Wire ropes supply quiet power to construction cranes, bridges, and elevators. They’re able to withstand extreme loads and harsh conditions. Without proper maintenance even wire ropes that are of the best quality could wear out, resulting in a costly breakdown and security dangers.
Corelube is a company with more than 40 years experience and knows the importance of wire ropes. The company designs, engineers and manufactures the most advanced Wire Rope Lubrication Systems, Grease Systems, Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners to ensure ropes perform at their best for a long time to come.
The Two-Pronged Method to Wire Rope Care
To prolong the life span of wire ropes it is necessary to take an approach that is both. The inner core wires need to be shielded from deterioration and corrosion, while the exterior wires should be shielded from elements and wear.
Interior Protection: Corrosion is the silent adversary of wire ropes. Moisture, contaminants and contamination can penetrate the outer rope’s strands, leading to internal corrosion that weakens its core. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems deliver a precise amount of lubricant directly to the core, forming a protective layer against corrosion while reducing internal friction.
Exterior Protection: The outside wire rope strands are subject to numerous challenges, such as dirt, abrasions, and extreme weather conditions. If they are not properly addressed, these issues could cause wear and tear leading to strand breakage and ultimately, rope failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners remove dirt, debris, and old grease, preparing the surface for proper lubrication. This ensures best performance from the lubricant but also the detection and prevention of issues like worn strands or broken strands.
