Traction cable
The reliability of the driving system is dependent on the condition of the traction cable.
Cable construction and inherent stability (crush resistance, impact resistance) must be able to withstand the active loads.
-
You should therefore only use cables provided or approved by HABEGGER.
-
The traction cable should not be lubricated.
We will accept no responsibility for any damages and liabilities resulting from the use of cables which are unsuitable or have
not been approved by us.
The cable diameter must be in accordance with the information on the identification plate.
-
Danger of injury! Always close and secure the housing cover over the driving system using screws before
operation.
-
Wear gloves when handling wire cables.
-
Secure freely suspended loads against twisting so that the cable will not twist.
-
Damage to the rope: squashed, untwisted, non-circular ropes, bent rope or ropes with kinks or broken
strands should not be used.
-
Cables with protruding strands: remove protruding strands.
-
Damage to either end of the cable: If possible, shorten cable.
-
Replace the cable when more than 10% of the cable is worn out at its thinnest point.
Cable connections, sleeves, compression heads, short splices, etc. should not be fed through the driving system.
When diverting the cable over sharp edges, obstacles, etc., protect the cable using appropriate floor rollers or wooden or
plastic supports.
The cable must be professionally laid, i.e. it must be from the winch so that there are no loops, kinks or twists.
The free end of the traction cable is coloured.
-
Danger! Stop the machine as soon as the coloured end reaches the machine during lowering.
-
Danger! To relieve the rocker, the unloaded end of the rope should not hang down more than 15 m.
