Wire ropes are the mainstays of many industries, quietly operating elevators, cranes, construction and bridges. These vital components bear tremendous mass and are able to withstand extreme conditions. If they are not maintained properly, even wire ropes of the finest quality could wear out, resulting in a costly breakdown and security risks.
Corelube has over 40 years experience and understands the importance of wire ropes. The company designs, engineers and manufactures the most advanced Wire Rope Lubrication Systems, Grease Systems, Cleaning Systems as well as Groove Cleaners to ensure ropes function at their highest performance for years to come.
The Two-Pronged Method of Wire Rope Care:
To prolong the life of wire ropes it’s essential to adopt two approaches. The inner core wires need to be shielded from deterioration, corrosion and degrading. Likewise, the exterior wires must be protected from the elements and wear.
Interior Protection: The unseen adversary is corrosion. Contaminants, moisture and even sand may penetrate the outer rope’s strands leading to internal corrosion that weakens its core. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems are created to supply the exact amount of lubricant required directly into core. This creates a protective barrier from corrosion and minimizes internal friction.
External Defense: The outside strands of a wire rope are subject to a myriad of challenges, such as dirt, abrasion and extreme weather. If left unchecked can lead to wear, breakages, and rope breaking. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners remove dirt, debris, and old grease, preparing the surface for proper lubrication. This not only increases the lubricant’s effectiveness, but also facilitates to detect issues earlier, like broken strands and excessive wear.
