  Wire rope - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Modern wire rope was invented by the German mining engineer Wilhelm Albert in the years between 1831 and 1834 for use in mining in the Harz Mountains in Clausthal, Lower Saxony, Germany.
In America wire rope was later manufactured by John Roebling, forming the basis for his success in suspension bridge building.
This flexibility is particularly vital in ropes used in machinery such as cranes or elevators as well as ropes used in transportation modes such as cable cars, cable railways, funiculars and aerial lifts.

 An Introduction to Wire Rope
Wire rope is composed of wires, strands and a core.
Ropes in this class are furnished in regular and lang lay with fiber core or independent wire rope core, preformed or not preformed.
The wires under the outside layer of the Filler Wire rope are made up of a combination of main wires, each of the same size, and smaller filler wires, each of the same size, nested between the main wires.

When a wire rope bends, each of its many wires slides and adjusts to accommodate the differences in length between the inside and outside of the bend.
Wire ropes are identified by classifications based upon the number of strands and nominal number of wires in each strand.

 Wire Ropes on Bilco Wire Rope & Supply Corp.
This classification of wire rope covers ropes containing six strands with the number of wires per strand varying from a minimum of 27 to a maximum of 49.
This classification is normally found in ropes of larger diameters or in situations where small sheave or drum diameters exist.
Wire ropes of this class are more flexible than 6x19 class ropes due to the greater numbers of wires per strand, however the resistance to abrasion is less than 6x19 class ropes.

 VER SALES, INC. - Wire Rope
DIAMETER IN In a multi-part wire rope system where the blocks have a tendency to twist, or for a single part hoist line which does not require the degree of rotation resistant properties found in a 19 x 7 rope, the 8 x 25 Resistwist rope has found successful application.
Tests on rotation resistant ropes show that the length of service life between that point in time where the visible broken wire criteria for removal from service are met, and where actual rope failure occurs, is substantially shorter for rotation resistant ropes than for standard construction ropes.
This practice, or any other which allows the rope to rotate while in service, can lead to unbalanced loading between inner and outer layers of strands, which may result in a short length of an operating rope, or there is unevenness of outer strands, the rope should be replaced.

While the 6 x 19 ropes give primary emphasis to abrasion resistance in varying degrees, the 6 x 36 ropes are important for their fatigue resistance.
As the rope size increases, for instance, a large number of wires can be used to achieve required fatigue resistance, and still those wires will be large enough to offer adequate resistance to abrasion.

 History of the Atlantic Cable & Submarine Telegraphy - Wire Rope
The first wire ropes were made with iron wire, using the same manufacturing methods as for hemp rope.
By 1834 wire ropes developed by the German engineer Wilhelm Albert were being used in the mines in Germany's Upper Harz district, and it was estimated that the additional manufacturing cost was more than covered by the much longer life of the wire rope over traditional hemp ropes.
An important feature of Newall's wire rope was a central core of hemp or other flexible material, which ensured that the individual wires and strands were held equidistant from their respective centers to ensure equal stress on each wire.

 Modern History of Wire Rope
The first operative wire ropes of the modern era, employed in vertical shafts as hoisting cables in the Harz Mountain silver mines of Germany from 1834 to 1854, were not very complicated inventions.
Roebling's ropes, however, were made entirely of wire, utilizing a core that was identical to the six outer strands, each comprised of 19 wires.
Thomas Seale's patented form of wire rope is also widely-used, particularly in any kind of application where severe abrasion is encountered, and John Roebling's three-size Warrington construction remains popular for small-diameter ropes where the filler wire principle cannot be applied.

Mismatching between new wire rope size and worn sheave groove causes a pronounced vibration problem.
The greater the groove wear, the smaller the sheave radius and the more the rope must move to keep up with the ropes in less worn grooves.
Lubrication is necessary to reduce friction between the wires, prevent rouge and rust, reduce sheave wear and slow rope fatigue due to repeated bending.
