lt`s surprlslng to us how
few professlonals exhlblt the
proper degree of oare they
should when handllng
elevator holst ropes.
Some even treat them
as lf they`re lndestruotlble.
lf only that were so. ^otually that they are
oomplex, preolsely englneered devloes made of soft
steel, offerlng many flexlble oomponents.
For lnstanoe an 8 x 19 Seale holst rope (one o|
the o|d |avorítes o| the índustry) has 152 movlng
parts, oonslstlng of elght strands oomposed of 19
wlres per strand. Thls permlts the rope to be both
flexlble as well as strong and durable. 0therwlse
holst ropes would ohew lnto surroundlng maohlnery
(such as sheaves) and wear out too qulokly.
Certalnly lf holst ropes were not englneered to readlly
bend, flex and readjust, today`s faster aooeleratlng
and deoeleratlng elevator systems (whích demand
reverse bend ropíng arrangements, the use
o| mu|típ|e de||ector sheaves, tíghter sheave
p|acements, sma||er components and compact
ínsta||atíon desígns) would be lmposslble to oreate.
0ne should not forget that holst ropes oan serve
as a dlagnostlo tool as well. Some professlonals oan
slmply look at a rope and determlne what problems
need to be remedled durlng a malntenanoe vlslt.
lndeed the fastest way to asoertaln the overall
oondltlon of the drlve sheave ls through a oareful
revlew of rope oondltlon. So, holst ropes oertalnly do
more than hang around and llft thlngs up and down.
Naturally we`re not asklng you to handle holst
ropes wlth kld gloves and treat them llke royalty÷
that would be lmpraotloal. But one needs to handle
them oarefully, and then lnstall and malntaln them
oorreotly. That way you`ll get longer rope llfe, better
performanoe and save money. Thls wlll not only
lmpaot both the short and longterm profltablllty of
your buslness, but wlll help ln all our efforts as work
together to preserve valuable natural resouroes.
Iraosport
Holst ropes must always be proteoted agalnst
damage durlng handllng and transport as they oan
easlly be damaged by forkllft forks. Refer to the
drawlngs ln ¨Rope Handllng lrooedures¨ for
reoommended ways to oonvey your holst ropes.
^lways try to llmlt or ellmlnate dlreot physloal oontaot
between the soft wlre of the ropes and hard lndustrlal
surfaoes as thls oan break wlre strands.
Storage

Ropes must always be plaoed on pallets, and
kept dry, olean and dust free. Short term outdoor
storage ls permltted lf the ropes are proteoted from
humldlty. Carefully monltor proteotlve oovers for water
entry or for oondensatlon. Ropes must always be
proteoted agalnst strong sunllght to prevent the
softenlng and drlpplng of oore lubrloant.
üoree||og
Unreel ropes oarefully to avold oreatlng klnks or
lntroduolng torslon. lrlor to unreellng, olean the work
area of dlrt and debrls. Try to llmlt aotual oontaot
between rope and work surfaoes, as thls oan lead to
damage (even as you care|u||y |o||ow the techníques
we show ín 'Pope Hand|íng Procedures')
^s an example, though manufaoturers do permlt
one to roll a reel forward, ln order to allow rope to play
out from beneath, thls oan result ln the rope belng
dragged along and lead to surfaoe strand breaks.
Ato|d Pu|||og

^fter lnstallatlon, takeup and or as part of your
regular malntenanoe routlne, we reoommend you
revlew rope tenslons and keep them equallzed
wlthln

10X.
Remember that s¡mp¡y gaug¡ng tens¡ons
by "p¡uck¡ng" the rope, "eyeba¡¡¡ng" ¡t, or
mere¡y adjust¡ng the spr¡ng or buffer tens¡ons ¡s
NOT SBFF¡C¡ENT ( th¡s ¡s because manufactur¡ng
to¡erances on spr¡ngs and buffers are not
prec¡se¡y contro¡¡ed).
loorly tensloned ropes lnteraot wlth other key
faotors, and thelr lmpaot ls multlplloatlve not merely
addltlve ln nature. Thls means that oomparatlvely
mlnor errors durlng malntenanoe oan lead to severe
degradatlon ln rope performanoe and even
premature rope death. ln faot, lnfrequent, poorly
performed, or negleoted rope equallzatlons oan
negatlvely lmpaot a rope's llfe expeotanoy by up to
50º and oause damage to other oomponents.
Hlgh rope tenslons lead to rapld wear on outer wlres
and sheave grooves. Low rope tenslons oan make
ropes sllde through the sheave grooves and oreate
wear on ropes and sheaves.
To make tenslonlng faster and far more
oosteffeotlve we offer Brugg RLE (Rope Load
Equa¡¡zer), a devloe that turns a tedlous task that
onoe took four manhours lnto a job that takes less
than 30 mlnutes. Deslgned prlnolpally for 2:1
lnstallatlons, RLL oan be oonflgured to work ln
varlety of lnstallatlons where spaoe around the
shaokles ls oonflned or where the deslgn of the
faolllty makes varlous oomponents hard to aooess.
For more lnformatlon ask your Brugg Llftlng
representatlve.
Naturally we offer Brugg RPM (Rope
Performance Measurement ) whloh permlts
slmple verlfloatlon of rope tenslons as a baokup.
However lt, llke every other load measurement devloe
avallable today, uses rope defleotlon as the prlme
basls for all oaloulatlons. ^nd whlle thls speeds the
prooess, thls slmple method ls lnherently flawed and
adds a degree of error to the prooess whloh we flnd
less than ldeal. Thls means that due to Brugg RLL`s
preolslon (whích ís based on the concept o| usíng
hydrau|íc pressure to guarantee that per|ect|y equa|
amount o| tensíons are app|íed to a|| ropes ín a set)
the devloe ls aotually far more preolse than
the devloes that oan be used to verlfy lts results.
As rope performance and ¡ongev¡ty are
cr¡t¡ca¡¡y ¡mpacted by sheave groove depth
var¡at¡ons (where the hardened outer cas¡ng
has been breached and ropes come to sett¡e
¡n the softer meta¡ beneath), Brugg offers
profess¡ona¡s Brugg CDC (Croove Depth
Comparator). Th¡s d¡agnost¡c too¡ a¡¡ows you to

