Wire ropes offer quiet power to construction cranes, bridges and elevators. They are the most essential component that is strong enough to stand up to high loads and harsh environments. However, without proper maintenance, even the strongest wire rope could succumb to wear and tear resulting in expensive downtime and security hazards.
Corelube is aware, even after 40 years in the industry that wire ropes are as important as they are. The company develops, 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 the foreseeable future.
The two-pronged approach to the care of wire ropes:
Extending wire rope life requires the use of two different strategies: protecting the wires in the interior from corrosion and wear, and safeguarding the exterior from environmental elements and severe wear conditions.
Internal Protection: The unseen adversary is corrosion. Contaminants, moisture and even sand can enter the outer strands of the rope, causing internal corrosion that weakens the core. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems inject an exact amount of lubricant to the core, creating the barrier against corrosion, reducing internal friction and creating a protective layer.
External Defense: The outside strands of a wire rope are exposed to a variety of challenges like dirt, abrasion and extreme weather. If not taken care of, these elements can result in wear and tear leading to breakage of the strands and eventually a rope failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners remove dirt, debris, and old grease, thus preparing the surface to ensure proper lubrication. It does not only increase the efficacy of the grease, it also allows the an early identification of problems like broken strands or excessive wear.
