Wire ropes are the power source for construction cranes and elevators. They also support bridges. These components have to withstand severe conditions and bear heavy loads. Even the most durable wire ropes can wear out when they are not maintained properly. This can lead to costly maintenance and security hazards.
Corelube has more than 40 years of experience and is aware of the significance 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. This ensures ropes perform at their best for a long time.
Two-pronged approach to the care of wire ropes:
Extending wire rope life requires two steps: protecting the inner core wires from corrosion and wear, and safeguarding the exterior from the elements of the environment and extreme wear conditions.
Interior Protection Corrosion is a silent adversary of wire ropes. Water, dirt and other contaminants can get into the outer rope’s strands, leading to internal corrosion that weakens its core. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems are created to supply the exact amount of lubricant that is required directly into the core. This creates a protective layer against corrosion, and also reduces friction within the rope.
External Defense: The outside strands of a wire rope are exposed to a range of challenges, such as dirt, abrasions, and extreme weather. If they are not properly addressed, these issues can result in wear and tear, which can lead to breakage of strands, and eventually, rope failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners remove dirt, debris, and old grease, preparing the surface for proper lubrication. This ensures optimum lubricant performance, but also the early detection and prevention of issues like worn strands or broken strands.
