Crane Sheave Specification: Groove Profile, Material, and Hardening
The three critical sheave specification parameters — groove profile, D/d ratio, and groove hardness — and inspection criteria for groove wear.
Sheave Groove Profile and Wire Rope Compatibility for Crane Hoisting
Correct groove radius formula, rope construction effects, D/d ratio minimums per ASME B30.2, and how groove wear degrades rope-groove relationship.
