Wire ropes power construction cranes and elevators. They also help support bridges. These vital components are strong enough to stand up to the rigors of heavy loads and harsh environments. Without proper maintenance even wire ropes that are of the highest quality can be worn out, resulting in costly downtimes and health hazards.
Corelube has over 40 years experience and knows the importance of wire ropes. Corelube develops engineering, manufactures and designs cutting-edge Wire Rope Lubrication Systems.
Two-pronged approach to cleaning wire rope:
Wire ropes are able to be extended with two-pronged methods: protect the core wires against corrosion and wear and shield the exterior from harsh environmental elements and conditions.
Internal Protection: The unseen adversary is corrosion. Moisture or contaminants can seep into the outer strands and cause internal rust, which weakens the rope’s 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 Protection: The outer wire rope strands are subject to numerous challenges, such as dirt, abrasions, and extreme weather conditions. If left unchecked, the elements mentioned above can result in wear and tear, eventually leading to the rope’s failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners remove dirt, debris and old grease, preparing the surface for proper lubrication. This helps improve lubricant efficiency but also permits an early detection of any issues such as damaged strands, or excessive wear.
