Wire ropes are the power source for construction cranes and elevators. They also help support bridges. These components must withstand extreme conditions and bear heavy loads. If not properly maintained, even wire ropes of the best quality could be worn out, resulting in a costly breakdown and security dangers.
Corelube recognizes, with over more than 40 years in the business how vital wire ropes are. Corelube designs and develops cutting-edge Wire Rope Lubrication Systems and Grease Systems as well as Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners. This helps ensure that ropes operate optimally for years to come.
The Two-Pronged Approach to Wire Rope Care
In order to extend the life of wire ropes, you need an approach that is two-pronged: securing the wires in the interior from wear and corrosion, and safeguarding the exterior from environmental elements and severe wear conditions.
Interior Protection Corrosion is an invisible adversary of wire ropes. Contaminants, moisture and even sand can enter the outer rope’s strands which causes internal corrosion, which weakens its core. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems inject an exact amount of lubricant in the core, creating a barrier against corrosion, reducing internal friction and creating a protective layer.
Exterior Protection: Wire rope’s outer strands are exposed to various challenges like dirt, abrasion or extreme weather. If they are not addressed, the issues mentioned above could 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 for proper lubrication. It does not only increase the efficacy of the grease, but it also allows to detect issues earlier, like broken strands and excessive wear.
