Wire ropes are silently powered to bridges, construction cranes and elevators. These parts must endure extreme conditions and bear heavy loads. Even the strongest wire ropes will wear down without proper maintenance. This results in costly downtime as well as safety hazards.
Corelube knows, after more than more than 40 years in the business, how important wire ropes are. The company develops, engineers, and manufactures state-of-the-art Wire Rope Lubrication Systems, Grease Systems, Cleaning Systems, as well as Groove Cleaners to ensure ropes function at their highest performance in the years to come.
The Two-Pronged Method of Wire Rope Care:
To extend the life of wire ropes it’s imperative to follow two approaches. The core wires inside should be shielded from deterioration, corrosion and degrading. Likewise, the wires that are outside need to be protected from weather conditions and extreme wear.
Interior Protection Corrosion is an invisible enemy of wire ropes. Moisture and contaminants can seep through the outer strands, which can cause internal rust that weakens the inner core – the rope’s lifeline. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems are made to deliver precisely the amount of lubricant required directly into the core. This provides a shield from corrosion and decreases internal friction.
External Defense: The outer wire rope’s strands are exposed to a wide range of challenges, including dirt, abrasion, and weather extremes. These factors, if ignored, could lead to damage, strand breaks and even rope failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems, and Groove Cleaners, remove dirt, grease and debris to make the surface of the rope for proper lubrication. This allows for optimal performance of the lubricant, but also for early detection and prevention of issues such as worn strands or broken strands.
