Wire ropes are the power source for construction cranes as well as elevators. They also support bridges. They are incredibly strong and can withstand a lot of weight and withstand harsh conditions. But, if they are not properly maintained even the most durable wire rope is susceptible to wear and tear which can lead to costly downtime and safety hazards.
Corelube knows, after more than more than 40 years in the business the importance of wire ropes are. Corelube develops and designs the most advanced Wire Rope Lubrication Systems and Grease Systems as well as Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners. The result is that ropes function at their best for many years.
The Two-Pronged Approach to Wire Rope Care:
To extend the lifespan of wire ropes it is necessary to take an approach that is both. The wires that are inside are protected from deterioration, corrosion and degrading. Likewise, the wires on the outside must be shielded from elements and wear.
Interior Protection: Corrosion, the silent adversary of wire cords. The elements of moisture, contamination and contaminants can penetrate the outer rope’s strands causing internal corrosion that weakens the core. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems deliver the precise quantity of lubricant directly to the core, creating a protective shield against corrosion, and reducing internal friction.
External Defense: The outside strands of a wire rope are exposed to a variety of challenges, including abrasion, dirt, and extreme weather. When left unchecked can lead to damage, strand breaks and rope breaking. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners remove dirt, debris, and old grease, preparing the surface to ensure proper lubrication. It does not only increase the efficiency of the lubricant but also facilitates to detect issues earlier, like broken strands, or excessive wear.
