There are various methods for inserting steel wire ropes, and the following are some common insertion methods:

1. Mechanical head insertion:

Mechanical head insertion is a method of connecting the two ends of a steel wire rope using a specially designed mechanical joint. This insertion method is usually suitable for large-diameter steel wire ropes. During the insertion process, it is necessary to separate the steel strands and insert the mechanical joint into them, and then fix the steel wire rope to the joint through bolts or fixing devices. The advantage of mechanical head insertion is its high insertion strength, which can maintain the original strength of the steel wire rope.

2. Epoxy bonding:

Epoxy bonding is a common insertion method suitable for various diameters of steel wire ropes. Firstly, peel off the outer protective and insulating layer from both ends of the steel wire rope to be inserted, and then clean and polish the surface of the steel strand with a corrosive agent or copper brush to make it shiny. Next, apply epoxy adhesive to the surface of the steel strand and place both ends tightly together, securing them with tape or other fixtures. After completion, after a certain period of curing, the insertion part can have high strength.

3. Hot press insertion:

Hot press splicing is a method of heating both ends of wire rope, and then connecting them by using the principle of Thermal expansion. During the insertion process, special hot pressing equipment needs to be used to heat the steel wire rope to an appropriate temperature and place both ends together. When the steel strand is cooled, due to Thermal expansion effect, both ends of the wire rope will be Tight junction. The advantages of hot pressing insertion are high insertion strength, easy operation, and suitability for various diameters and materials of steel wire ropes.

4. Melt welding:

Fusion welding is a kind of splicing method that connects the two ends of steel wire rope by fusion welding. During the insertion process, the two ends of the steel wire rope are melted and placed together, and then fused and welded to form a whole. This welding method requires the use of appropriate welding equipment and processes, and the selection of appropriate welding materials and current parameters based on the material and diameter of the steel wire rope. Melt welding can achieve seamless connection of steel wire ropes with high insertion strength.

It should be noted that before selecting the insertion method and performing the insertion operation, it is recommended to refer to the actual application requirements and relevant specifications, select the appropriate insertion method based on the material, diameter, and other characteristics of the steel wire rope, and follow the correct operating steps to ensure the quality and reliability of the insertion. During the insertion process, it is also necessary to pay attention to safety protection measures to prevent accidental injury.
