Wire ropes offer quiet power to construction cranes, bridges, and elevators. They are the most essential component that is able to withstand heavy loads and harsh environments. Even the strongest wire ropes may wear out when they are not maintained properly. This can lead to costly downtime, as well as security risks.
Corelube, with over 40 years of experience, understands the crucial role that wire ropes play. Corelube designs and engineers cutting-edge Wire Rope Lubrication Systems.
The Two-Pronged Method to Wire Rope Care
To extend the life of wire ropes, it is the use of two different strategies: protecting the wires in the interior from wear and corrosion, and securing the exterior wires from environmental elements and severe wear conditions.
Interior Protection Corrosion is a silent adversary of wire ropes. Moisture and contaminants can penetrate into the outer strands and cause internal rust, which can weaken the rope’s core. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems are specifically designed to provide the precise amount of lubricant that is required directly into core. This creates a barrier from corrosion and minimizes internal friction.
Exterior Defense: The outer wire rope strands are exposed to numerous challenges, such as dirt, abrasions, and extreme weather conditions. Left unchecked, these factors could cause wear and tear leading to strand breakage and ultimately a 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 optimum lubricant performance, but also for early detection and prevention of problems like worn strands or broken strands.
