Wire ropes offer quiet power for bridges, construction cranes, and elevators. These components have to withstand severe circumstances and carry massive weights. Even the most durable wire ropes can wear out when they are not maintained properly. This leads to expensive downtime as well as safety hazards.
Corelube knows, after more than forty years of service in the field the importance of wire ropes are. The company designs, develops, and manufactures state-of-the-art Wire Rope Lubrication Systems, Grease Systems, Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners to ensure ropes operate at peak performance for the foreseeable future.
The Two-Pronged Solution to Wire Rope Care
In order to extend the life of wire ropes, you need the use of two different strategies: protecting the core wires inside from wear and corrosion, and protecting the exterior from the elements of the environment and extreme wear conditions.
Internal Protection: The unseen adversary is corrosion. The influx of contaminants or moisture into the strands that surround it and trigger internal rust, which can weaken the rope’s core. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems inject the right amount of lubricant into the core, creating an anti-corrosion barrier that reduces internal friction, creating an outer layer of protection.
Exterior Defense: A wire rope’s outer layers are exposed to various challenges like dirt, abrasion or even extreme weather. If not taken care of, these elements could cause wear and tear that can lead to strand breaking and ultimately the rope breaking. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems & Groove Cleaners clean dirt, debris and old grease to prepare the surfaces for proper lubrication. This ensures an optimal lubricant performance but also the early detection and prevention of issues such as worn strands and broken strands.
