Wire ropes are the power source for construction cranes as well as elevators. They also support bridges. They must withstand harsh conditions and bear heavy loads. But, if they are not properly maintained even the strongest wire rope can succumb to wear and tear resulting in expensive downtime and security hazards.
Corelube is aware, even after more than 40 years in the business the importance of wire ropes are. The company designs, engineers and manufactures the most advanced Wire Rope Lubrication Systems, Grease Systems, Cleaning Systems, as well as Groove Cleaners to ensure ropes are at their peak for the foreseeable future.
The two-pronged approach for maintenance of wire rope:
To extend the life of wire ropes, it is a two-pronged approach: protecting the inner core wires from corrosion and wear, and securing the exterior wires from elements in the environment and extreme wear conditions.
Internal Protection: Corrosion is the invisible enemy of wire cords. Water or other contaminants can get into the strands that surround it and cause internal rust which weakens the rope’s central. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems are designed to deliver the exact amount of lubricant needed directly into the core. This creates a protective layer against corrosion, and also reduces internal friction.
External Defense: The exterior wire rope’s strands are exposed to a variety of challenges, including dirt, abrasion and weather extremes. If ignored, could lead to wear, strand breakage, and rope breaking. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems & Groove Cleaners clean dirt, debris and old grease to ensure that surfaces are properly lubricated. This helps improve lubricant effectiveness but also allows an early detection of any issues such as broken strands and excessive wear.
