Wire Rope Selection

(OP)
Does anyone know of a website, article or textbook that describes the selection and/or sizing of wire rope?

RE: Wire Rope Selection

I've used this site to get information, but only because they are fairly local to my location.

Have you read FAQ731-376 to make the best use of Eng-Tips Forums?

RE: Wire Rope Selection

Pretty good overview here...  http://www.findarticles.com/cf_dls/m3125/n12_v70/210386...
  Also, Machinery's Handbook has a nice section and most vendors have good design guidelines in their catalogs.  Might want to pick up a few of those.

RE: Wire Rope Selection

Look in Shigley's "Mechanical Engineering Design" Ch. 15-6 in the 1977 ed.
