MACWHYTE WIRE ROPE MULTIPLE-PART WIRE ROPE REEVINGS supported by multplepart wire rings. the load on each rope part is equal to the weight ‘like load supported. divided by the aumber ot parts of rope ‘supporting the load. But, when a load so supported ia valsed, {he sto58 in each rope part increanes progressively from the ‘dood end to the lead line. This increased sireas ts dve tothe ‘Sumulotive effect of friction inthe sheave bearings, and the free fequlted to bend the rope cround the sheaves ‘Becauso of this and in order to have equiorim, those para of amuliple eoving nearest the hoisting drum will have eghty ‘nore than ther propertionate load. while those larthet from the rum will have lose, ond the sum of the stresses io all parts Supporting the Toad ‘wil be equal to the load.
