1. Wire Rope Reel/Drum Application: Crane accessories for reeling wire rope as a winch or electric hoist.
2. Drum units is constituted by drum, shaft, gearwheel, hub, bearing body and bearing.
3. The material of wire rope drum is usually no less than HT20-40 cast iron, ZG25,ZG35 or Q235B, Q345B welding steel plate is also able to be the material for special needs.
4. Wire rope drum units applies to the large tonnage crane machinery which needs high-performance.
For Safety
1. The surface of the single-layer winding drum is cut with a spiral groove with an arc-shaped section to increase the contact area between the wire rope and the drum body, and to fix the winding position of the wire rope on the drum to avoid the influence of adjacent wire ropes rubbing against each other.
2. The surface of the drum body of the multi-layer winding drum is usually a smooth surface without spiral grooves, and there are flanges at both ends of the drum body to prevent the wire rope from slipping out. The disadvantage is that the wire ropes are closely arranged, and the layers are stacked and rubbed against each other, which has a great impact on the life of the wire rope. Among the structural dimensions of the reel, the key dimension that affects the life of the wire rope is the calculated diameter of the reel.
