Wire ropes are silently powered to construction cranes, bridges, and elevators. These vital components are strong enough to stand up to extreme loads and harsh conditions. But, if they are not properly maintained even the strongest wire rope is susceptible to wear and tear leading to dangerous safety risks and costly downtime.
Corelube recognizes, with over forty years of service in the field how vital wire ropes are. The company designs, engineers and manufactures cutting-edge Wire Rope Lubrication Systems, Grease Systems, Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners to ensure ropes function at their highest performance in the years to come.
The Two-Pronged Method to Wire Rope Care
Wire ropes can be extended using two-pronged strategies: protect the core wires against corrosion and wear and shield the outer surface from extreme conditions and environmental elements.
Interior Protection: The silent enemy is corrosion. The influx of contaminants or moisture into the strands that surround it and trigger internal rust which weakens the rope’s core. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems inject an exact amount of lubricant to the core to create protection against corrosion by reducing friction inside and creating an outer layer of protection.
Exterior Defense: The outside wire rope strands are exposed to numerous challenges, such as dirt, abrasions, and extreme weather conditions. When neglected, can lead to wear, strand breaks, and rope failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners remove dirt, debris, and old grease, preparing the surface for proper lubrication. This will not only increase lubricant effectiveness but also allows earlier detection of any potential problems such as broken strands and excessive wear.
