Wire ropes power construction cranes as well as elevators. They also serve as bridge support. These vital components bear tremendous mass and are able to withstand extreme conditions. Even the most durable wire ropes are susceptible to wear in the absence of proper maintenance. This can lead to costly downtime as well as safety hazards.
Corelube is aware, even after more than 40 years in the business how vital wire ropes are. Corelube designs, engineers and manufactures cutting-edge Wire Rope Lubrication Systems.
The Two-Pronged Approach to Wire Rope Care:
To extend the lifespan of wire ropes, it is imperative to follow a dual approach. The interior core wires should be shielded from corrosion and deterioration and the wires that are outside need to be shielded from elements and extreme wear.
Interior Protection: Corrosion, the silent enemy of wire cords. Moisture and contaminants may seep into the outer strands and cause internal rust, which weakens the core – the rope’s lifeline. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems deliver the exact quantity of lubricant directly into the core of the rope, creating a layer against corrosion while reducing internal friction.
External Defense: The outside strands of a wire rope are exposed to a wide range of challenges, including dirt, abrasions, and weather extremes. If not taken care of, the above factors could cause wear and tear, and ultimately rope failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners remove dirt, debris, and old grease, while preparing the surface for proper lubrication. This helps improve lubricant efficiency but also permits earlier detection of any potential problems like broken strands or excessive wear.
