Wire ropes are the workhorses of a variety of industries, quietly powering construction cranes, elevators, and bridges. These components have to withstand severe conditions and must support heavy weights. However, without proper maintenance even the strongest wire rope can succumb to wear and tear resulting in expensive downtime and security hazards.
Corelube has more than 40 years of experience and knows the importance of wire ropes. Corelube is a company that designs and creates modern Wire Rope Lubrication Systems and Grease Systems as well as Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners. This helps ensure that ropes operate well for years to come.
The Two-Pronged Solution for Wire Rope Care
Wire ropes can be extended by two-pronged strategies: protect the core wires from wear and corrosion, and also shield the outer surface from extreme conditions and environmental elements.
Interior Protection: The silent adversary is corrosion. Water, dirt and other contaminants can penetrate the outer strands of the rope, leading to internal corrosion that weakens the core. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems inject a precise amount lubricant into the core, forming an anti-corrosion barrier by reducing friction inside and creating a protective layer.
External Defense: The exterior strands of a wire rope are subject to a myriad of challenges like dirt, abrasion, and extreme weather. If left unchecked, the elements mentioned above could cause wear and tear, eventually leading to the rope’s failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners remove dirt, debris, and old grease, thus preparing the surface to ensure proper lubrication. This allows for an optimal lubricant performance but also for early detection and prevention of problems like worn strands or broken strands.
