Can the traction rope of the anti fall device be lubricated

The traction ropes of anti fall devices are mostly made of steel wire ropes, which usually have very good strength and can ensure the safety of high-altitude workers. Recently, someone raised the question of whether the steel wire ropes of anti fall devices need lubrication treatment. Below, we will answer this question for you.

Normally, the steel wire rope of the anti fall device does not require lubrication treatment because lubrication treatment may cause some negative effects. During the use of the anti fall device, the steel wire rope will be exposed to the air for a long time. Over time, the lubricated steel wire rope is more likely to absorb dust and impurities in the air. When it is recovered into the shell, it will affect the cleanliness of the entire steel wire rope and bring great inconvenience to its maintenance.

In general, the key to maintaining a fall arrester is regular inspection and maintenance to ensure that the rope has no obvious damage or wear. If any problems are found, the damaged parts should be replaced immediately instead of attempting to prevent protection through lubrication. Therefore, the steel wire rope of the anti fall device should not be lubricated. In addition, the manufacturer's recommendations and guidelines should be followed to ensure the normal operation and safety performance of the anti fall device.
