Wire ropes supply quiet power for bridges, construction cranes and elevators. These vital components are capable of enduring high loads and harsh environments. However, without proper maintenance, even the strongest wire rope may succumb to wear and tear, resulting in expensive downtime and security hazards.
Corelube has more than 40 years experience and understands the importance of wire ropes. The company designs, engineers and manufactures cutting-edge Wire Rope Lubrication Systems, Grease Systems, Cleaning Systems, as well as Groove Cleaners to ensure ropes are at their peak for the foreseeable future.
The Two-Pronged Approach to Wire Rope Care
To extend the lifespan of wire ropes it’s important to use two approaches. The core wires inside should be shielded from deterioration and corrosion. On the other hand, the wires on the outside must be protected from weather conditions and extreme wear.
Interior Protection Corrosion is an invisible adversary of wire ropes. The influx of contaminants or moisture into the strands that surround it and cause internal rust, which can weaken the rope’s core. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems deliver the exact amount of lubricant directly to the core, creating a protective barrier against corrosion and minimizing internal friction.
External Defense: The outer strands of a wire rope are exposed to a range of challenges like dirt, abrasions, and extreme weather. If not taken care of, the above factors can result in wear and tear and eventually rope failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners remove dirt, debris, and old grease, preparing the surface for proper lubrication. It does not only increase the lubricant’s effectiveness, but also allows for earlier detection of issues like broken strands and excessive wear.
