The Weakest Link? Strengthening Wire Ropes With Corelube’s Expertise

Wire ropes provide silent power for bridges, construction cranes, and elevators. These components have to withstand severe conditions and carry heavy weights. But, if they are not properly maintained even the most durable wire rope may succumb to wear and tear leading to dangerous safety risks and costly downtime.

Corelube knows, after more than 40 years in the industry how vital wire ropes are. Corelube develops and engineers cutting-edge Wire Rope Lubrication Systems.

The two-pronged approach for cleaning wire rope:

To extend the life of wire ropes, it is two steps: protecting the inner core wires from wear and corrosion, and safeguarding the exterior from environmental elements and extreme wear conditions.

Interior Protection: Corrosion is the silent enemy of wire cords. Moisture and contaminants can penetrate into the strands that surround it and trigger internal rust, which weakens the rope’s core. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems inject an exact amount of lubricant in the core to create a barrier against corrosion which reduces friction within the rope and creating an outer layer of protection.

Exterior Protection: The outer wire rope strands are subject to numerous challenges, such as dirt, abrasions and extreme weather conditions. If left unchecked, the elements mentioned above can result in wear and tear and eventually rope failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners remove dirt, debris and old grease, preparing the surface to ensure proper lubrication. This ensures not only an optimal lubricant performance but also for early detection and prevention of problems like worn strands, or broken strands.
