Wire ropes provide silent power to construction cranes, bridges, and elevators. These vital components are able to withstand the rigors of heavy loads and harsh environments. Even the most durable wire ropes will wear down when they are not maintained properly. This causes costly downtime, as well as security risks.
Corelube is a company with more than 40 years of experience, knows the vital role wire ropes play. The company develops, engineers and manufactures the most advanced Wire Rope Lubrication Systems, Grease Systems, Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners to ensure ropes operate at peak performance for years to come.
The Two-Pronged Approach to Wire Rope Care:
Wire ropes can be extended by two-pronged approach: shield the wires’ core from wear and corrosion, and also shield the outside surface from extreme environmental elements and conditions.
Interior Protection: The unseen enemy is corrosion. Water and contaminants can get into the outer strands, leading to internal rust that weakens the core, the rope’s lifeline. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems are created to supply the exact amount of lubricant required directly into the core. This creates a shield from corrosion and decreases internal friction.
Exterior Protection: The exterior wire rope strands are subject to many challenges including dirt, abrasions and extreme weather conditions. If these conditions are not addressed, they can lead to wear and tear, which can lead to breakage of strands, and eventually a rope breakage. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems, along with Groove Cleaners, remove dirt debris, grease and other particles to prepare the surface of the rope to ensure proper lubrication. This allows for best performance from the lubricant but also the early detection and prevention of problems like worn strands, or broken strands.
