Wire ropes are the power source for construction cranes as well as elevators. They also support bridges. These vital components are strong enough to stand up to the rigors of heavy loads and harsh environments. Even the strongest wire ropes are susceptible to wear when they are not maintained properly. This causes costly downtime, as well as security risks.
Corelube has more than 40 years experience and understands the importance of wire ropes. Corelube develops and designs state-of-the art Wire Rope Lubrication Systems and Grease Systems as well as Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners. This helps ensure that ropes operate at their best for many years.
The Two-Pronged Solution to Wire Rope Care
Wire ropes can be extended using two-pronged approach: shield the core wires from corrosion and wear and shield the outer surface from extreme environmental elements and conditions.
Interior Protection: Corrosion is the silent enemy of wire ropes. Water or other contaminants can get into the outer strands and cause internal rust, which can cause the rope’s core to weaken. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems are created to supply the exact amount of lubricant required directly into core. This creates a layer against corrosion, and also reduces friction within the rope.
Exterior Protection: The outside wire rope strands are subjected to numerous challenges, such as dirt, abrasions as well as extreme weather conditions. These elements, if ignored, could lead to wear, strand breakage, and rope 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 improves the lubricant’s effectiveness, but also allows the early identification of issues such as damaged strands, or excessive wear.
Corelube is a one-stop-shop for maintaining wire ropes
Corelube takes an all-encompassing approach to wire rope maintenance. Their systems have been developed to integrate and provide a complete solution.
Corelube Wire Rope Lubrication: Corelube offers numerous lubrication solutions, including automatic dispensers which provide continuous protection, as well as manual applicators that are utilized to apply specific oil lubrication. Their systems are designed to make use of them easy and efficient to ensure maximum lubricant penetration and distribution.
Wire Rope Grease Systems: Different applications require different lubricants. Corelube offers high-performance greases that can withstand harsh environments as well as extreme temperatures and the rigors of heavy loads.
To ensure that lubrication is efficient for effective lubrication, it is necessary to cleanse the wire rope. Corelube’s Cleaning Systems, including Wire Rope Groove Cleaners use innovative technology to remove dirt, grease, and debris effectively. This ensures a clean surface for optimal application of lubricants and allows for thorough inspections to spot the possibility of problems before they become obvious.
