Wire ropes are the workhorses of countless industries, silently driving elevators, construction cranes and bridges. These parts must endure extreme conditions and bear heavy loads. But, if they are not properly maintained even the strongest wire rope could succumb to wear and tear which can lead to dangerous safety risks and costly downtime.
Corelube, with over 40 years of expertise, understands the crucial role that wire ropes play in the lives of people. Corelube designs and develops state-of-the art Wire Rope Lubrication Systems and Grease Systems as well as Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners. The result is that ropes function well for many years.
The two-pronged approach for the care of wire ropes:
To prolong the life of wire ropes, it’s necessary to take a dual approach. The interior core wires are protected from deterioration, corrosion and degrading. Likewise, the exterior wires should be protected from weather conditions and wear.
Interior Protection: The unseen adversary is corrosion. Moisture and contaminants can penetrate into the strands that surround it and trigger internal rust which weakens the rope’s 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.
Exterior Protection: The wire rope’s outer strands can be exposed to various dangers like dirt, abrasion or even extreme weather. These elements, if not taken care of, can cause wear, strand breakage, and even rope failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems & Groove Cleaners clean dirt, debris and old grease to prepare the surfaces for proper lubrication. This not only increases the lubricant’s effectiveness, but also facilitates earlier detection of issues like broken strands, or excessive wear.
