The article presents materials on the study of increasing the operational life of steel ropes. The methods of lubrication of steel ropes, as well as the resistance characteristics of the applied lubricants, under various operating conditions, were studied. An experimental study of the effect of molybdenum disulfide on the operational characteristics of steel ropes. The concept of a useful model for the formation of a surface layer of a solid lubricant coating based on molybdenum disulfide on steel ropes in the process of their production is proposed.the mode of operation of the Elevator equipment in each cycle. The structure of the algorithm for the formation of accumulated loads and their equivalent value during a given period of operation is substantiated. The proposed method can be used as a simulation model in determining the required amount of repair impacts in the maintenance of passenger elevators
