Wire ropes are silently powered for bridges, construction cranes, and elevators. These parts must endure extreme circumstances and carry massive weights. Even the most durable wire ropes can wear out without proper maintenance. This can lead to costly downtime, as well as security risks.
Corelube has more than 40 years of experience, knows the critical role wire ropes play in the lives of people. Corelube designs, engineers and manufactures cutting-edge Wire Rope Lubrication Systems, Grease Systems, Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners to ensure ropes perform at their best in the years to come.
The Two-Pronged Method of Wire Rope Care:
Extending wire rope life requires a two-pronged approach: protecting the wires in the interior from wear and corrosion and safeguarding the exterior from the elements of the environment and extreme wear conditions.
Interior Protection: Corrosion is the silent enemy of wire cords. Water or other contaminants can get into the strands that surround it and trigger internal rust, which can weaken the rope’s core. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems deliver a precise amount of lubricant directly into the core, creating a protective shield against corrosion, and reducing internal friction.
Exterior Defense: The outside wire rope strands of the rope are subject to many challenges including dirt, abrasions and extreme weather conditions. If left unchecked, the elements mentioned above could cause wear and tear that can lead to the rope’s failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners remove dirt, debris, and old grease, preparing the surface for proper lubrication. This not only increases the lubricant’s effectiveness, but it also allows early detection of issues like broken strands or excessive wear.
