Wire ropes are the workhorses of countless industries, silently powering construction cranes, elevators, and bridges. These essential components are capable of enduring high loads and harsh environments. If not properly maintained, even wire ropes of the finest quality could wear out, resulting in costly downtimes and safety hazards.
Corelube knows, after more than more than 40 years in the business the importance of wire ropes are. The company designs and engineers cutting-edge Wire Rope Lubrication Systems and Grease Systems as well as Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners. The result is that ropes function well over a long period of time.
The Two-Pronged Approach to Wire Rope Care:
In order to extend the life of wire ropes, you need two steps: protecting the core wires inside from corrosion and wear, and securing the exterior wires from elements in the environment and extreme wear conditions.
Internal Protection: The unseen adversary is corrosion. The influx of contaminants and moisture can pass into the outer strands, creating internal rust which weakens the core, the rope’s lifeline. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems are made to deliver precisely the amount of lubricant that is required directly into the core. This creates a layer against corrosion, and also reduces friction within the rope.
Exterior defense: A wire rope’s outer strands may be subjected to a myriad of hazards like dirt, abrasion or extreme weather. If they are not addressed, the issues mentioned above can lead to wear and tear that can lead to rope failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems & Groove Cleaners clean dirt, debris, and old grease to make surfaces suitable for proper lubrication. This does not just improve the efficacy of the grease, it also allows the to detect issues earlier, like broken strands or excessive wear.
