Wire ropes supply quiet power for bridges, construction cranes and elevators. These crucial components carry a tremendous weight and can withstand the harshest of environments. However, without proper maintenance even the strongest wire rope is susceptible to wear and tear, which can lead to the cost of downtime as well as safety risks.
Corelube is a company with more than 40 years experience and knows the importance of wire ropes. The company develops, engineers and manufactures cutting-edge Wire Rope Lubrication Systems.
The Two-Pronged Method of Wire Rope Care:
In order to extend the life of wire ropes, you need two steps: protecting the inner core wires from wear and corrosion, and securing the exterior wires from environmental elements and extreme wear conditions.
Interior Protection: Corrosion is the unspoken adversary of wire cords. Moisture or contaminants can seep into the outer strands 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 that is required directly into the core. This creates a protective shield against corrosion and reduces internal friction.
Exterior Defense: The outer wire rope strands are subjected to many challenges including abrasions, dirt and extreme weather conditions. These elements, if left unchecked can lead to wear, strand breaks, and even rope failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners remove dirt, debris and old grease, thus preparing the surface to ensure proper lubrication. This improves the lubricant’s effectiveness but also allows for an early detection of any issues like broken strands or excessive wear.
