Anto ME463 Plate No. 3

The document describes the design of a wire rope for a gantry crane using Faires method. [1] Key details of the crane and load are provided. [2] Assumptions are made about rope type and dimensions based on references. [3] Calculations are shown for loads on the rope, safety factors, and final dimensions of a 6x19 wire rope with 1 7/8 inch diameter and 0.119 inch wire diameter to meet requirements.

PROBLEM:

Select a wire rope for a gantry crane to lift a maximum load of 100 kN at a depth of 20
meters. The rope is to be lifted with an acceleration of 1 m/s2. (SI UNITS)

Design a wire rope for this application using Faires method. Convert the given units to
English system if necessary.

SOLUTION:

Note: Since there are unknown given (type of rope, wire diameter, etc), the first part of
the solution is based on Khurmi as part of my assumption. These lacking given and their
values are assumed based on Khurmi’s method then it will be used in the design of wire
ropes using Faires method.

Given:

1. From table 20.9, we find that the wire ropes for general engineering purposes such
as cranes, excavators, etc. are of two types; 6 x 19 and 6 x 37. Let us use the
rope type 6 x 19 to check if it is the safe type to use.
2. From table 20.11, we find that the factor of safety of gantry crane is 6. Since the
design load is calculated by taking a factor of safety 2 to 2.5 times the factor of
safety given in table 20.11. Therefore, let us take the factor of safety as 13.

3. Finding the diameter of the rope with tensile strength of 1750 – 1900 MPa, type
6 x 19.
4. From table 20.10, For a 6 x 19 rope.
5. Sheave Diameter based on table 20.12 considering the preferred sheave
diameter.

6. Various Loads in the Rope:

a) Weight of the rope


b) Bending Stress

c) Equivalent Bending Load on the rope

d) Additional load due to acceleration

e) Impact load during starting


7. Factor of Safety

a) Effective Load (Normal Working)

Effective Load (Starting)

c) Effective Load (Acceleration)


Based on the values of the factors of safety, the rope type 6 x 19 with a 48 mm wire
diameter is satisfactory thus it is safe to be used in solving the rope’s specific designs
using Faires method.

SOLVING FOR THE ROPE’S ADDITIONAL CAPABILITIES USING FAIRES


METHOD:

Given:

1. Mass of the rope


2. Factor of Safety with Allowances for the Bending Load
TABLE AT 28
3. Factor of Safety without Allowances for the Bending Load

4. Number of Bends to Failure if N is assumed to be 2.5 on Fatigue


5. Deflection on the Cable Due to the Load Gradually Applied

6. Additional Energy Absorbed by the Cable


FINAL DIMENSIONS OF THE WIRE ROPE:

Use rope type 6 x 19, IPS


Wire rope diameter (Dr) = 1 7/8 in
Wire diameter (Dw) = 0.119 in
Length of the wire rope = 65.6 ft

Cross-sectional View for


the Possible Design of
Wire Rope

Design is based from the company Santini Funi.

Specifications

6 strand x 19 wires standard rope. This rope consists of 6 external strands each
with 19 wires. It have a fibre core also consisting of a 19-wire strand.

Uses
Suitable for multiple uses from the construction of rock fall barriers to the
production of anti-fall lifelines, cranes, etc.
