The service life of PET coated wire rope is affected by various factors, including but not limited to load size, working environment (such as temperature, humidity, corrosiveness, etc.), frequency of use, maintenance situation, and usage mode (such as pulley friction, bending, etc.). Therefore, it is impossible to provide a specific and universally applicable service life. However, the general service life of coated steel wire rope can be used as a reference to roughly estimate the service life of PET coated wire rope.

Generally speaking, the service life of coated steel wire rope is around 2-5 years, but this time range may vary due to different factors mentioned above. For PET coated wire ropes, due to the use of PET as the coating material, they may have higher wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and insulation performance, resulting in a relatively longer service life. However, this does not mean that PET coated wire ropes can be used indefinitely and still require regular inspection and maintenance.

In order to extend the service life of PET coated wire rope, the following measures are recommended:

1. Choose the appropriate coating material: Ensure a strong bond between the PET coating and the steel wire rope substrate, and that the coating material has excellent wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and insulation properties.

2. Control load: Avoid using the wire rope beyond its rated load to reduce damage to the wire rope.

3. Regular maintenance: Regularly clean the dirt and corrosive substances on the surface of the steel wire rope, and apply appropriate protective coating to reduce corrosion and aging.

4. Avoid strong friction and bending: During use, try to minimize damage to the steel wire rope by avoiding strong friction and bending.

In short, the service life of PET coated wire rope is a problem that requires comprehensive consideration of multiple factors. By selecting appropriate coating materials, controlling loads, conducting regular maintenance, and avoiding strong friction and bending, its service life can be extended and its performance can be maximally protected.
