Wire ropes power construction cranes and elevators. They also help support bridges. They’re designed to withstand the rigors of high loads and harsh environments. But, if they are not properly maintained even the most durable wire rope could succumb to wear and tear, which can lead to expensive downtime and security hazards.
Corelube recognizes, with over forty years of service in the field the importance of wire ropes are. The company designs, develops, and manufactures state-of-the-art Wire Rope Lubrication Systems, Grease Systems, Cleaning Systems, and Groove Cleaners to ensure ropes function at their highest performance in the years to come.
The Two-Pronged Solution for Wire Rope Care
To extend the life of wire ropes, it is two steps: protecting the inner core wires from wear and corrosion and securing the exterior wires from the elements of the environment and extreme wear conditions.
Interior Protection: Corrosion is the invisible enemy of wire cords. Water, dirt and other contaminants can enter the outer rope’s strands causing internal corrosion that weakens its core. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems deliver a precise quantity of lubricant directly into the core, forming a protective barrier against corrosion as well as reducing internal friction.
Exterior Protection: Wire rope’s outer strands are exposed to various dangers such as abrasion, dirt or extreme weather. These elements, if left unchecked can lead to damage, strand breaks and rope breakage. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems, as well as Groove Cleaners, remove dirt, grease and debris to clean the surface of the rope to ensure proper lubrication. This not only optimizes lubricant efficiency but also permits early detection of potential issues such as damaged strands, or excessive wear.
