Wire ropes are silently powered to construction cranes, bridges, and elevators. They are incredibly strong and can withstand a lot of weight and endure harsh environments. However, without proper maintenance, even the strongest wire rope could succumb to wear and tear resulting in dangerous safety risks and costly downtime.
Corelube has more than 40 years expertise and recognizes the importance of wire ropes. Corelube designs and develops cutting-edge Wire Rope Lubrication Systems and Grease Systems as well as Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners. This helps ensure that ropes operate in peak condition for a long time.
The Two-Pronged Method to Wire Rope Care
To extend the life of wire ropes, it is important to use a dual approach. The interior core wires are protected from deterioration and corrosion. On the other hand, the wires that are outside need to be protected from elements and wear.
Internal Protection: Corrosion, the silent enemy of wire cords. The influx of contaminants or moisture 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: A wire rope’s outer strands are subjected to a myriad of hazards such as abrasion, dirt or extreme weather. 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, along with Groove Cleaners, remove dirt, grease and debris to make the rope’s surface to ensure proper lubrication. This allows not only for an optimal lubricant performance but also the early detection and prevention of problems like worn strands or broken strands.
