Wire ropes power construction cranes and elevators. They also serve as bridge support. These components must withstand extreme conditions and bear heavy loads. But, if they are not properly maintained, even the strongest wire rope may succumb to wear and tear leading to dangerous safety risks and costly downtime.
Corelube has more than 40 years experience and understands the importance of wire ropes. Corelube develops and designs modern Wire Rope Lubrication Systems and Grease Systems as well as Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners. This ensures ropes perform at their best for years to come.
The two-pronged method of the care of wire ropes:
Wire ropes can be extended through two-pronged approach: shield the wires’ core from wear and corrosion, and also shield the outer layer from extreme conditions and environmental elements.
Interior Protection: Corrosion is the silent enemy of wire ropes. Water, dirt and other contaminants can get into the outer rope’s strands creating internal corrosion that weakens its core. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems inject the right amount of lubricant into the core of the rope to form the barrier against corrosion, reducing internal friction and creating an outer layer of protection.
Exterior defense: A wire rope’s outer strands are subjected to a myriad of hazards such as abrasion, dirt or even extreme weather. If these conditions are not addressed, they can result in wear and tear, leading to breakage of the strands and eventually, rope failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems, and Groove Cleaners, remove dirt, grease and other debris to ensure the surface of the rope to ensure proper lubrication. This allows not only for an optimal lubricant performance but also for early detection and prevention of issues like worn strands, or broken strands.
