Sheaves are an essential component of the crane and lifting industries. Sheaves are pulley wheels with grooved rims that are used to guide and support cables, ropes, and chains. They are used to change the direction of the load, increase the mechanical advantage of the lifting system, and reduce the amount of force needed to lift the load. Sheaves are typically made from steel, aluminum, or plastic and come in a variety of sizes and configurations. The most common type of sheave is the single-groove sheave, which is used to guide a single cable or rope. Double-groove sheaves are used to guide two cables or ropes, while multiple-groove sheaves are used to guide more than two cables or ropes. Sheaves are used in a variety of crane and lifting applications, including overhead cranes, gantry cranes, jib cranes, hoists, and winches.
