Wire ropes power construction cranes and elevators. They also help support bridges. They must withstand harsh circumstances and carry massive weights. However, without proper maintenance even the most durable wire rope can succumb to wear and tear, resulting in dangerous safety risks and costly downtime.
Corelube, with over 40 years of experience, understands the important role wire ropes play. The company designs, develops, and manufactures state-of-the-art Wire Rope Lubrication Systems, Grease Systems, Cleaning Systems, and Groove Cleaners to ensure ropes function at their highest performance for years to come.
The Two-Pronged Method to Wire Rope Care
To extend the life of wire ropes, it’s essential to adopt an approach that is both. The interior core wires must be protected from deterioration, corrosion and degrading. Likewise, the exterior wires must be protected from elements and extreme wear.
Interior Protection: Corrosion, the invisible enemy of wire cords. Moisture or contaminants can seep into the strands that surround it and cause 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 layers are exposed to various challenges such as abrasion, dirt or even extreme weather. If not taken care of, these elements can result in wear and tear leading to strand breaking and ultimately a rope breakage. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems & Groove Cleaners clean dirt, debris, and old grease to prepare the surfaces for proper lubrication. This allows not only for an optimal lubricant performance but also the detection and prevention of issues like worn strands or broken strands.
