Wire ropes are the backbone of countless industries, silently providing power to elevators, cranes for construction, and bridges. They’re strong enough to stand up to heavy loads and harsh environments. Even the strongest wire ropes are susceptible to wear without proper maintenance. This can lead to costly downtime as well as safety hazards.
Corelube is a company with more than 40 years of expertise, has a deep understanding of the critical role wire ropes play in the lives of people. Corelube develops and designs the most advanced Wire Rope Lubrication Systems and Grease Systems as well as Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners. This ensures ropes perform in peak condition over a long period of time.
The Two-Pronged Approach to Wire Rope Care
To prolong the life of wire ropes it’s important to use two approaches. The core wires inside are protected from corrosion and deterioration and the exterior wires should be protected from weather conditions and wear.
Internal Protection: The silent adversary is corrosion. Water, dirt and other contaminants can penetrate the outer strands of the rope, creating internal corrosion that weakens its core. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems are created to supply the exact amount of lubricant needed directly into core. This creates a shield from corrosion and decreases internal friction.
Exterior Defense: The outside wire rope strands are subjected to numerous challenges like dirt, abrasions and extreme weather conditions. If not taken care of, these elements can cause wear and tear, which can lead to strand breaking and ultimately the rope breaking. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners remove dirt, debris, and old grease, preparing the surface to ensure proper lubrication. This ensures optimal performance of the lubricant, but also for early detection and prevention of issues like worn strands or broken strands.
