100 Ton 5 Sheave Block 28 MM Wire Rope
- Working Load Limit (WLL): 100 tons
- Number of Sheaves: 5
- Compatible Wire Rope Diameter: 28 mm
- Sheave Material: Typically forged or cast steel, designed to withstand high loads and provide durability.
- Bearing Type: Sheaves may be equipped with bronze bushings or roller bearings to ensure smooth rotation under load.
- Hook Type: Equipped with a heavy-duty forged steel hook, often with a safety latch to secure the load.
- Finish: Painted or galvanized to resist corrosion and environmental wear.
Design and Safety Considerations:
- Safety Factor: Blocks are designed with a safety factor, commonly 4:1, meaning the ultimate load capacity is four times the working load limit.
- Sheave Groove: The sheave groove should be appropriately sized and contoured to fit the 28 mm wire rope, ensuring proper seating and minimizing rope wear.
- Swivel Assembly: Incorporation of a swivel assembly allows the block to rotate, preventing twisting of the wire rope during operations.
- Standards Compliance: Ensure the block meets relevant industry standards and certifications for lifting equipment.
