Wire rope end caps refer to adding one end cap at each end of the wire rope to prevent it from loosening or loosening. This can increase the service life and safety of the steel wire rope. The sealing operation of steel wire ropes is a relatively cumbersome process that requires proficiency in certain skills and operating steps. Here are some basic operating steps for wire rope sealing heads:

1、 Preparation work

Firstly, it is necessary to prepare the necessary materials and tools. The materials mainly include steel wire ropes, heads, plugs for making heads, taps for making heads, and necessary safety equipment. Tools include pliers, scissors, wrenches, compressors, etc.

2、 Cutting and bending of steel wire ropes

During the production process of the head, it is necessary to cut and bend the two ends of the steel wire rope separately.

1. Cutting of steel wire rope: First, determine the length of the steel wire rope through measurement, and then use a steel wire cutter to cut the steel wire rope into appropriate lengths.

2. Bending of wire rope: Clamp pliers at the end of the wire rope and bend the wire rope at a 90 degree angle. Afterwards, bend it again within a certain angle to achieve the desired angle.

3、 Making heads

Making head is the Committed step of wire rope head operation. Firstly, it is necessary to use a wrench to fix the plug used to make the sealing head onto the pliers. Then, use a tap to make holes of a certain size and shape at the end of the plug. After completion, the plug needs to be fixed at the end of the wire rope for compression. In the gap formed between the wire rope and the plug, wire rope sealing wax should be used to seal and maintain uniform pressure during compression. Then compress the plug through the compressor until the plug is Tight junction with the wire rope.

4、 Safety inspection

After completing the head operation, it is necessary to conduct a safety check on the head to ensure that all connections are strong. If any problems are found, they must be adjusted and corrected in a timely manner.

5、 Maintenance and upkeep

After completing the wire rope sealing operation, maintenance and upkeep of the wire rope are required. In general, maintenance and replacement are required at regular intervals to ensure the good condition and safety performance of the steel wire rope. During use, pay attention to maintaining dryness and cleanliness, while avoiding strong impact or tension.

In summary, the operation steps of the steel wire rope head are relatively complex, requiring operators to strictly follow the operating procedures and safety operation guidelines to ensure safety and service life during the use of the steel wire rope.
