Wire ropes power construction cranes as well as elevators. They also serve as bridge support. These crucial components carry a tremendous mass and are able to withstand extreme conditions. Even the most durable wire ropes will wear down when they are not maintained properly. This leads to expensive downtime as well as safety hazards.
Corelube has over 40 years expertise and recognizes the importance of wire ropes. 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 well over a long period of time.
The two-pronged method of maintenance of wire rope:
To extend the life of wire ropes it’s important to use an approach that is both. The interior core wires need to be shielded from deterioration and corrosion. On the other hand, the exterior wires should be protected from weather conditions and extreme wear.
Internal Protection: Corrosion is the unspoken adversary of wire cords. Water, dirt and other contaminants can enter the outer rope’s strands which causes internal corrosion, which weakens the core. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems deliver an exact amount of lubricant directly to the core, creating a shield against corrosion, and reducing internal friction.
Exterior Protection: The exterior wire rope strands are exposed to numerous challenges, such as abrasions, dirt and extreme weather conditions. If they are not properly addressed, these issues can result in wear and tear leading to breakage of strands, and eventually the rope breaking. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems, and Groove Cleaners, remove dirt, grease and other debris to prepare the rope’s surface to ensure proper lubrication. This ensures an optimal lubricant performance but also the detection and prevention of problems like worn strands, or broken strands.
