Wire ropes are the backbone of a variety of industries, quietly providing power to elevators, cranes for construction and bridges. They are the most essential component that is able to withstand high loads and harsh environments. Even the strongest wire ropes will wear down with no proper maintenance. This causes costly downtime and safety risks.
Corelube has more than 40 years experience and understands the importance of wire ropes. The company develops, engineers and produces state-of-the-art Wire Rope Lubrication Systems, Grease Systems, Cleaning Systems, as well as Groove Cleaners to ensure ropes are at their peak for a long time to come.
The two-pronged method of maintenance of wire rope:
In order to extend the life of wire ropes, you need an approach that is two-pronged: securing the core wires inside from corrosion and wear, and securing the exterior wires from the elements of the environment and extreme wear conditions.
Internal Protection: The unseen enemy is corrosion. The influx of contaminants and moisture can pass into the outer strands creating internal rust which weakens the core, the rope’s lifeline. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems are made to deliver precisely the amount of lubricant that is required directly into core. This creates a protective shield from corrosion and decreases internal friction.
Exterior Defense: The outer wire rope strands are subjected to many challenges including dirt, abrasions, and extreme weather conditions. Unchecked, the factors above could cause wear and tear that can lead to the rope’s failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems, as well as Groove Cleaners, remove dirt debris, grease and other particles to ensure the surface of the rope for proper lubrication. This helps improve lubricant effectiveness but also allows the early identification of issues like broken strands or excessive wear.
