Wire ropes are the power source for construction cranes as well as elevators. They also serve as bridge support. These vital components are able to withstand high loads and harsh environments. Even the strongest wire ropes can wear out without proper maintenance. This leads to expensive downtime, as well as security risks.
Corelube has more than 40 years expertise and recognizes the importance of wire ropes. Corelube develops and engineers cutting-edge Wire Rope Lubrication Systems.
The two-pronged approach to the care of wire ropes:
To extend the life of wire ropes, it is important to use a dual approach. The inner core wires are protected from corrosion and deterioration and the wires that are outside need to be protected from the elements and extreme wear.
Interior Protection: Corrosion, the invisible adversary of wire cords. Moisture and contaminants can penetrate into the strands that surround it and cause internal rust, which can weaken the rope’s core. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems inject a precise amount lubricant into the core to create an anti-corrosion barrier that reduces internal friction, creating an outer layer of protection.
Exterior Defense: The outer wire rope strands are exposed to a variety of challenges, including dirt, abrasions as well as extreme weather conditions. If they are not addressed, the issues mentioned above can lead to wear and tear, and ultimately rope failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners remove dirt, debris, and old grease, preparing the surface for proper lubrication. This helps improve lubricant effectiveness but also allows for earlier detection of any potential problems such as broken strands or excessive wear.
