1、Technical Notes Volume 1, Number 14 Basic Principles for Suspending Loudspeaker Systems Introduction: Contractors and sound installers hang loudspeaker equipment in public meeting places and performing arts facilities as a matter of routine. This Technical Note details rigging practices appropriate

2、for the sound industry, and is intended to familiarize readers with the proper hardware and techniques for hanging installations. To insure a safe installation and to protect workers on the job site, this work should be undertaken only by persons with knowledge of the proper hardware and safe riggin

3、g practices. This Technical Note contains data for rated capacity for various pieces of hardware, based upon manufacturers specifications for products in new condition and free from defects, either apparent or hidden. All rated load values, unless otherwise noted, are for in-line pullalong the cente

4、rline of the item. It is the responsibility of the installer to inspect and determine the actual condition of the equipment used, and to incorporate design factors appropriate to the local job conditions. Where doubt exists as to the actual condition or ratings of hardware, it should not be used. Lo

5、ad ratings shown herein are are based upon usual environmental conditions. Further considerations must be given to item selection when unusual conditions are encountered. All products used for hanging purposes are subject to wear, misuse, overloading, corrosion, deformation, alteration and other usa

6、ge factors which may necessitate a reduction in the products capacity rating or a reduction in its design factor. It is recommended that all products used for rigging and hanging purposes be inspected prior to each use as a basis for determining if the product may continue to be used at its rated ca

14、actor is a term used by the rigging industry to denote theoretical reserve capability. The rated capacity of all lifting and hanging equipment is based upon the nominal strength of the equipment reduced by the design factor. Design factor is a number representing the fraction of equipment nominal st

15、rength chosen to be appropriate for the particular application. RATED CAPACITY = NOMINAL STRENGTH DESIGN FACTOR Example: Design factor = 5 Rated capacity of equipment is only 1/5 of its nominal strength. Minimum design factors vary according to the application, and may be regulated from location-to-

16、location. No design factor discussed herein should be assumed to represent a recommendation on the part of JBL. Users must assume all responsibility for the determination of design factors suitable for local conditions. Shock Loading: When a load is suddenly moved or stopped, its weight may be magni

17、fied many times the original value. This is known as shock loading. Shock loading of lifting equipment should be avoided at all times. Shock loads will usually be instantaneous and may go undetected unless equipment is visibly damaged. No equipment is designed to compensate for poor rigging practice

18、s or foolish planning, however. Every tool and piece of equipment has limitations. Safe working practices demand that these limitations be known and fully understood, and that they never be intentionally exceeded. A 900 pound loudspeaker cluster dropped four inches could cause a shock load of 4500 p

19、ounds if the rigging were attached to rigid structures and of a material that would not stretch. However, because all rigging will stretch under shock loading, the exact shock load on a piece of equipment isnt easily predicted. To protect people and property, all tools and equipment should be limite

20、d to stresses that are several times smaller than their minimum breaking strengths. Although shock loading of equipment and structure is usually confined to lifting and installation, it should also be recognized that other forces (such as earthquakes) 2 can impose shock loads upon structures many ti

21、mes that of the static load. It is therefore imperative that hardware and structures be capable of supporting several times the weight of the equipment being hung. Center of Gravity: The center of gravity of an object is the point at which the weight of the object acts as though it were concentrated

22、. It is the point at which the object may be completely supported or balanced by a single force. The center of gravity of a regularly shaped object may be estimated fairly accurately by determining its approximate center. Finding the center of gravity of irregularly-shaped objects can be more diffic

23、ult, but it is necessary, nevertheless. A load will always hang from its attachment point through the center of gravity. It is important to visualize this before making a lift. All loads to be lifted should be rigged above the center of gravity in order to prevent tipping and possible hazards to equ

24、ipment and workers. The lifting force should always be located above the center of gravity and exert a straight vertical pull to prevent swinging of the load.l Ropes: Before discussing actual rigging hardware and systems, it is appropriate to examine ropes and their proper use. Ropes are used for ma

25、ny rigging functions. Although synthetic ropes of great strength are available, most codes prohibit their permanent use in rigging for a variety of good reasons. Nevertheless, ropes are necessary to lift approved cables, fixtures, tools and equipment into position. In the interest of safety it is im

26、portant that ground workers be familiar with the proper use of rope and a few basic knots used in rigging. Rope Terminology (Figure 1): 1. The Standing Part is the end of the rope which is inactive. 2. The End is the part of the rope that is freetypically the part in which knots are tied. 3. A Bight

27、 is the central part of the rope between the standing part and the working end. 4. An Overhand Loop is formed by crossing the end over the standing part. 5. An Underhand Loop is made by crossing the end under the standing part. 6. Tightening. Once formed, a knot must be tightened slowly and with car

28、e. Failure to do so could result in a tangle, or an untrustworthy knot. Overhand Underhand Loop Loop Figure 1. Rope Terminology Knot Efficiency: Knot efficiency is the approximate strength of a rope with a knot as compared to the full strength of the rope. It is expressed at a percentage of the rope

29、s rated capacity, and refers to the stresses that the knot imposes upon the rope. When a knot is tied in a good rope, failure under stress is certain to occur at the knot. This is because bends result in uneven stresses upon the fibers, with the outsides of the bends taking a greater share of the lo

