When to Replace a Sheave
Worn rope grooves will threaten the performance and potentially the safety of your elevator system. Sheaves should be regularly inspected; signs of pronounced or uneven groove wear can be signs of a variety of issues that tend to accelerate deterioration.
The frequency of inspection and likelihood of sheave regrooving (or replacement) will depend on what kind of demand your system experiences, its age, and the configuration of its sheaves and their groove designs.
