Checking / replacing the wire rope
Check the rope for signs of damage and wear (e.g. wire breaks,
pinched points, looping of wires) and corrosion (refer to DIN 15020
Part 2), if necessary replace the rope.
In the event of wire breaks, the wire rope must be replaced at the
latest after more than 8 wires are broken over a length of 135 mm
[5.31
″].
Replacing the wire rope
Disassembly from the rope drum
For better access to the rope drum
when replacing the rope, remove
the rope cylinder (5) on the flexible
drum guard.
Unwind the wire rope (1) up to the last two coils.
Loosen the cable clamp by loos-
ening the central screw (4) in the
main shaft.
First pull the wire rope (1) out of
the clamping position (3), then
from the drum feed-through (2a)
(push back the rope so that it re-
laxes).
Assembly on the rope drum
First place the wire rope (1)
through the drum feed-through
(2a).
Push through by approx. 1 m [3.3 ft) and place in the last two outer
rope grooves (2b).
Place the wire rope (1) in the hole at the clamping position (3) until it
is visible from the opposite side (3a).
Use the central screw (4) and clamp the rope in the drive shaft.
Pull both loose rope coils (2b) fully tight.
Install the rope cylinder (5).
Coil the cable cleanly on the drum.
