Wire ropes power construction cranes and elevators. They also help support bridges. They must withstand harsh conditions and carry heavy weights. If they are not maintained properly, even wire ropes of the finest quality could wear out, resulting in costly downtimes and safety dangers.

Corelube understands, after forty years of service in the field how vital wire ropes are. Corelube designs and develops modern Wire Rope Lubrication Systems and Grease Systems as well as Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners. The result is that ropes function optimally for many years.

The Two-Pronged Approach to Wire Rope Care:

To prolong the life of wire ropes it is imperative to follow an approach in two ways. The core wires inside are protected from deterioration and corrosion. On the other hand, the wires that are outside need to be protected from the elements and extreme wear.

Interior Protection: The silent adversary is corrosion. Moisture and contaminants may seep through the outer strands, which can cause internal rust that weakens the inner core – the rope’s lifeline. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems inject a precise amount lubricant into the core to create an anti-corrosion barrier which reduces friction within the rope and creating a protective layer.

Exterior defense: A wire rope’s outer strands are exposed to various dangers like dirt, abrasion or extreme weather. These elements, if neglected, can lead to wear, breakages, and rope breakage. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems & Groove Cleaners clean dirt, debris, and old grease to make surfaces suitable for proper lubrication. This allows not only for best performance from the lubricant but also the early detection and prevention of problems like worn strands or broken strands.
