How To Reduce The Wire Rope Wear of Rotary Drilling RIGS

The steel wire rope of a rotary drilling rig is a key component, and its wear and tear directly affects the construction efficiency and cost. Mastering scientific protection methods can effectively extend the service life of steel wire ropes. The following are the practical key points for reducing losses for you:

1. Control the lifting weight: Operate strictly in accordance with the rated load of the equipment to avoid overloading. Overloading will cause the steel wire rope to bear excessive tension, accelerating the wear and fatigue fracture of the internal steel wires.

2. Standardize operation procedures: Accelerate smoothly during lifting and avoid sudden stops and turns. When lowering the drilling tools, control the speed to prevent the steel wire rope from rubbing against components such as the casing due to violent shaking.

3. Regular lubrication and maintenance: Apply special lubricant to the steel wire rope at regular intervals, with a focus on the gaps between the rope strands. Lubrication can reduce the friction between steel wires, prevent rust and extend the service life.

4. Check the wear condition: Before daily operation, inspect the surface wear, broken wires and deformation degree of the steel wire rope. If the number of broken wires exceeds the specified limit or cage-like distortion occurs, it should be replaced in time.

5. Adjust the pulley status: Ensure that the guide pulley and the crane pulley rotate flexibly, and check the wear depth of the pulley grooves. Pulley failure can cause uneven wear of the steel wire rope, increasing the risk of wear and tear.

6. Proper storage protection: When idle, clean the steel wire rope and wind it around the drum to avoid direct sunlight and contact with corrosive substances. Keep the storage environment dry and well-ventilated.

Conclusion: To reduce the wire rope wear of rotary drilling RIGS, efforts should be made in multiple aspects such as operation norms, daily maintenance, and condition checks. Through scientific protection, not only can the replacement cost be reduced, but also the construction safety can be guaranteed and the overall operational efficiency of the equipment can be improved.
