Wire ropes are the mainstays of many industries, quietly operating elevators, cranes, construction and bridges. These vital components are capable of enduring extreme loads and harsh conditions. But, if they are not properly maintained, even the strongest wire rope can succumb to wear and tear, which can lead to costly downtime and safety hazards.
Corelube has more than 40 years of expertise and recognizes the importance of wire ropes. Corelube designs the latest wire ropes, designs and engineers them. Wire Rope Lubrication Systems.
Two-pronged approach to the care of wire ropes:
The process of extending the life of wire ropes requires a two-pronged approach: protecting the inner core wires from wear and corrosion as well as shielding the exterior from elements in the environment and extreme wear conditions.
Internal Protection: Corrosion, the silent adversary of wire cords. Contaminants, moisture and even sand may penetrate the outer rope’s strands, which causes internal corrosion, which weakens its core. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems are specifically designed to provide the precise amount of lubricant needed directly into core. This provides a shield against corrosion and reduces friction within the rope.
Exterior Protection: The wire rope’s outer layers are subjected to a myriad of hazards such as abrasion, dirt or extreme weather. If they are not addressed, the issues mentioned above could cause wear and tear, and ultimately rope failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners remove dirt, debris, and old grease, thus preparing the surface 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.
