Abstract
Wire rope contents dozens–even hundreds of individual wires which are formed and fabricated to
move or operate at close tolerances to one another. When a wire rope bends, each of its many wires
slides and adjusts to accommodate the differences in length between the inside and outside of the
bend. The sharper the bend, the greater the movement this creates wrong spooling of wire rope. Ever
since the development of wire rope, comprising multiple wire strands, spooling the wire has
presented technical challenges. When wrapped in multiple layers, the upper layers have a tendency
to crush the lower layers, while the lower layers have a tendency to pinch upper layers. The rubbing
of rope against rope also has a tendency to cause wear. This paper analysis the parameters related to
the spooling of wire rope like fleet angle, tension etc. This paper also presents design and analysis of
rack and pinion mechanism for wire rope spooling process. For this we designed different
conceptual models and analyzed them under maximum loading condition. After comparing the
results best design is selected and it will be found easily possible for manufacturing and operating.
