Wire ropes are the workhorses of many industries, quietly operating elevators, cranes, construction and bridges. They must withstand harsh conditions and carry heavy weights. But, if they are not properly maintained even the most durable wire rope could succumb to wear and tear, resulting in dangerous safety risks and costly downtime.
Corelube knows, after more than 40 years in the industry how vital wire ropes are. Corelube designs and develops state-of-the art Wire Rope Lubrication Systems and Grease Systems as well as Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners. This helps ensure that ropes operate in peak condition for many years.
The Two-Pronged Solution for Wire Rope Care
To prolong the life of wire ropes it is necessary to take an approach that is both. The interior core wires need to be shielded from deterioration and corrosion, while the wires on the outside must be protected from elements and extreme wear.
Interior Protection Corrosion is an invisible adversary of wire ropes. The influx of contaminants and moisture can pass into the outer strands creating internal rust which weakens the core, the rope’s lifeline. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems inject the right amount of lubricant into the core of the rope to form the barrier against corrosion that reduces internal friction, creating a protective layer.
Exterior defense: A wire rope’s outer strands are subjected to a myriad of hazards such as abrasion, dirt or extreme weather. If not taken care of, the above factors can cause wear and tear that can lead to rope failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems & Groove Cleaners clean dirt, debris and old grease to ensure that surfaces are properly lubricated. This helps improve lubricant effectiveness but also allows for an early detection of any issues such as broken strands or excessive wear.
