The Influence of Parameters and Load on the Spin Angle of Multilayer Strand Wire Rope

The spin characteristics of multi-layer strand wire ropes can reduce the control accuracy of the crane lifting system, resulting in the crane being unable to meet the high-precision operation requirements. An object of this paper is to know about the influence of different parameters on the spin characteristics of multi-layer strand wire ropes. This article first theoretically analyzes the effects of wire rope twist angle, wire diameter, material, and load on the rotational characteristics of multi-layer strand wire ropes. In addition, we use CREO to establish a parameterized model for multi-layer strand wire ropes, and then set the material properties, contact parameters, and boundary conditions of the model in ABAQUS. Finally, the dynamic simulation of the multi-layer strand wire ropes model was completed. The results indicate that when the multi-layer strand wire rope is in a steady state, the twist angle has the greatest impact on the rotation angle, and under the same conditions, the rotation angle increases with the increase of the twist angle. The rotation angle at steady state is basically consistent with the theoretical calculation results, indicating that the theoretical influence of wire rope twist angle, wire diameter, material, and load on the rotation characteristics of multi-layer strand wire ropes is accurate.
