Determining rope spacing
The most precise measurement of rope spacing is obtained by measuring over all the ropes.
| Rope spacing is: | distance from first to last rope No. of rope spaces |
| Example: | |
| No. of grooves: | 6 |
| No. of rope spaces is: | number of grooves - 1 = 5 |
| Distance from first to last rope is: | 100 |
| Rope space is:: | distance from first to last rope No. of rope spaces |
| Equals: | 100 mm 5 |
| Result: | 20 mm |
