Wire ropes are the power source for construction cranes and elevators. They also help support bridges. They must withstand harsh circumstances and carry massive weights. Even the most durable wire ropes can wear out in the absence of proper maintenance. This results in costly downtime and safety risks.
Corelube recognizes, with over more than 40 years in the business the importance of wire ropes are. Corelube designs and engineers cutting-edge Wire Rope Lubrication Systems.
The Two-Pronged Approach to Wire Rope Care:
To extend the life of wire ropes, it is essential to adopt an approach that is both. The core wires inside should be shielded from deterioration and corrosion. On the other hand, the wires on the outside must be protected from the elements and extreme wear.
Interior Protection: The unseen adversary is corrosion. The influx of contaminants and moisture can pass into the outer strands leading to internal rust that weakens the core – the rope’s lifeline. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems are made to deliver precisely the amount of lubricant you require directly into the core. This creates a protective barrier from corrosion and minimizes friction within the rope.
Exterior Protection: The exterior wire rope strands of the rope are subject to numerous challenges, such as abrasions, dirt and extreme weather conditions. If these conditions are not addressed, they could cause wear and tear, leading to breakage of strands, and eventually, rope failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems & Groove Cleaners clean dirt, debris, and old grease to ensure that surfaces are properly lubricated. This will not only increase lubricant effectiveness but also allows for early detection of potential issues such as damaged strands, or excessive wear.
