Common failures and troubleshooting of vane pump

Wearing of vane pump is relatively low and service time of parts and
components is relatively long. The reasons causing failures of vane pump
mostly include contamination of hydraulic oil. As some moving parts in vane
pump have a precision mating, abnormal wearing or seizing will be easily
caused after contaminants enter. Therefore the assurance of clean hydraulic
oil and unobstructed oil suction is essential to ensure normal operation of vane
pump.

Appendix

Discarding standards for wire rope
1
Property and number of broken wires

The general design of lifting machinery doesnt allow infinitely long life time
of wire rope.
6 8
()

For 6-strand and 8-strand wire rope, broken wire mostly occurs to the
external surface. However, it is different for the wire rope with multi-layer
rope strand (typical multi-strand structure). Broken wire mostly occurs to the
interior of such a wire rope. Therefore, it is an invisible breakage.
2
Broken wire at rope end



If broken wire occurs to the rope end or its surrounding, it will indicate a high
stress in this position even when the number of broken wires is very low. It
may be caused due to improper installation of rope end. The reason for
damage shall be found out. If the length of rope is allowed, the position with
broken wire shall be cut off and it shall be properly installed again.
3
Local accumulation of broken wire

6d

Page 97 of 105
If broken wires are close to each other and their local accumulation is
formed, then the wire rope shall be discarded. If these broken wires are
accumulated within the range of rope length less than 6d or are centralized
in any rope strand, the wire rope shall be discarded even when the number
of broken wires is less than the listed value.
4
Increasing rate of broken wires

In some operational case, fatigue is the major reason leading to the damage
of wire rope. The occurrence of broken wires starts after a period of
operation. However, with gradual increase in the number of broken wires,
the time interval becomes shorter. In such a case, to determine the
increasing rate of broken wires, the increase condition of broken wires shall
be carefully inspected and recorded. Ascertaining this rule will contribute to
determining the date for discarding the wire rope in future.
5
Breakage of rope strand

If a breakage of whole rope strand occurs, the wire rope shall be discarded.
6
Reduced rope diameter caused due to damaged rope core
()

If a significant reduction in the rope diameter is caused due to the breakage


of fiber core or steel core (or internal rope strand in multi-layer structure) in a
wire rope, the wire rope shall be discarded.

98

Small damage maybe not obvious in the normal inspection method,


especially when all stresses in individual rope strands are in a good balance.
However, such a case will lead to a significant reduction in the strength of
wire rope. Therefore, if any tiny internal damage sign is found, the interior of
wire rope shall be inspected for clarification. Once it is verified that it is
damaged, this wire rope shall be discarded.
7
Reduced elasticity
()

In some case (usually related to the operating environment) the elasticity of


wire rope will be significantly reduced. If its operation is continued, it will be
unsafe.

The elasticity reduction of wire rope is hard to be discovered. If the


inspection person has any suspicion, the expert for wire rope shall be
consulted for opinions. However, the elasticity reduction is usually
accompanied with the following signs:
a.
Reduced rope diameter;
b.
The wire rope has extended lay length;
c.
Due to mutual pressing of individual parts, clearance is in shortage between
wires and between rope strands;
d.
Tiny brown powder appears in the recess of rope strand;

99
e.

Although no broken wire occurs, the occurrence of significant bending


resistance and diameter reduction in the wire rope is faster than the case
caused due to simply wire wearing. Such a case will lead to sudden
breakage under the effect of dynamic load. Therefore, it shall be discarded
immediately.
8
External and internal wearing

Two cases leading to wearing:
a.
Internal wearing and indentation

Such a case is caused due to the friction between individual rope strands
and wires in the rope, especially when the wire rope withstands the bending.
b.
External wearing

The wearing in the wire surface of rope strand in the external layer of wire
rope is caused due to the contact and friction between it and rope groove in
pulley and spool under the effect of pressure. This phenomenon is
especially obvious in the contact position between wire rope and pulley
during lifting acceleration and deceleration movement and it is represented
as flat shape of worn external wires.

100

Insufficient lubrication or incorrect lubrication and the presence of dust and
sand particle will speed up the wearing.

