Wire ropes power construction cranes as well as elevators. They also support bridges. These essential components are strong enough to stand up to the rigors of heavy loads and harsh environments. Without proper maintenance even wire ropes of the finest quality could be worn out, resulting in expensive downtimes as well as safety hazards.
Corelube has more than 40 years of experience, is aware of the critical role 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 function at their highest performance for the foreseeable future.
The Two-Pronged Approach to Wire Rope Care
Wire ropes can be extended using two-pronged strategies: protect the core wires from wear and corrosion, as well as shield the outside surface from extreme conditions and environmental elements.
Internal Protection: The silent enemy is corrosion. Water and contaminants can get through the outer strands, which can cause internal rust that weakens the inner core – the rope’s lifeline. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems deliver the precise quantity of lubricant directly to the core, forming a protective shield against corrosion, and reducing internal friction.
Exterior Defense: The exterior wire rope strands are subject to many challenges including dirt, abrasions, and extreme weather conditions. Unchecked, the factors above could cause wear and tear and eventually the rope’s failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems & Groove Cleaners clean dirt, debris and old grease to ensure that surfaces are properly lubricated. This not only increases the efficacy of the grease, but also facilitates early detection of issues like broken strands or excessive wear.
