Wire ropes are among the most important components of a variety of industries, quietly providing power to elevators, cranes for construction, and bridges. These components have to withstand severe circumstances and carry massive weights. If they are not maintained properly, even wire ropes of the best quality could get worn out, which can result in costly downtimes and safety hazards.
Corelube recognizes, with over 40 years in the industry how vital wire ropes are. The company develops, engineers and manufactures cutting-edge Wire Rope Lubrication Systems.
The Two-Pronged Method to Wire Rope Care
The process of extending the life of wire ropes requires two steps: protecting the wires in the interior from wear and corrosion and securing the exterior wires from environmental elements and severe wear conditions.
Interior 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 deliver a precise amount of lubricant directly into the core, creating a protective barrier against corrosion and minimizing internal friction.
Exterior defense: A wire rope’s outer strands may be subjected to a myriad of hazards like dirt, abrasion or extreme weather. If not taken care of, these elements can cause wear and tear leading to strand breaking and ultimately a rope failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems, and Groove Cleaners, remove dirt, grease and debris to clean the surface of the rope to ensure proper lubrication. This helps improve lubricant efficiency but also permits an early detection of any issues such as broken strands or excessive wear.
Corelube is a one-stop shop to maintain wire ropes
Corelube offers a complete perspective on wire rope maintenance. The systems they offer are designed so that they combine to provide an entire solution to the following requirements:
Corelube Wire Rope Lubrication: Corelube offers numerous lubrication solutions, including automatic dispensers which provide continuous protection, as well as manual applicators which are used to apply specific lubrication. The systems are designed to make use of them easy and efficient for optimal lubricant penetration and distribution.
Wire Rope Grease Systems: Different applications require different lubricants. Corelube offers high-performance greases that can withstand harsh conditions as well as extreme temperatures and high loads.
In order to ensure that lubrication is effective, it is important to cleanse the wire rope. Corelube’s Cleaning Systems, including Wire Rope Groove Cleaners use cutting-edge technology to eliminate dirt, grease and other debris effectively. This provides a cleaner surface to ensure the best lubricant application and complete inspections.
The benefits of investing in Wire Rope Maintenance
Corelube’s maintenance systems for wire ropes offer many benefits.
Corelube’s products can greatly increase the lifespan of wire ropes. They also help save money because they reduce the need for replacements.
When wire ropes are properly maintained will be less likely to fail, which decreases the risks to safety. They also help create an environment that is safer for workers.
Increased performance of equipment Wire ropes that have been kept clean and lubricated perform more efficiently and reduce energy consumption. They wear out less on the equipment.