30、ad. It follows that the tighter the knot, the greater the percentage of the total load that is carried on fewer fibers. Bends: Bends are used to join two pieces of rope, usually temporarily. Typical knot efficiency is 50%. Bends offer some advantage over binding knots, as they resist untying when sl

31、ackened or jerked. The Sheet Bend is a simple knot to tie, consisting of an overhand loop on one piece, with the second rope end fed up through the loop from behind, around the standing part of the first rope and back down through the loop from the front. Binding Knots: Binding knots are also used t

32、o join two pieces of rope. In general, binding knots have a knot efficiency of 50%, but can untie easily when a free end is jerked. In the square knot, the end and the standing part of each line lie together through the bight of the other. In the untrustworthy granny knot, the end and the standing p

33、art are separated by the bight. The granny knot is 3 Standing Part End Bight particularly treacherous in that it will appear to be secureonly to slip under load. The thief knot is deceptively similar to the square knot, but has the two loose ends coming out of the opposite sides, instead of from the

34、 same side as in the square knot. This knot is almost certain to fail under toad. Loop Knots: Loop knots are used to hold objects where security is of paramount importance. The bowline, widely used in rigging, wont slip, yet is easily tied and untied. It may be tied in the hand or used as a hitch an

35、d tied around an object, usually for lifting purposes (Figure 2). To tie: Make an overhand loop with the end toward you (Step 1). Pass the end up through the loop from behind (Step 2), then up behind and around the standing partthen down through the loop again (Step 3). Draw up tight. The bowline ha

36、s a knot efficiency of approximately 60%. Hitches: Hitches are used for temporary fastenings that untie readily. They are generally tied directly around the objectinstead of first being tied in the hand and then placed over the object. Hitches must be drawn up tight, as they have a tendency to slip

37、if loose. The clove hitch (Figure 3) consists of two underhand loops, which may be tied in the hand and slipped over an object at any point along the length of a rope. Knot efficiency is 60%. Figure 3. Tying Clove Hitch .place the loops over the object. draw up tight Form two underhand loops. (stand

(end) .pass the end up through the loop from behind. .feed the end behind and around the standing part. .then down through the loop again. .and draw up tight. Step 2 Step 1 Step 3 Figure 2. Tying Bowline 4 Wire Rope: Most wire ropes are constructed from p

39、low steel, improved plow steel, or extra improved plow steel wire. The wires are woven into strands, which are woven to form the wire rope. Typical wire rope may consist of six strands wound around a central core. The central core supports the outer strands and helps to prevent the rope from crushin

40、g under stress. Wire rope core materials may be fiber (abbreviated FC), independent wire rope (abbreviated IWRC), or wire strand (abbreviated WSC). Wire rope is classified by diameter, number of strands, number of wires making up each strand and core material construction. Rope diameter is measured

41、at its widest dimension. Wire rope is also classified according to the direction the strands and wires are twisted. The distance along the rope required for a strand to make one full revolution is one lay. In Right Regular Lay construction, Strands twist to the right, wires twist to the left. Right

42、Lang Lay construction finds both strands and wires twisting to the right. Left Regular Lay ropes are constructed with strands twisted left and wires twisted right. The Left Lang Lay configuration twists both strands and wires left. Regular lay ropes are less susceptable to crushing and deformation b

43、ecause the wires lie nearly parallel to the rope. Lang lay ropes twist the wires across the direction of the rope, and are therefore more flexible and resistant to abrasion damage. If both ends of a lang lay rope are not fixed, however, it will rotate severely when under load. Most sound and stage r

44、igging requirements are easily handled by two wire ropes: 3/8 and 1/2 6X19 IWRC classification. These ropes in improved plow steel have a nominal strength of 13120 pounds and 23000 pounds, respectively. If we assume a design factor of 5, rated capacities become 2600 and 4600 pounds. Just as knotting

45、 a fiber rope reduces the nominal strength of the rope, bending of a wire rope also results in a reduction in its nominal strength. The tighter the radius of the bend in the rope, the greater percentage of the load is concentrated on fewer wires and strands. This results in a reduction in the ropes

46、nominal strength and rated capacity. Figure 4 shows the relationship between wire rope efficiency and the ratio of bend radius to rope diameter. The chart is for 6 X 19 class wire ropes. Note that the chart is nearly asymptotic as the bend radius approaches the rope diametersuch as might occur in wr

47、apping a beam with a basket sling. Overloading of a cable under these conditions could result in irreparable damage to the wire rope, or a possible failure. Experienced riggers always pad beam edges with softeners before wrapping the beam with a sling, and avoid sharp or jagged edges that could poss

48、ibly injure the wire rope or sling. Heavy burlap or thick polyester is usually used for this purpose. Efficiency (%) Ratio of Bend Radius to Wire Rope Diameter Figure 4. Wire Rope Bend Efficiency 5 Wire Rope Connections: In the touring business, wire rope is employed for slings, usually in lengths o

49、f 5,10, 20, 30 and 50 feet. Each end of the sling is terminated in a swaged or zinc-cast eye, which yields a connection that is at least as strong as the wire rope itself. This type of connection is rated as 100% efficientthe strength of the entire cable assembly is that of the wire rope. These slings are also clean in appearance, wont tear flesh or clothing in the process of handling, and do not require periodic re-torqueing. Custom length slings are easily obtained for pe
