Wire ropes are the workhorses of numerous industries, quietly operating elevators, cranes, construction, and bridges. These components must withstand extreme conditions and must support heavy weights. In the absence of proper maintenance even wire ropes that are of the best quality could wear out, resulting in expensive downtimes as well as safety dangers.
Corelube is aware, even after more than 40 years in the business that wire ropes are as important as they are. Corelube designs, engineers and manufactures cutting-edge Wire Rope Lubrication Systems, Grease Systems, Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners to ensure ropes function at their highest performance in the years to come.
The two-pronged approach for wire rope care:
Extending wire rope life requires the use of two different strategies: protecting the wires in the interior from wear and corrosion, and securing the exterior wires from environmental elements and extreme wear conditions.
Interior Protection Corrosion is an invisible enemy of wire ropes. Moisture or contaminants can seep into the outer strands and cause internal rust, which can cause the rope’s core to weaken. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems inject a precise amount lubricant into the core, forming a barrier against corrosion that reduces internal friction, creating a protective layer.
Exterior Protection: The wire rope’s outer layers are exposed to a variety of challenges, such as abrasion, dirt or extreme weather. When ignored, could lead to damage, strand breaks and rope failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners remove dirt, debris, and old grease, while preparing the surface for proper lubrication. This ensures an optimal lubricant performance but also for early detection and prevention of issues like worn strands or broken strands.
