Wire ropes are the power source for construction cranes and elevators. They also support bridges. These vital components are strong enough to stand up to the rigors of heavy loads and harsh environments. However, without proper maintenance even the strongest wire rope may succumb to wear and tear resulting in dangerous safety risks and costly downtime.
Corelube understands, after 40 years in the industry that wire ropes are as important as they are. Corelube develops and designs state-of-the art Wire Rope Lubrication Systems and Grease Systems as well as Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners. It ensures that ropes work at their best for years to come.
The Two-Pronged Approach to Wire Rope Care:
Extending wire rope life requires an approach that is two-pronged: securing the inner core wires from corrosion and wear, and safeguarding the exterior from environmental elements and extreme wear conditions.
Internal Protection: The silent enemy is corrosion. Moisture and contaminants may seep through the outer strands leading to internal rust that weakens the core which is the rope’s lifeline. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems are created to supply the exact amount of lubricant you require directly into the core. This creates a shield against corrosion and reduces friction within the rope.
Exterior Defense: The outside strands of a wire rope are exposed to a variety of challenges like dirt, abrasion, and weather extremes. When left unchecked can lead to wear, strand breaks, and rope breakage. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners remove dirt, debris, and old grease, preparing the surface for proper lubrication. This not only optimizes lubricant effectiveness, but also allows earlier detection of any potential problems such as broken strands or excessive wear.
