Wire ropes offer quiet power to construction cranes, bridges, and elevators. They’re strong enough to stand up to heavy loads and harsh environments. But, if they are not properly maintained even the most durable wire rope is susceptible to wear and tear leading to costly downtime and safety hazards.
Corelube is a company with more than 40 years experience and is aware of the significance of wire ropes. The company develops, engineers, and manufactures state-of-the-art Wire Rope Lubrication Systems, Grease Systems, Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners to ensure ropes are at their peak for a long time to come.
The Two-Pronged Approach to Wire Rope Care:
Extending wire rope life requires an approach that is two-pronged: securing the wires in the interior from wear and corrosion, and safeguarding the exterior from the elements of the environment and extreme wear conditions.
Internal Protection: Corrosion, the unspoken enemy of wire cords. Water and contaminants can get into the outer strands, which can cause internal rust that weakens the inner core – the rope’s lifeline. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems are created to supply the exact amount of lubricant you require directly into the core. This creates a protective layer against corrosion, and also reduces friction within the rope.
Exterior Defense: A wire rope’s outer strands are exposed to various dangers like dirt, abrasion or even extreme weather. If left unchecked, the elements mentioned above can result in wear and tear that can lead to rope failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems, and Groove Cleaners, remove dirt, grease and other debris to make the rope’s surface to ensure proper lubrication. It not only improves the lubricant’s effectiveness, it also allows the early detection of issues like broken strands, or excessive wear.
