Wire ropes supply quiet power to bridges, construction cranes, and elevators. They are the most essential component that is able to withstand the rigors of heavy loads and harsh environments. However, without proper maintenance, even the strongest wire rope could succumb to wear and tear leading to the cost of downtime as well as safety risks.
Corelube has over 40 years experience and understands the importance of wire ropes. Corelube develops engineering, manufactures and designs cutting-edge Wire Rope Lubrication Systems.
The two-pronged approach to the care of wire ropes:
Extending wire rope life requires two steps: protecting the core wires inside from wear and corrosion and securing the exterior wires from the elements of the environment and extreme wear conditions.
Interior Protection Corrosion is the unseen enemy of wire ropes. Moisture and contaminants can seep into the outer strands and cause internal rust, which weakens the core – the rope’s lifeline. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems are created to supply the exact amount of lubricant you require directly into the core. This creates a protective shield against corrosion and reduces internal friction.
Exterior Defense: A wire rope’s outer layers are exposed to a variety of challenges, like dirt, abrasion or extreme weather. If they are not addressed, the issues mentioned above can result in wear and tear that can lead to rope failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners remove dirt, debris, and old grease, preparing the surface for proper lubrication. This allows for optimal performance of the lubricant, but also for early detection and prevention of issues such as worn strands and broken strands.
