Steel wire rope is a type of rope made by twisting multiple strands of steel wire, commonly used in lifting, transportation, hanging, and other fields. The tying of steel wire ropes is mainly used to connect or fix the two ends of the rope, or to create handles at the ends of the rope. The following is an introduction to common knotting methods for steel wire ropes:

Single knot:

Single locking is one of the simplest tying methods. Firstly, cross the ends of the rope to form a loop. Then, thread the end back into one side of the ring to form a fixed knot. Single locking is suitable for light loads and temporary fixation.

Shearlashing:

A horn knot is a knot used for tying tools or rods. Wrap the rope around one end of the bound object and then cross through the circular part of the rope. Continue to cross the rope through the circular section to form a cross mesh structure. Finally, thread the end of the rope through the mesh structure to secure the rope. The horn knot can provide good firmness and retention.

Slipperyhitch:

Sliding entanglement is a type of knot that can easily adjust the length of the rope. Wrap one section of the rope around a fixed object, and then pass the other end through the circular part formed by the rope. Then, a section of the rope is stretched, forming a sliding plug. By dragging the position of the sliding plug, the length of the rope can be increased or decreased. Slippery knots are often used for temporary tying or quick adjustment situations.

Square buckle is a very common tying method that can be used to fix both ends of a rope, serve as a handle at the end of the rope, or for activities such as climbing and rope descent. Firstly, cross the ends of the rope to form a loop, and thread the ends back into one side of the loop. Then, the rope bypasses the original ring part, forming a structure similar to the number "8". Finally, thread the end of the rope into one side of the last ring. The square buckle provides good firmness and anti slip performance.

Stopperknot:

The stop loss knot is used to prevent the rope from slipping out at the end point. It can tie knots at the end of the rope to form a fixed structure to prevent the rope from slipping out of the rope clamp or rope slide. Common stop loss knots include one sided knot and two sided knot. These knots are very simple, but the effect is good.

Bowlineknot:

Banana buckle is a method of tying knots at the end of a rope, which creates a fixed circular handle. Firstly, leave enough gap at the end of the rope, then pass the rope through the formed gap and bypass the main part of the rope. Then, the rope returns to the gap and passes upwards through the main body. Finally, thread the tail of the rope into the previous gap. Banana knots provide good firmness and anti slip properties.

The above are common tying methods for steel wire ropes. Different tying methods are suitable for different situations and purposes. In practical operation, appropriate tying methods should be selected based on specific needs
