Wire ropes power construction cranes as well as elevators. They also support bridges. They must withstand harsh conditions and bear heavy loads. If they are not maintained properly even wire ropes made that are of top quality may become worn out, resulting in costly downtimes and health hazards.
Corelube has more than 40 years of experience and knows the importance of wire ropes. The company develops, engineers, and manufactures state-of-the-art Wire Rope Lubrication Systems, Grease Systems, Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners to ensure ropes perform at their best for a long time to come.
The Two-Pronged Approach to Wire Rope Care:
Wire ropes can be extended using two-pronged methods: protect the core wires against wear and corrosion, and also shield the outer layer from extreme environmental elements and conditions.
Interior Protection: Corrosion, the unspoken enemy of wire cords. Moisture and contaminants may seep through the outer strands leading to internal rust that weakens the core, the rope’s lifeline. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems deliver an exact quantity of lubricant directly into the core, creating a protective layer against corrosion while reducing internal friction.
Exterior Defense: The outer wire rope strands are subject to numerous challenges, such as dirt, abrasions, and extreme weather conditions. When neglected, can lead to wear, breakages, and even rope failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners remove dirt, debris, and old grease, preparing the surface for proper lubrication. It not only improves the efficacy of the grease, but it also allows an early identification of problems like broken strands or excessive wear.
