Wire ropes provide silent power for bridges, construction cranes, and elevators. These components must withstand extreme circumstances and carry massive weights. If they are not maintained properly, even wire ropes that are of top quality may become worn out, resulting in costly downtimes and safety hazards.
Corelube has more than 40 years of expertise and recognizes the importance of wire ropes. Corelube develops, engineers and manufactures cutting-edge Wire Rope Lubrication Systems.
The two-pronged approach for cleaning wire rope:
To prolong the life span of wire ropes, it’s imperative to follow an approach that is both. The interior core wires must be protected from corrosion and deterioration and the exterior wires must be protected from elements and wear.
Interior Protection Corrosion is a silent enemy of wire ropes. Moisture or contaminants can seep into the outer strands and trigger internal rust which weakens the rope’s core. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems inject the right amount of lubricant into the core, creating an anti-corrosion barrier that reduces internal friction, creating a protective layer.
Exterior Defense: The outside strands of a wire rope are exposed to a wide range of challenges, such as dirt, abrasions, and extreme weather. If not taken care of, these elements can lead to wear and tear that can lead to strand breakage and ultimately the rope breaking. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners remove dirt, debris and old grease, preparing the surface for proper lubrication. It does not only increase the lubricant’s effectiveness, but it also allows to detect issues earlier, like broken strands, or excessive wear.
