Wire ropes are among the most important components of numerous industries, quietly powering construction cranes, elevators and bridges. These essential components are able to withstand heavy loads and harsh environments. However, without proper maintenance, even the strongest wire rope may succumb to wear and tear, leading to costly downtime and safety hazards.
Corelube has more than 40 years of experience and understands the importance of wire ropes. The company develops, engineers and produces state-of-the-art Wire Rope Lubrication Systems, Grease Systems, Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners to ensure ropes are at their peak in the years to come.
The Two-Pronged Method of Wire Rope Care:
Wire ropes can be extended by two-pronged methods: protect the core wires from wear and corrosion, and also shield the outer surface from extreme environmental elements and conditions.
Interior Protection: The unseen adversary is corrosion. The elements of moisture, contamination and contaminants can get into the outer rope’s strands, causing internal corrosion that weakens the 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, reducing internal friction and creating a protective layer.
Exterior Defense: The outer wire rope’s strands are exposed to a range of threats, such as abrasion, dirt, and weather extremes. If left unchecked, the elements mentioned above can result in wear and tear and eventually rope failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems & Groove Cleaners clean dirt, debris, and old grease to ensure that surfaces are properly lubricated. It does not only increase the lubricant’s effectiveness, but it also allows an early identification of problems like broken strands or excessive wear.
