wire rope has dead bending or strand loosing phenomenon
in rope releasing process.
(2)Install the steel wire rope in disk way to release its twisting
force.
(3)Thread into the car rope hitch first, and then, the car roof

due to accidental hand loosing).
(4)Thread the end of the steel wire rope downwards, fold and
thread back. Place a taper wedge into the taper sleeve and Rope clip

lift up steel wire rope at the load bearing side by force to


tighten the rope head end as shown in the figure on the
right.
Steel wire rope
(5)Fasten by 3 rope clips at the end of each steel wire rope as
shown in the right figure. Rope clips shall be neatly arranged
and shall be staggered for the two adjacent rope clips to avoid noise caused by rope shaking
in operation. U-shape bolts will be used on the tail of the steel wire rope. Steel rope clips
shall not be alternately arranged on the steel wire rope.
(6)The uneven tension of traction steel wire rope will cause car shaking and wear the traction
sheave; therefore, it is necessary to conduct tension testing after hanging the traction steel
wire rope. After the elevator is put into use, regular testing on the tension of traction steel
wire rope is also required.
a.Move the car to about 1/2 of the whole journey and open one landing door on the car with an emergency
triangle key, press down the red emergency stop switch on the top to access to the car roof.
b.Number the traction steel wire rope in sequences, such as A, B, C, D, E, F, etc. to record the data.
c.Measure the force of each steel wire rope under the equidistant state with a 200N dynamometer; for
example, pull the traction steel wire rope A away from the original place for 150mm along the horizontal
direction, record the value on the dynamometer; similarly, measure the traction steel wire ropes B, C, D, E,
F and make a record. The rope force measurement point should be on the same level. The force bearing
point of each rope should be at the same level during measurement.
Adjust the tension of the traction wire rope that exceeds the standard according to the calculated tension
percentage value (adjust the nuts on the taper sleeve of the steel wire ropes to allow the force of the
traction steel wire rope to be balanced). Fix the taper sleeve when adjusting to prevent the rotation of the
traction steel wire ropes. To meet the satisfactory results, it is required to adjust the tension of the traction
steel wire rope for several times. Since when releasing or tightening the taper sleeve bolts, the traction
steel wire rope cannot be changed in place, and it is required to repeat for several times to adjust the
tension on the traction steel wire rope uniform.

The spirals and windings of the balance compensation chain caused during the reeling shall be
removed during the installation to prevent cracking or stripping of the externally wrapped rubber and
plastic layers due to the twisting.
The method of removing the spirals and windings: when one end of the compensation chain at
the car platform is hung properly, run the elevator slowly to the top and measure the necessary length
of the compensation chain. Cut off the chain, wind and bind the compensation chain properly that
trails on the bottom. Keep it 1m above the ground and suspend it statically for 24 hours. Hang the
other end after the windings are all removed. Double check if the compensation chain has any spiral
or winding during its running several days after the elevator runs. Repeat the operation if there is still
any.
