Wire ropes are the power source for construction cranes and elevators. They also support bridges. These components have to withstand severe circumstances and carry massive weights. However, without proper maintenance even the most durable wire rope could succumb to wear and tear resulting in dangerous safety risks and costly downtime.
Corelube has more than 40 years of expertise and recognizes the importance of wire ropes. 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 in the years to come.
The two-pronged method of wire rope care:
To extend the life of wire ropes, it is important to use two approaches. The inner core wires must be protected from deterioration and corrosion. On the other hand, the exterior wires should be protected from elements and wear.
Interior Protection: Corrosion is the unspoken enemy of wire cords. Moisture or contaminants can seep into the strands that surround it and trigger internal rust, which can weaken the rope’s core. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems inject the right amount of lubricant into the core of the rope to form a barrier against corrosion that reduces internal friction, creating an outer layer of protection.
Exterior Defense: The exterior wire rope’s strands are exposed to a range of challenges like dirt, abrasion and extreme weather. If they are not addressed, the issues mentioned above can result in wear and tear, and ultimately the rope’s failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners remove dirt, debris and old grease, thus preparing the surface to ensure proper lubrication. It does not only increase the lubricant’s effectiveness, but also facilitates early detection of issues like broken strands or excessive wear.
