3.1.3
Lubricating a hoist cable
The hoisting cable must be regularly greased or
lubricated with Teflon.
For this, use for example:
- IGOL SHP 50 grease
- A lubricant spray PRO-LUBE Teflon.
Never use products containing bisulphite or MoS2
(Molikote).
Only cables recommended by FIXATOR provide
safe hoist operation. The removal’s criteria to
follow are those of the ISO4309.
The diameter should not be reduced by more than
10% (for wire rope Ø 6.5-6.8 mm) : min 6.1mm
The cables must be replaced in the following cases:
-
More than 10 wires broken over a length of
20 cm for wire rope Ø 6.5-6.8 mm.
-
“Basket” deformation or rupture of one of the
cable strands.
-
Cable crushed, unravelling.
-
Considerable oxidation
When using a plastic return pulley, they must be
replaced once they have been used with cables
having at least one broken wire.
