Wire ropes are the backbone of countless industries, silently driving elevators, construction cranes and bridges. These vital components are able to withstand extreme loads and harsh conditions. Even the most durable wire ropes may wear out without proper maintenance. This causes costly maintenance and security hazards.
Corelube is aware, even after 40 years in the industry the importance of wire ropes are. The company designs, develops, and manufactures state-of-the-art Wire Rope Lubrication Systems, Grease Systems, Cleaning Systems as well as Groove Cleaners to ensure ropes perform at their best for a long time to come.
The two-pronged approach to the care of wire ropes:
In order to extend the life of wire ropes, you need the use of two different strategies: protecting the inner core wires from wear and corrosion as well as shielding the exterior from environmental elements and severe wear conditions.
Interior Protection: The silent adversary is corrosion. The influx of contaminants and moisture can pass through the outer strands, and cause internal rust, which weakens the core which is the rope’s lifeline. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems inject an exact amount of lubricant in the core to create an anti-corrosion barrier by reducing friction inside and creating a protective layer.
Exterior Protection: Wire rope’s outer layers are exposed to various challenges like dirt, abrasion or extreme weather. If not taken care of, the above factors can result in wear and tear, eventually leading to 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 earlier detection of any potential problems like broken strands or excessive wear.
