Wire ropes power construction cranes as well as elevators. They also help support bridges. These vital components bear tremendous weight and endure harsh environments. However, without proper maintenance even the most durable wire rope could succumb to wear and tear leading to dangerous safety risks and costly downtime.

Corelube has more than 40 years of expertise, is aware of the important role wire ropes play in the lives of people. The company designs and engineers state-of-the art Wire Rope Lubrication Systems and Grease Systems as well as Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners. This ensures ropes perform optimally for a long time.

The two-pronged method of wire rope care:

Wire ropes can be extended by two-pronged strategies: protect the core wires from wear and corrosion, and also shield the exterior from harsh conditions and environmental elements.

Internal Protection: Corrosion is the unspoken adversary of wire cords. Contaminants, moisture and even sand can enter the outer rope’s strands creating internal corrosion that weakens its core. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems are designed to deliver the exact amount of lubricant you require directly into the core. This creates a shield against corrosion and reduces internal friction.

Exterior Defense: The exterior wire rope’s strands are exposed to a variety of challenges, such as dirt, abrasion, and extreme weather. Unchecked, the factors above could cause wear and tear, eventually leading to rope failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems, and Groove Cleaners, remove dirt, grease and debris to ensure the surface of the rope for proper lubrication. This not only optimizes lubricant effectiveness but also allows the early identification of issues such as damaged strands, or excessive wear.
