Wire ropes supply quiet power for bridges, construction cranes and elevators. These essential components are designed to withstand the rigors of heavy loads and harsh environments. However, without proper maintenance even the strongest wire rope could succumb to wear and tear, leading to the cost of downtime as well as safety risks.
Corelube is a company with more than 40 years experience and is aware of the significance of wire ropes. Corelube develops and designs the most advanced Wire Rope Lubrication Systems and Grease Systems as well as Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners. This ensures ropes perform optimally over a long period of time.
The Two-Pronged Approach to Wire Rope Care:
Extending wire rope life requires a two-pronged approach: protecting the wires in the interior from wear and corrosion and securing the exterior wires from elements in the environment and extreme wear conditions.
Interior Protection Corrosion is an invisible adversary of wire ropes. Moisture, contaminants and contamination can penetrate the outer rope’s strands leading to internal corrosion that weakens its core. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems are designed to deliver the exact amount of lubricant that is required directly into core. This provides a layer against corrosion, and also reduces friction within the rope.
Exterior Protection: The exterior wire rope strands are exposed to numerous challenges like dirt, abrasions and extreme weather conditions. If they are not addressed, the issues mentioned above could cause wear and tear, and ultimately the rope’s failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners remove dirt, debris, and old grease, preparing the surface for proper lubrication. This not only optimizes lubricant effectiveness, but also allows the early identification of issues like broken strands or excessive wear.
