Wire ropes supply quiet power for bridges, construction cranes and elevators. These essential components support a huge mass and are able to withstand extreme conditions. But, if they are not properly maintained, even the strongest wire rope may succumb to wear and tear resulting in the cost of downtime as well as safety risks.
Corelube has more than 40 years of experience, understands the critical role wire ropes play in the lives of people. The company develops the latest wire ropes, designs and engineers them. Wire Rope Lubrication Systems.
The two-pronged approach to the care of wire ropes:
Extending wire rope life requires the use of two different strategies: protecting the inner core wires from wear and corrosion and protecting the exterior from environmental elements and extreme wear conditions.
Internal Protection: The unseen enemy is corrosion. The influx of contaminants or moisture into the strands that surround it and cause internal rust, which can weaken the rope’s core. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems inject a precise amount lubricant into the core to create a barrier against corrosion by reducing friction inside and creating an outer layer of protection.
External Defense: The outside wire rope’s strands are exposed to a wide range of challenges, such as dirt, abrasion and extreme weather. Unchecked, the factors above can cause wear and tear, and ultimately the rope’s failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners remove dirt, debris and old grease, while preparing the surface to ensure proper lubrication. This will not only increase lubricant effectiveness but also allows earlier detection of any potential problems such as broken strands or excessive wear.
