Wire ropes power construction cranes and elevators. They also help support bridges. They are incredibly strong and can withstand a lot of weight and can withstand the harshest of environments. Even the most durable wire ropes may wear out without proper maintenance. This causes costly maintenance and security hazards.
Corelube has more than 40 years experience and knows the importance of wire ropes. The company designs, engineers and manufactures cutting-edge Wire Rope Lubrication Systems.
The two-pronged method of wire rope care:
To prolong the life of wire ropes it is important to use two approaches. The interior core wires must be protected from deterioration and corrosion, while the wires on the outside must be protected from the elements and extreme wear.
Internal Protection: Corrosion is the unspoken enemy of wire cords. The influx of contaminants and moisture can pass into the outer strands which can cause internal rust that weakens the core, the rope’s lifeline. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems deliver a precise amount of lubricant directly into the core, creating a protective barrier against corrosion and minimizing internal friction.
Exterior Defense: The exterior strands of a wire rope are exposed to a variety of challenges, such as dirt, abrasions, and extreme weather. Unchecked, the factors above can result in wear and tear that can lead to the rope’s failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems & Groove Cleaners clean dirt, debris, and old grease to ensure that surfaces are properly lubricated. This allows not only for best performance from the lubricant but also for early detection and prevention of issues like worn strands, or broken strands.
