Optimum design and selection of wire rope for hot rolling shop applications

Optimal selection of wire rope for various industrial applications is a multidisciplinary procedure. In this paper, optimum selection of wire rope for winch trolley in hot rolling shop is comprehensively demonstrated using finite element analysis. Powerfoam wire rope can be operated at lower D/d ratio and have 2.5 times longer service life as compared to their stranded conventional counterpart. The parameter-based geometric models of commercially available multi-layer wire ropes of 1 + 6 + 6 strand construction are designed using modelling software, SolidWorks, and procedure is followed by finite element analysis on ANSYS. The service life of wire rope is a function of factor of safety. Finally, cost analysis is delivered for optimum selection of wire rope, as an economical insight of the study.
