Wire ropes are the power source for construction cranes and elevators. They also help support bridges. These essential components support a huge weight and endure harsh environments. But, if they are not properly maintained even the strongest wire rope may succumb to wear and tear, which can lead to the cost of downtime as well as safety risks.
Corelube is aware, even after more than 40 years in the business how vital wire ropes are. Corelube develops the latest wire ropes, designs and engineers them. Wire Rope Lubrication Systems.
The Two-Pronged Approach to Wire Rope Care:
To prolong the life span of wire ropes, it is important to use two approaches. The wires that are inside should be shielded from corrosion and deterioration and the exterior wires must be protected from the elements and extreme wear.
Interior Protection Corrosion is a silent enemy of wire ropes. Moisture, contaminants and contamination can penetrate the outer rope’s strands leading to internal corrosion that weakens its core. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems inject the right amount of lubricant into the core, creating protection against corrosion, reducing internal friction and creating a protective layer.
Exterior Protection: The wire rope’s outer strands may be subjected to a myriad of hazards such as abrasion, dirt or even 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, thus preparing the surface for proper lubrication. This will not only increase lubricant effectiveness, but also allows earlier detection of any potential problems such as damaged strands, or excessive wear.
