Wire ropes are the power source for construction cranes as well as elevators. They also help support bridges. They must withstand harsh conditions and must support heavy weights. If not properly maintained, even wire ropes of the finest quality could become worn out, resulting in costly downtimes and safety hazards.
Corelube is aware, even after 40 years in the industry the importance of wire ropes are. The company designs and engineers state-of-the art Wire Rope Lubrication Systems and Grease Systems as well as Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners. This helps ensure that ropes operate in peak condition for years to come.
The two-pronged approach to wire rope care:
To prolong the life of wire ropes it’s important to use an approach that is both. The core wires inside need to be shielded from deterioration and corrosion, while the wires on the outside must be protected from the elements and extreme wear.
Interior Protection: Corrosion, the unspoken enemy of wire cords. Moisture and contaminants may seep into the outer strands and cause internal rust, which weakens the inner core – the rope’s lifeline. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems inject a precise amount lubricant into the core, creating a barrier against corrosion by reducing friction inside and creating an outer layer of protection.
Exterior Protection: The exterior wire rope strands are exposed to numerous challenges, such as dirt, abrasions as well as extreme weather conditions. Unchecked, the factors above can lead to wear and tear that can lead to rope failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems & Groove Cleaners clean dirt, debris and old grease to ensure that surfaces are properly lubricated. This allows for an optimal lubricant performance but also for early detection and prevention of issues such as worn strands or broken strands.
