Wire ropes offer quiet power to construction cranes, bridges and elevators. They are the most essential component that is designed to withstand the rigors of extreme loads and harsh conditions. But, if they are not properly maintained, even the strongest wire rope can succumb to wear and tear which can lead to costly downtime and safety hazards.
Corelube is a company with more than 40 years expertise and recognizes the importance of wire ropes. The company designs and engineers modern Wire Rope Lubrication Systems and Grease Systems as well as Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners. It ensures that ropes work optimally over a long period of time.
The Two-Pronged Method of Wire Rope Care:
To extend the life of wire ropes, it is the use of two different strategies: protecting the core wires inside from wear and corrosion as well as shielding the exterior from the elements of the environment and extreme wear conditions.
Interior Protection: Corrosion, the invisible enemy of wire cords. Moisture, contaminants and contamination may penetrate the outer rope’s strands, leading to internal corrosion that weakens its core. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems deliver a precise amount of lubricant directly to the core, creating a barrier against corrosion as well as reducing internal friction.
Exterior Protection: Wire rope’s outer strands may be subjected to a myriad of hazards like dirt, abrasion or extreme weather. These elements, if left unchecked can lead to wear, strand breaks, and rope breakage. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems, along with Groove Cleaners, remove dirt debris, grease and other particles to make the surface of the rope for proper lubrication. This allows not only for optimum lubricant performance, but also for early detection and prevention of problems like worn strands or broken strands.
