Wire ropes power construction cranes and elevators. They also serve as bridge support. These vital components are capable of enduring high loads and harsh environments. Even the strongest wire ropes may wear out in the absence of proper maintenance. This causes costly downtime as well as safety hazards.
Corelube is a company with more than 40 years of experience, understands the crucial role that wire ropes play. The company designs, develops and manufactures the most advanced Wire Rope Lubrication Systems, Grease Systems, Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners to ensure ropes operate at peak performance in the years to come.
The Two-Pronged Solution to Wire Rope Care
In order to extend the life of wire ropes, you need the use of two different strategies: protecting the inner core wires from corrosion and wear, and protecting the exterior from environmental elements and severe wear conditions.
Interior Protection: The unseen adversary is corrosion. The elements of moisture, contamination and contaminants may penetrate the outer rope’s strands leading to internal corrosion that weakens the core. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems deliver a precise amount of lubricant directly into the core, creating a protective barrier against corrosion and minimizing internal friction.
External Defense: The outside strands of a wire rope are exposed to a wide range of challenges, such as dirt, abrasions, and extreme weather. If these conditions are not addressed, they can result in wear and tear, leading to breakage of strands, and eventually, rope failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems & Groove Cleaners clean dirt, debris and old grease to prepare the surfaces for proper lubrication. This does not just improve the effectiveness of the lubricant, but also facilitates an early identification of problems like broken strands and excessive wear.
