    Rope Drive: Fibre Ropes Wire Ropes

    Uploaded by

    Drew Ladlow
    Rope drives are used to transmit large amounts of power over long distances between pulleys. They use either fibre or wire ropes depending on the distance between pulleys, with fibre ropes used up to 60 meters and wire ropes from 60-150 meters. Fibre ropes have a circular cross-section and are seated in V-grooved pulleys with a 45 degree groove angle to increase grip. The ratio of driving tension depends on factors like pulley speed and diameter, rope material properties, and maximum tension limits. Example problems are given to calculate the number of ropes needed or power transmitted given system parameters.

    Rope Drive

     The rope drives are widely used where a large amount


    of power is to be transmitted, from one pulley to
    another, over a considerable distance.
     The rope drives use the following two types of ropes :

    1. Fibre ropes, and 2. Wire ropes.


     The fibre ropes operate successfully when the pulleys
    are about 60 metres apart, while the
     wire ropes are used when the pulleys are upto 150
    metres apart.
    Sheave for Fibre Ropes
     The fibre ropes are usually circular in cross-section as shown in Fig..
    The sheave for the fibre ropes is shown in Fig.. The groove angle of
    the pulley for rope drives is usually 45°. The grooves in the pulleys
    are made narrow at the bottom and the rope is pinched between the
    edges of the V-groove to increase the holding power of the rope on
    the pulley

     Ratio of driving tension is


    problems
    1. A rope drive transmits 600 kW from a pulley of effective
    diameter 4 m, which runs at a speed of 90 r.p.m. The angle
    of lap is 160° ; the angle of groove 45° ; the coefficient of
    friction 0.28 ; the mass of rope 1.5 kg / m and the
    allowable tension in each rope 2400 N. Find the number
    of ropes required.
    2. A pulley used to transmit power by means of ropes has a
    diameter of 3.6 metres and has 15 grooves of 45° angle.
    The angle of contact is 170° and the coefficient of friction
    between the ropes and the groove sides is 0.28. The
    maximum possible tension in the ropes is 960 N and the
    mass of the rope is 1.5 kg per metre length. What is the
    speed of pulley in r.p.m. and the power transmitted if the
    condition of maximum power prevail ?
