Wire ropes are the backbone of many industries, quietly providing power to elevators, cranes for construction and bridges. These parts must endure extreme conditions and carry heavy weights. But, if they are not properly maintained even the strongest wire rope may succumb to wear and tear, leading to costly downtime and safety hazards.
Corelube understands, after 40 years in the industry how vital wire ropes are. The company designs and engineers cutting-edge Wire Rope Lubrication Systems and Grease Systems as well as Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners. It ensures that ropes work well for many years.
Two-pronged approach to maintenance of wire rope:
To extend the lifespan of wire ropes, it’s important to use an approach in two ways. The inner core wires must be protected from corrosion and deterioration and the wires that are outside need to be protected from weather conditions and wear.
Internal Protection: Corrosion, the invisible enemy of wire cords. Moisture or contaminants can seep into the outer strands and cause internal rust, which can cause the rope’s core to weaken. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems are created to supply the exact amount of lubricant needed directly into the core. This creates a protective shield from corrosion and decreases internal friction.
Exterior defense: A wire rope’s outer strands are subjected to a myriad of hazards such as abrasion, dirt or extreme weather. These factors, if neglected, can lead to wear, strand breaks, and rope failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners remove dirt, debris and old grease, preparing the surface to ensure proper lubrication. This ensures not only optimum lubricant performance, but also for early detection and prevention of issues like worn strands, or broken strands.