40
The wearing results in the reduced cross-section area of wire rope and
consequently the strength reduction. If the wearing of wire in the external
layer reaches 40% of its diameter, the wire rope shall be discarded.
7

If the diameter of wire rope is reduced by 7% or more relative to nominal


diameter, the wire rope shall be discarded even when no broken wire is
found.
9
External and internal corrosion

Corrosion occurs very easily in the oceanic or industrial pollution


atmosphere. It not only reduces the metal area of wire rope and
consequently the breaking strength, but also leads to the rough surface and
consequently starting the development of cracks and speeding up fatigue.
Severe corrosion will additionally results in the elasticity reduction of wire
rope.
9.1
External corrosion

The corrosion of external wire can be observed with eyes. If a deep recess
occurs to the surface and the wires are very slack, it shall be discarded.
9.2
Internal corrosion

101

It is more difficult to discover internal corrosion, relative to the external
corrosion accompanying its appearance. However, the following signs can
be available for identification:
a.

Change in the diameter of wire rope. The diameter of bending part of wire
rope round the pulley usually becomes smaller. However, for the wire rope
in the static section, the increase in the diameter of wire rope will be usually
caused due to the rust accumulation occurring to the rope strand in the
external layer.
b.

The clearance between rope strands in the external layer of wire rope is
reduced and it is usually accompanied with the occurrence of broken wires
between rope strands in the external layer. If any sign of internal corrosion is
present, the internal inspection of wire rope shall be performed by a
supervisor. If it is confirmed that severe internal corrosion is existent, the
wire rope shall be discarded immediately.
10
Deformation
(
)
The case that a wire rope loses its normal shape and a visible malformation
is generated is called as the deformation. This deformation position (or
malformation position) may lead to a change and it will result in non-uniform
stress distribution inside the wire rope.

The deformation of wire rope can be classified by its appearance into mostly
the following types:

102
10.1
Wave

A wave deformation means that: the longitudinal axis of wire rope becomes
a spiral line shape. This deformation may not lead to any loss of strength.
However, if the deformation is severe, it will result in bounce which leads to
irregular transmission. After a long period, it will cause wearing and broken
wires.
25d d14d/3

When a wave deformation appears within the range of wire rope length not
exceeding 25d, the wire rope shall be discarded if d1 4d/3.
d d1
Wherein, d is the nominal diameter of wire rope; d1 is the envelope diameter
of wire rope after deformation.
10.2
Cage-shape distortion

This deformation occurs to a wire rope with steel core. If a disjunction occurs
to the rope strand in the external layer of it becomes longer than internal
rope strand, this deformation will occur. The wire rope to which a
cage-shape distortion occurs shall be discarded immediately.
10.3
Rope strand extruding

This condition is usually generated with the cage-shape distortion. The

103
extruded rope strand indicates unbalance of wire rope. The wire rope with
rope strand extruding shall be immediately discarded.
10.4
Wire extruding

This deformation is that a part of wires or wire bundles hunch up to form a


ring shape in the side of wire rope opposite to pulley groove. This
deformation is usually caused due to impact load. If this deformation is
severe, the wire rope shall be discarded.
10.5
Local increase of rope diameter

()

Local increase may occur to the diameter of wire rope and a significantly
long section of wire rope can be influenced. The increase of rope diameter is
usually related to the distortion of rope core (for example, the fiber core is
expanded due to moisture in a special environment). The inevitable
consequence is unbalance occurring to rope strand in the external layer,
consequently leading to incorrect positioning.

The wire rope with severe local increase of rope diameter shall be
discarded.
10.6
Kinking

The kinking is a deformation caused when a wire rope in a ring shape is


tensioned in the case that it cannot be turned round its axis. Its consequence

104
is the occurrence of extra wearing caused due to non-uniform lay length. If it
is severe, the wire rope will be warped so that only a very low amount of
strength remains in the wire rope.

The wire rope with severe kinking shall be immediately discarded.
10.7
Local decrease of rope diameter

The local decrease in the diameter of wire rope is usually related to the
breakage of rope core. The position adjacent to the rope end shall be
specially inspected for such deformation.

The wire rope whose rope diameter is severely decreased in a local position
shall be discarded.
10.8
Partial flattening

The partial flattening of wire rope is caused due to a mechanical accident. If
it is severe, the wire rope shall be discarded.
10.9
Buckling

Buckling is an angular deformation caused to a wire rope under the external
effect.

The wire rope with this deformation shall be immediately discarded.
