    Design of Rope Drums

    Uploaded by

    Bhaskar Anupam
    The document discusses design considerations for wire rope sheaves and drums. Key points include that sheaves and drums should have proper size and dimensions to reduce stresses on wire ropes while allowing them to run freely. Grooves should have the proper dimensions and angles between 40-45 degrees to minimize wear. The radius of grooves is generally about 1.05 times the rope diameter. Drums and sheaves are often made of grey cast iron for its lower wear properties compared to steel.

     They should have proper size.

    They should Run freely on axel.

    They should have grooves with proper


    dimensions in order to reduce stresses and
    deformation of wire ropes.
    • Large diameter needed for better rope life.

    • Low diameter reduces cost, space and


    centrifugal forces.

    • However rope life is generally compensated to


    achieve the later one.

    • But to keep the extent of wear in rope under


    permissible range there exists minimum value
    of ratio of drum diameter to the rope diameter.
     Groove angle is taken
    between 400 – 450

     Angle of contact at the


    base is kept about 1200

     In general the radius of


    groove is approximately
    taken about:

    R = 1.05 dr

     Generally grey cast iron FG200 is used as the material for sheaves
    and drums due to lower wear of ropes against CI as compared to steel.
