Wire ropes are the power source for construction cranes and elevators. They also support bridges. These vital components are able to withstand extreme loads and harsh conditions. But, if they are not properly maintained, even the strongest wire rope is susceptible to wear and tear, which can lead to the cost of downtime as well as safety risks.
Corelube is aware, even after forty years of service in the field, how important wire ropes are. Corelube designs and engineers cutting-edge Wire Rope Lubrication Systems.
The Two-Pronged Method of Wire Rope Care:
Wire ropes can be extended through two-pronged methods: protect the core wires against wear and corrosion, and also shield the outside surface from extreme conditions and environmental elements.
Interior Protection: Corrosion is the unspoken enemy of wire cords. Water, dirt and other contaminants can get into the outer strands of the rope, creating internal corrosion that weakens its core. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems deliver a precise amount of lubricant directly into the core, creating a protective barrier against corrosion and minimizing internal friction.
Exterior Defense: The exterior strands of a wire rope are subject to a myriad of challenges, including abrasion, dirt, and weather extremes. If they are not addressed, the issues mentioned above can cause wear and tear, and ultimately the rope’s failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems & Groove Cleaners clean dirt, debris, and old grease to prepare surfaces for proper lubrication. This does not just improve the efficacy of the grease, but also allows for earlier detection of issues such as broken strands and excessive wear.
