6.10 Flashcards
Strand
Made of wires twisted together
Cable
Made of strands twisted together
What forces to Cables and Pulleys transmit
Tension and Pulling
What device is used to keep tension in a Single cable system
Spring Loaded Device
What is Preforming
Bending of strands to there position in a cable
What metals are Cables made from
Galvanised Carbon Steel
Stainless Steel
CRS
What kind of forces (stresses) act on a cable
Tension Stress and Bending
What is Tensile Strength of a Cable Dependent on
Size
Material
Construction
Explain Cables looses strength due to bending
The inability for strands and wires to adjust themselves when the cable is bent
Explain Fatigue sue to bending in Cables
Small cracks form under bending loads
Eventually causes Fatigue failure
Wear of a Cable is determined by
Outer Wire Size
Composition
Construction
Larger Outer wires have
More wear resistance
Misaligned Pulleys will cause an increase in
Cable Wear
What effect will stretching of a cable have on output
Produce an Uneven Delayed and Reduced Output
Structural Stretch
Core Compression
