Wire ropes are silently powered to bridges, construction cranes, and elevators. These vital components bear tremendous weight and withstand harsh conditions. But, if they are not properly maintained, even the strongest wire rope may succumb to wear and tear resulting in dangerous safety risks and costly downtime.
Corelube is a company with more than 40 years of experience, has a deep understanding of the critical role wire ropes play. Corelube develops and designs the most advanced Wire Rope Lubrication Systems and Grease Systems as well as Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners. It ensures that ropes work optimally for years to come.
The two-pronged approach for maintenance of wire rope:
Wire ropes can be extended by a two-pronged strategy: protect the wires’ core from corrosion and wear and shield the outside surface from extreme environmental elements and conditions.
Interior Protection: The unseen adversary is corrosion. Moisture, contaminants and contamination can enter the outer rope’s strands, creating internal corrosion that weakens the core. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems are created to supply the exact amount of lubricant needed directly into core. This creates a protective shield from corrosion and decreases internal friction.
External Defense: The outside strands of a wire rope are exposed to a range of challenges, including dirt, abrasions, and extreme weather. If neglected, can lead to wear, strand breaks, and rope failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems & Groove Cleaners clean dirt, debris, and old grease to ensure that surfaces are properly lubricated. This allows not only for optimum lubricant performance, but also the early detection and prevention of issues like worn strands, or broken strands.
