Wire ropes are the backbone of a variety of industries, quietly operating elevators, cranes, construction, and bridges. These crucial components carry a tremendous weight and can withstand the harshest of environments. Even the most durable wire ropes will wear down with no proper maintenance. This can lead to costly maintenance and security hazards.
Corelube is aware, even after more than 40 years in the business, how important wire ropes are. Corelube develops the latest wire ropes, designs and engineers them. Wire Rope Lubrication Systems.
The Two-Pronged Solution for Wire Rope Care
The process of extending the life of wire ropes requires two steps: protecting the core wires inside from wear and corrosion, and protecting the exterior from elements in the environment and extreme wear conditions.
Interior Protection: Corrosion is the unspoken enemy of wire cords. Water or other contaminants can get into the strands that surround it and cause internal rust which weakens the rope’s central. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems are designed to deliver the exact amount of lubricant that is required directly into core. This provides a shield from corrosion and decreases internal friction.
Exterior Defense: The outside wire rope’s strands are exposed to a range of challenges, such as abrasion, dirt, and weather extremes. If not taken care of, the above factors can lead to wear and tear, and ultimately 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 not only optimum lubricant performance, but also early detection and prevention of issues such as worn strands and broken strands.
