Wire ropes are the workhorses of many industries, quietly providing power to elevators, cranes for construction and bridges. They are incredibly strong and can withstand a lot of weight and withstand harsh conditions. However, without proper maintenance, even the strongest wire rope can succumb to wear and tear resulting in dangerous safety risks and costly downtime.
Corelube has more than 40 years of expertise and recognizes the importance of wire ropes. Corelube designs, engineers, and manufactures state-of-the-art Wire Rope Lubrication Systems, Grease Systems, Cleaning Systems, as well as Groove Cleaners to ensure ropes perform at their best for years to come.
The Two-Pronged Method to Wire Rope Care
To extend the life of wire ropes it is important to use two approaches. The core wires inside need to be shielded from deterioration, corrosion and degrading. Likewise, the exterior wires must be protected from elements and extreme wear.
Interior Protection: The silent adversary is corrosion. Water and contaminants can get through the outer strands leading to internal rust that weakens the core – the rope’s lifeline. 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: The exterior wire rope strands are exposed to a variety of challenges, including dirt, abrasions and extreme weather conditions. Unchecked, the factors above could cause wear and tear that can lead to 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 does not just improve the efficiency of the lubricant but also allows for early detection of issues like broken strands and excessive wear.
