Wire ropes are the mainstays of a variety of industries, quietly driving elevators, construction cranes, and bridges. These crucial components carry a tremendous weight and endure harsh environments. However, without proper maintenance, even the strongest wire rope can succumb to wear and tear which can lead to dangerous safety risks and costly downtime.
Corelube knows, after more than more than 40 years in the business, how important wire ropes are. Corelube develops the latest wire ropes, designs and engineers them. Wire Rope Lubrication Systems.
The Two-Pronged Approach to Wire Rope Care:
Wire ropes can be extended by two-pronged approach: shield the core wires against wear and corrosion, as well as shield the outside surface from extreme environmental elements and conditions.
Interior Protection Corrosion is the unseen adversary of wire ropes. Moisture or contaminants can seep into the outer strands and cause internal rust which weakens the rope’s core. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems are specifically designed to provide the precise amount of lubricant you require directly into core. This provides a shield against corrosion and reduces internal friction.
Exterior Defense: The outer strands of a wire rope are exposed to a wide range of threats, such as dirt, abrasions, and extreme weather. Unchecked, the factors above can lead to wear and tear, and ultimately the rope’s failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners remove dirt, debris, and old grease, preparing the surface for proper lubrication. This improves the lubricant’s effectiveness, but also allows early detection of potential issues such as damaged strands, or excessive wear.