prov¡des you w¡th a s¡mp¡e way to ascerta¡n
overa¡¡ groove hea¡th and dec¡de whether
regroov¡ng or rep¡ac¡ng the sheave are requ¡red.
we strongly urge you make both groove depth
verlfloatlon and rope tenslonlng an lmportant part
of your regular malntenanoe routlne. lf not to
preserve holst rope health ln general, then to avold
the destruotlve longterm lmpaot badly tensloned
ropes wlll have on the oondltlon of your sheaves.

Brugg ropes are lubrloated durlng manufaoture.
However all elevator ropes must be oheoked for
sufflolent lubrloant lmmedlately after lnstallatlon and
be relubrloated as needed. Ropes should never be
operated lf they are not lubrloated.
Use only the proper quantlty of lubrloant for the
job. Lubrloant should not drlp from the rope durlng
elevator operatlon. we hlghly reoommend the use of
the Brugg speolal lubrloant or an equlvalent lubrloant.
Regular rope lubrloatlon has been shown to have
solld, posltlve effeots on overall servloe llfetlmes.
So, wheo |s |uor|cat|oo
rea||¡ oecessar¡?
lf when you touoh a rope lt feels dry and leaves
no olly resldue upon your flnger you should lubrloate
the rope. Ropes should be lubrloated onoe per year
or every 250,000 oyoles.
|uor|cat|oo 0u|de||oes
The ohart above oan serve as gulde to determlne
the oorreot amount of lubrloant to use for a varlety of
rope dlameters.
Ropes should be routlnely lubrloated wlth an
even applloatlon of lube over the entlre surfaoe of
the rope (Brugg o||ers V1 Lubrlcator, a |íghtweíght
app|ícator, |or detaí|s ask your Brugg representatíve).
Lubrloatlon outdoors must only be oarrled out ln dry
weather. lt ls essentlal that the rope ls ¨olean¨ prlor
to lubrloatlon. We reccmmend that rcpes be |ubricated
cnce a year at |east~cr every 250,000 cyc|es (starts7
tr¡ps).
Brugg V1 Lubrlcant ls a llghtbodled oll for use
as a fleld dresslng on elevator ropes and has been

when oleanlng
ropes never use a
degreaser or agents
wlth solvents.
Never apply solvents to slsal oore ropes as they oan
remove manufaoturer lubrloant and destroy the holst
rope oore.
Brugg recommends a ¡ubr¡cant for ho¡st
ropes w¡th an ¡SO grade of 10, a V¡scos¡ty
¡ndex (ASTM D-2270) of no ¡ower than 80, w¡th
a V¡scos¡ty#104°740°C CST7SBS (ASTM-D4457

New lubrloants should be oompatlble wlth the

Llevator ropes must be oarefully lnspeoted durlng
lnstallatlon, and regularly afterwards, by quallfled
malntenanoe personnel. Routlne lnspeotlon lntervals
should be soheduled and rlgorously adhered to, so
potentlal damage oan be deteoted and addressed ln
tlme. The determlnatlon of when a holst rope should
be dlsoarded and the proper way an lnstallatlon
must be monltored should be made ln aooordanoe
wlth DIN 15020, sheet 2- and ASME A17.1 tab|e
10001.2 J2)J29)Ja)~A17.2.1. tab|e 3.29.1 Ja).
Dependlng upon the type and number of wlre
breaks, the number of bearlng wlres ln the outer
strands ls orltloal ln determlnlng rope dlsoard tlmes.
we reoommend that all data aoqulred durlng an

others to use. we also reoommend that rope
termlnatlons be regularly lnspeoted.

^s a holst rope engages the sheave groove

of frlotlon and wear. Lventually traotlon, bendlng and

The worn holst rope wlll eventually erode the
sheave groove surfaoe and oome to rest ln a sllghtly

when new ropes are plaoed on thls sheave they
oannot flt (as these ropes are wíthín to|erance) ln thls
