Wire ropes provide silent power for bridges, construction cranes and elevators. They’re strong enough to stand up to the rigors of heavy loads and harsh environments. But, if they are not properly maintained, even the strongest wire rope is susceptible to wear and tear, resulting in costly downtime and safety hazards.
Corelube has more than 40 years experience and is aware of the significance of wire ropes. Corelube designs and develops the most advanced Wire Rope Lubrication Systems and Grease Systems as well as Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners. It ensures that ropes work in peak condition over a long period of time.
The Two-Pronged Method of Wire Rope Care:
To extend the lifespan of wire ropes, it’s essential to adopt a dual approach. The interior core wires should be shielded from deterioration, corrosion and degrading. Likewise, the wires on the outside must be protected from weather conditions and extreme wear.
Interior Protection: Corrosion is the silent enemy of wire ropes. The influx of contaminants or moisture into the outer strands and cause internal rust, which can cause the rope’s core to weaken. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems are designed to deliver the exact amount of lubricant required directly into the core. This creates a barrier from corrosion and minimizes internal friction.
Exterior Defense: The outside wire rope strands are subject to many challenges including dirt, abrasions, and extreme weather conditions. If left unchecked, the elements mentioned above could cause wear and tear, eventually leading to the rope’s failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners remove dirt, debris, and old grease, preparing the surface for proper lubrication. This does not just improve the efficiency of the lubricant but also facilitates early detection of issues like broken strands or excessive wear.
