Wire ropes are the workhorses of many industries, quietly powering construction cranes, elevators, and bridges. They must withstand harsh conditions and must support heavy weights. But, if they are not properly maintained even the most durable wire rope can succumb to wear and tear resulting in expensive downtime and security hazards.

Corelube has more than 40 years experience and understands the importance of wire ropes. The company develops engineering, manufactures and designs cutting-edge Wire Rope Lubrication Systems.

The Two-Pronged Method to Wire Rope Care

The process of extending the life of wire ropes requires an approach that is two-pronged: securing the inner core wires from corrosion and wear, and securing the exterior wires from environmental elements and severe wear conditions.

Interior Protection: The unseen enemy is corrosion. The elements of moisture, contamination and contaminants can penetrate the outer rope’s strands, causing internal corrosion that weakens the core. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems inject an exact amount of lubricant to the core, creating protection against corrosion by reducing friction inside and creating a protective layer.

Exterior Defense: The exterior wire rope strands of the rope are subject to many challenges including dirt, abrasions, and extreme weather conditions. If left unchecked, the elements mentioned above could cause wear and tear and eventually rope failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners remove dirt, debris, and old grease, while preparing the surface to ensure proper lubrication. This not only optimizes lubricant effectiveness, but also allows the early identification of issues such as broken strands or excessive wear.
