Wire ropes power construction cranes and elevators. They also help support bridges. These components have to withstand severe conditions and carry heavy weights. However, without proper maintenance even the most durable wire rope is susceptible to wear and tear which can lead to costly downtime and safety hazards.
Corelube is aware, even after more than 40 years in the business that wire ropes are as important as they are. Corelube is a company that designs and creates cutting-edge Wire Rope Lubrication Systems and Grease Systems as well as Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners. It ensures that ropes work in peak condition for years to come.
Two-pronged approach to maintenance of wire rope:
Wire ropes can be extended using a two-pronged strategy: protect the core wires against wear and corrosion, as well as shield the outer layer from extreme conditions and environmental elements.
Interior Protection: The silent enemy is corrosion. Moisture or contaminants can seep into the strands that surround it and trigger internal rust, which can weaken the rope’s core. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems are specifically designed to provide the precise amount of lubricant required directly into core. This provides a layer against corrosion, and also reduces internal friction.
Exterior Protection: Wire rope’s outer layers are exposed to a variety of challenges, such as abrasion, dirt or extreme weather. If left unchecked can lead to wear, strand breakage, and rope breakage. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems & Groove Cleaners clean dirt, debris, and old grease to make surfaces suitable for proper lubrication. This allows not only for best performance from the lubricant but also early detection and prevention of problems such as worn strands and broken strands.
