1. Elevator wire rope

Mainly used in elevator equipment for people and loads in high-rise buildings. Therefore, it is required to have a compact and soft structure, small structural elongation and load elongation, good lubrication conditions, large safety factor and good fatigue performance. In addition, in order to reduce the wear with the sheave groove, it is necessary to use an 8-strand structure, and the strength of the outer wire rope in the strand is lower than the strength of the Zinc alloy wire rope in the inner strand.

2. Aviation wire rope

It is mainly used as the air cable and steering cable on the aircraft. Because the Zinc alloy wire rope is relatively thin and has to withstand the corrosion of atmospheric media, it is required to have high fatigue resistance and corrosion resistance.

3. Steel wire rope for mine hoisting

It is the force-bearing part of manned ores in the mine, and it is also a key part that all mines attach great importance to. Fatigue resistance, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, small elongation, high life, safe and reliable operation are required. In addition, performance characteristics such as non-rotation, non-looseness, and large contact surface with Zinc alloy wire rope are required.

4. Wire ropes for aerial ropeways and cable cars

Aerial ropeways are mainly used as air transport tracks, with the delivery of vehicles as means of transport. The basic requirements for this kind of wire rope are: large safety factor, wear resistance, smooth surface of the wire rope, high bending stiffness, resistance to atmospheric medium corrosion, and not loose. Both Zinc alloy wire rope and surface contact wire rope have these performance characteristics.

5. Wire rope for lifting

The Zinc alloy wire rope is required to have basic properties such as high tensile strength, good flexibility, non-rotation, bending fatigue resistance, and non-looseness.

6. Wire rope for fishing

Its specific uses are trawl nets, fixed nets, rolling nets, nets, etc., and all work in the underwater environment of rivers, lakes and seas. Therefore, it should have corrosion resistance (especially in sea water) and good flexibility. To this end, the surface of the Zinc alloy wire rope needs to be coated (such as thick galvanized, aluminum, etc.), the rope core also needs to be made of fibers with poor water absorption, and the number of steel wires should be more.

In short, due to the extensive use of Zinc alloy wire rope, its performance is also required to be diverse. The performance of the wire rope constitutes the quality of the wire rope, and its quality depends on the manufacturing process to effectively control.
