Wire ropes are the power source for construction cranes and elevators. They also support bridges. They must withstand harsh circumstances and carry massive weights. Even the strongest wire ropes can wear out in the absence of proper maintenance. This results in costly downtime, as well as security risks.
Corelube has more than 40 years of expertise, is aware of the vital role wire ropes play. The company develops, engineers and manufactures the most advanced Wire Rope Lubrication Systems, Grease Systems, Cleaning Systems, and Groove Cleaners to ensure ropes perform at their best for the foreseeable future.
The Two-Pronged Approach to Wire Rope Care:
To prolong the life span of wire ropes it is important to use an approach in two ways. The core wires inside must be protected from deterioration and corrosion, while the exterior wires should be protected from elements and wear.
Interior Protection: Corrosion is the silent enemy of wire ropes. The elements of moisture, contamination and contaminants may penetrate the outer rope’s strands, which causes internal corrosion, which weakens the core. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems deliver an exact quantity of lubricant directly into the core, forming a protective shield against corrosion, and reducing internal friction.
Exterior Defense: A wire rope’s outer strands can be exposed to a variety of challenges, like dirt, abrasion or even extreme weather. Left unchecked, these factors could cause wear and tear leading to strand breakage and ultimately a rope breakage. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners remove dirt, debris, and old grease, preparing the surface for proper lubrication. This ensures not only an optimal lubricant performance but also for early detection and prevention of issues like worn strands, or broken strands.
