What is the Term ‘Wire Rope Safety Factor?

Wire ropes are essential for safety purposes on construction sites and industrial workplaces. They are used to secure and transport extremely heavy pieces of equipment – so they must be strong enough to withstand substantial loads. This is why the wire rope safety factor is crucial.

You may have heard that it is always recommended to use wire ropes or slings with a higher breaking strength than the actual load. For instance, say that you need to move 50,000 lbs. with an overhead crane. You should generally use equipment with a working load limit that is rated for weight at least five times higher – or 250,000 lbs. in this case.

This recommendation is all thanks to the wire rope safety factor. This calculation is designed to help you determine important numbers, such as the minimum breaking strength and the working load limit of a wire rope.

At Elite Sales, we get a lot of questions regarding overhead lifting equipment. But as a wire rope distributor, explaining safety factors is one of the most important topics to discuss.

So, let’s break down what the wire rope safety factor is and what it means for overhead lifting, rigging, and construction purposes.

Safety Factor Meaning

The safety factor is a measurement of how strong of a force a wire rope can withstand before it breaks. It is commonly stated as a ratio, such as 5:1. This means that the wire rope can hold five times their Safe Work Load (SWL) before it will break.

So, if a 5:1 wire rope’s SWL is 10,000 lbs., the safety factor is 50,000 lbs. However, you would never want to place a load near 50,000 lbs. for wire rope safety reasons.

The safety factor rating of a wire rope is the calculation of the Minimum Break Strength (MBS) or the Minimum Breaking Load (MBL) compared to the highest absolute maximum load limit. It is crucial to use a wire rope with a high ratio to account for factors that could influence the weight of the load.

Some of these factors that can impact the strength of the wire rope include:

Speed of operation

Rope attachments

Wind velocity and weather conditions

Acceleration and deceleration

Length of the rope

Uneven loading

Shock loading (unexpected drops)

To account for these factors and ensure that the load does not approach the MBL, it is wise to choose a wire rope with a good safety factor ratio.

Safe Working Load

The Safe Working Load (SWL) is a measurement that is required by law to be clearly marked on all lifting devices – including hoists, lifting machines, and tackles. However, this is not visibly listed on wire ropes, so it is important to understand what this term means and how to calculate it.

The way to determine the SWL is by squaring the diameter of the rope and multiplying it by 8 kgs. Thankfully, most wire rope distributors will present this calculation for you.

The safe working load will change depending on the diameter of the wire rope and its weight per foot. Of course, the smaller the wire rope is, the lower its SWL will be. The SWL also changes depending on the safety factor ratio.

The swaged safety wire rope sling is essential for safety purposes on lighting, construction sites, and industrial workplaces. They are used to secure light or heavy pieces of a lighting fixture or other equipment.

The swaged safety wire rope sling is usually used on LED Lights, Art paintings, display billboards, and other items which has to secure it from high hanging ceilings. It is a second security to prevent the items which are on the high ceilings from falling down under special or unexpected circumstances

Attention:

1. The safety wire rope sling must be installed correctly and by a qualified fitter into a reliable material to achieve the working load

2. Make sure to use a reliable and secure fixing for the object being suspended

3. Not to be used outside

4. Make sure the wire has no defects before use. Use only for static loads

5. A minimum of two suspensions are recommended per item being suspended

6. Always remove or support the load before making any adjustments

7. Supplied in ready-to-use kits

8. Available with a range of connector types and thread sizes

9. Extensive ceiling fixing options available to suit most substrates

Advantage

The swaged wire rope sling can be used on the panel lights, downlights, or artwork, etc.

Easy installation that does not require a professional.

Secure the eyelets on one end of the downlights or panel lights, another end with hooks can be hanging on the ceiling or anywhere is secured. 

The swaged wire rope sling is ideal for the home, museums, art galleries, public buildings, corporate identity, or wherever visual communication is important

Confused about how to select your Swaged wire rope sling?

1. Choose which style would you need. 

The wire rope sling can be DIY to have different items on each end, it can be looped, swaged steel eyelet, or any kind of hook.

2. Pick a Cable
Our stainless steel aircraft cable comes in several diameters and lengths ranging from 1.0mm~3.0mm;

3. Consider your lights

To check what's the connect way your light can be connected with the safety wire rope sling, then choose to have an eyelet or hooks or loop on the end.

Application

Lighting, Machinery, Medical, Security, Sporting Goods, Toys, Window, Lawn & garden. When designing a cable assembly, a number of factors need to be considered such as workload, abrasion, cycle life, and flexibility, environment, cost, safety .etc. the larger the diameter, the greater the workload capacity and the less flexible it will be.
