Wire ropes are the workhorses of countless industries, silently driving elevators, construction cranes and bridges. These crucial components carry a tremendous weight and withstand harsh conditions. Without proper maintenance even wire ropes of the finest quality could wear out, resulting in costly downtimes and health risks.
Corelube is a company with more than 40 years experience and knows the importance of wire ropes. Corelube designs, engineers and manufactures the most advanced Wire Rope Lubrication Systems, Grease Systems, Cleaning Systems, as well as Groove Cleaners to ensure ropes operate at peak performance in the years to come.
The two-pronged method of the care of wire ropes:
To extend the life of wire ropes it’s imperative to follow an approach in two ways. The inner core wires must be protected from deterioration, corrosion and degrading. Likewise, the wires that are outside need to be protected from weather conditions and extreme wear.
Internal Protection: Corrosion is the unspoken enemy of wire cords. Water or other contaminants can get into the outer strands and trigger internal rust which can cause the rope’s core to weaken. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems deliver a precise amount of lubricant directly into the core, creating a protective barrier against corrosion and minimizing internal friction.
Exterior Defense: The outer wire rope strands are subjected to numerous challenges, such as abrasions, dirt and extreme weather conditions. If these conditions are not addressed, they can lead to wear and tear leading to breakage of the strands and eventually a rope breakage. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners remove dirt, debris and old grease, thus preparing the surface to ensure proper lubrication. This does not just improve the effectiveness of the lubricant, but also allows for to detect issues earlier, such as broken strands and excessive wear.
