Wire ropes are silently powered to construction cranes, bridges, and elevators. They are incredibly strong and can withstand a lot of weight and can withstand the harshest of environments. But, if they are not properly maintained even the most durable wire rope can succumb to wear and tear, which can lead to costly downtime and safety hazards.
Corelube has more than 40 years of experience, has a deep understanding of the important role wire ropes play in the lives of people. Corelube develops engineering, manufactures and designs cutting-edge Wire Rope Lubrication Systems.
The Two-Pronged Solution for Wire Rope Care
To extend the life of wire ropes, it is the use of two different strategies: protecting the wires in the interior from wear and corrosion, and protecting the exterior from environmental elements and severe wear conditions.
Internal Protection: The unseen adversary is corrosion. Moisture and contaminants can penetrate into the strands that surround it and cause internal rust, which can cause the rope’s core to weaken. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems are made to deliver precisely the amount of lubricant that is required directly into core. This creates a barrier from corrosion and minimizes internal friction.
Exterior Protection: The outside wire rope strands are exposed to numerous challenges like abrasions, dirt and extreme weather conditions. If left unchecked can lead to wear, strand breaks, and even rope failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners remove dirt, debris, and old grease, preparing the surface for proper lubrication. It not only improves the effectiveness of the lubricant, but also facilitates early detection of issues like broken strands, or excessive wear.
