements and speed. It is not always advantageous to use an EHS tow line where traction is sufficient. Low carbon steel wire used on traction grade wire rope may provide better fatigue life than high carbon EHS wire.
A combination of steel grades and heat treatment processes is used to manufacture soft, neutral and hard tensile grades. The following table represents only the chemical composition of steel used.
Tensile grades | % C | % P | % Mn | % Si | % S |
Standard | 0.45~0.50 | 0.032 | 0.5 ~1.00 | 0.10~0.34 | 0.041 |
High | 0.59~0.63 | 0.035 | 0.5 ~1.10 | 0.10~0.35 | 0.045 |
Extra-high | 0.65~0.83 | 0.035 | 0.5 ~1.10 | 0.10~0.35 | 0.045 |
