Wire ropes provide silent power to bridges, construction cranes, and elevators. These components have to withstand severe conditions and carry heavy weights. However, without proper maintenance even the most durable wire rope may succumb to wear and tear, leading to the cost of downtime as well as safety risks.
Corelube, with over 40 years of expertise, understands the crucial role that wire ropes play. The company develops, engineers, and manufactures state-of-the-art Wire Rope Lubrication Systems, Grease Systems, Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners to ensure ropes perform at their best in the years to come.
The Two-Pronged Approach to Wire Rope Care:
To extend the lifespan of wire ropes, it is necessary to take two approaches. The core wires inside should be shielded from deterioration and corrosion, while the wires on the outside must be protected from elements and wear.
Interior Protection Corrosion is the unseen enemy of wire ropes. Contaminants, moisture and even sand can enter the outer rope’s strands leading to internal corrosion that weakens the core. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems inject the right amount of lubricant into the core, creating the barrier against corrosion which reduces friction within the rope and creating an outer layer of protection.
Exterior Protection: The outside wire rope strands are exposed to a variety of challenges, including dirt, abrasions as well as extreme weather conditions. If these conditions are not addressed, they can result in wear and tear, which can lead to strand breaking and ultimately the rope breaking. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners remove dirt, debris and old grease, while preparing the surface to ensure proper lubrication. This not only increases the lubricant’s effectiveness, but also allows for earlier detection of issues such as broken strands and excessive wear.
