Wire ropes are the workhorses of numerous industries, quietly providing power to elevators, cranes for construction, and bridges. They are incredibly strong and can withstand a lot of mass and are able to withstand extreme conditions. However, without proper maintenance, even the strongest wire rope could succumb to wear and tear which can lead to expensive downtime and security hazards.
Corelube has over 40 years expertise and recognizes the importance of wire ropes. Corelube is a company that designs and creates state-of-the art Wire Rope Lubrication Systems and Grease Systems as well as Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners. The result is that ropes function optimally for many years.
The Two-Pronged Approach to Wire Rope Care
To prolong the life span of wire ropes, it’s imperative to follow an approach in two ways. The wires that are inside are protected from deterioration and corrosion, while the exterior wires should be protected from the elements and wear.
Interior Protection: The unseen enemy is corrosion. Water or other contaminants can get into the outer strands and trigger internal rust which weakens the rope’s central. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems inject a precise amount lubricant into the core, forming the barrier against corrosion which reduces friction within the rope and creating an outer layer of protection.
Exterior Protection: The outside wire rope strands are exposed to a variety of challenges, including dirt, abrasions and extreme weather conditions. These factors, if neglected, can lead to wear, strand breakage, and rope failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems & Groove Cleaners clean dirt, debris and old grease to ensure that surfaces are properly lubricated. It not only improves the lubricant’s effectiveness, but also facilitates earlier detection of issues like broken strands or excessive wear.
