Safe use of mine winding ropes, volume 6: studies towards a code of practice for the performance, operation, testing and maintenance of drub winders. Safety in Mines Research Advisory Committee, GAP 054, April, 1996, pp 1-135http://hdl.handle.net/10204/1686This research study attempts to determine the maximum rope force in the rope of a mine winding system subsequent to a break control system failure. Four different winder ropes were evaluated: a 4000m Blair multi system; a 2300m Blair multi system; a 2500m double drum system; and a 1800m double drum system. The deeper shaft systems exhibited higher rope forces than the shallower systems. The 4000m system had the highest rope force as a friction of the rope breaking strength. A rope force of 60% of the rope breaking strength was calculated for this system. The lowest static factors of the deeper winds resulted in the higher rope forces calculated for these winding systems.enMine winding ropesSIMRACGAP 054Rope condition assessmentConference PresentationHecker, G., & Kroonstuiver, J.
