Wire ropes are the workhorses of a variety of industries, quietly driving elevators, construction cranes, and bridges. They’re capable of enduring extreme loads and harsh conditions. Even the strongest wire ropes may wear out with no proper maintenance. This causes costly downtime as well as safety hazards.
Corelube has more than 40 years of experience, knows the vital role wire ropes play in the lives of people. Corelube designs, engineers, and manufactures state-of-the-art Wire Rope Lubrication Systems, Grease Systems, Cleaning Systems as well as Groove Cleaners to ensure ropes function at their highest performance for the foreseeable future.
The Two-Pronged Method of Wire Rope Care:
The process of extending the life of wire ropes requires a two-pronged approach: protecting the core wires inside from wear and corrosion, as well as shielding the exterior from elements in the environment and extreme wear conditions.
Interior Protection: Corrosion, the invisible adversary of wire cords. Contaminants, moisture and even sand can get into the outer strands of the rope, which causes internal corrosion, which weakens its core. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems inject an exact amount of lubricant in the core, forming a barrier against corrosion which reduces friction within the rope and creating a protective layer.
Exterior Protection: The exterior wire rope strands are subjected to many challenges including dirt, abrasions, and extreme weather conditions. If these conditions are not addressed, they can lead to wear and tear that can lead to strand breaking and ultimately, rope failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners remove dirt, debris and old grease, thus preparing the surface for proper lubrication. This helps improve lubricant effectiveness but also allows for the early identification of issues like broken strands or excessive wear.
