Wire ropes are the workhorses of a variety of industries, quietly providing power to elevators, cranes for construction and bridges. These components have to withstand severe conditions and carry heavy weights. Even the most durable wire ropes are susceptible to wear with no proper maintenance. This causes costly downtime as well as safety hazards.
Corelube recognizes, with over 40 years in the industry the importance of wire ropes are. Corelube designs and develops the most advanced Wire Rope Lubrication Systems and Grease Systems as well as Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners. This ensures ropes perform well for a long time.
The Two-Pronged Method of Wire Rope Care:
Extending wire rope life requires two steps: protecting the inner core wires from corrosion and wear, and securing the exterior wires from elements in the environment and extreme wear conditions.
Internal Protection: Corrosion, the invisible enemy of wire cords. Moisture and contaminants can seep through the outer strands, which can cause internal rust that weakens the inner core – the rope’s lifeline. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems inject the right amount of lubricant into the core to create an anti-corrosion barrier by reducing friction inside and creating an outer layer of protection.
External Defense: The outer strands of a wire rope are exposed to a range of challenges, such as dirt, abrasion and extreme weather. When not taken care of, can cause wear, strand breaks, and even rope 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 does not just improve the efficacy of the grease, but it also allows earlier detection of issues like broken strands, or excessive wear.
