Wire ropes power construction cranes as well as elevators. They also help support bridges. These essential components support a huge weight and endure harsh environments. Even the most durable wire ropes can wear out without proper maintenance. This leads to expensive downtime as well as safety hazards.
Corelube is a company with more than 40 years experience and is aware of the significance of wire ropes. The company designs, develops and produces 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 Solution to Wire Rope Care
In order to extend the life of wire ropes, you need the use of two different strategies: protecting the core wires inside from wear and corrosion, and securing the exterior wires from environmental elements and extreme wear conditions.
Interior Protection Corrosion is a silent enemy of wire ropes. Moisture and contaminants may seep through the outer strands and cause internal rust, which weakens the core – the rope’s lifeline. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems inject a precise amount lubricant into the core, forming the barrier against corrosion, reducing internal friction and creating an outer layer of protection.
External Defense: The outer wire rope’s strands are exposed to a variety of threats, such as dirt, abrasion, and extreme weather. Unchecked, the factors above can cause wear and tear, and ultimately 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 does not just improve the efficacy of the grease, but also facilitates an early identification of problems like broken strands or excessive wear.
