Wire ropes are the power source for construction cranes as well as elevators. They also serve as bridge support. These crucial components carry a tremendous mass and are able to withstand extreme conditions. In the absence of proper maintenance even wire ropes made of the best quality could get worn out, which can result in costly downtimes and safety hazards.
Corelube is aware, even after 40 years in the industry, how important wire ropes are. Corelube develops and designs the most advanced Wire Rope Lubrication Systems and Grease Systems as well as Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners. It ensures that ropes work in peak condition for years to come.
The Two-Pronged Method to Wire Rope Care
Wire ropes can be extended through a two-pronged strategy: protect the core wires against wear and corrosion, as well as shield the exterior from harsh environmental elements and conditions.
Internal Protection: The silent adversary is corrosion. Water or other contaminants can get into the strands that surround it and cause internal rust, which weakens the rope’s central. 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.
External Defense: The outside strands of a wire rope are exposed to a variety of challenges, including dirt, abrasions, and extreme weather. Left unchecked, these factors can cause wear and tear that can lead to strand breaking and ultimately, rope failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners remove dirt, debris, and old grease, thus preparing the surface for proper lubrication. This helps improve lubricant efficiency but also permits early detection of potential issues such as broken strands and excessive wear.
