Wire ropes power construction cranes and elevators. They also support bridges. These parts must endure extreme conditions and must support heavy weights. But, if they are not properly maintained even the strongest wire rope may succumb to wear and tear, resulting in the cost of downtime as well as safety risks.
Corelube With more than 40 years of expertise, understands the crucial role that wire ropes play. The company designs, develops and produces state-of-the-art Wire Rope Lubrication Systems, Grease Systems, Cleaning Systems, and Groove Cleaners to ensure ropes perform at their best for a long time to come.
The Two-Pronged Approach to Wire Rope Care:
To prolong the life span of wire ropes, it’s essential to adopt a dual approach. The interior core wires should be shielded from deterioration and corrosion, while the wires on the outside must be protected from elements and extreme wear.
Internal Protection: Corrosion, the unspoken adversary of wire cords. Contaminants, moisture and even sand may penetrate the outer strands of the rope, creating internal corrosion that weakens its core. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems deliver a precise amount of lubricant directly into the core, creating a protective barrier against corrosion and minimizing internal friction.
Exterior Protection: Wire rope’s outer strands are subjected to a myriad of hazards like dirt, abrasion or even extreme weather. These factors, if ignored, could lead to wear, strand breaks, and even rope failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems, as well as Groove Cleaners, remove dirt and grease to make the surface of the rope to ensure proper lubrication. This allows not only for an optimal lubricant performance but also early detection and prevention of problems like worn strands, or broken strands.
