The Invisible Enemy: How Corrosion Weakens Wire Ropes (And How To Stop It)

Wire ropes supply quiet power for bridges, construction cranes and elevators. These components have to withstand severe conditions and must support heavy weights. In the absence of proper maintenance even wire ropes made of the best quality could get worn out, which can result in expensive downtimes as well as safety hazards.

Corelube recognizes, with over forty years of service in the field the importance of wire ropes are. Corelube is a company that designs and creates modern Wire Rope Lubrication Systems and Grease Systems as well as Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners. The result is that ropes function in peak condition for a long time.

The Two-Pronged Method of Wire Rope Care:

Wire ropes are able to be extended with two-pronged strategies: protect the core wires against corrosion and wear and shield the exterior from harsh conditions and environmental elements.

Internal Protection: The unseen adversary is corrosion. Moisture, contaminants and contamination can enter the outer rope’s strands leading to internal corrosion that weakens its core. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems inject an exact amount of lubricant in the core, creating an anti-corrosion barrier, reducing internal friction and creating a protective layer.

Exterior Protection: The exterior wire rope strands are exposed to a variety of challenges, including dirt, abrasions as well as extreme weather conditions. When left unchecked can lead to wear, strand breakage, and even rope failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems & Groove Cleaners clean dirt, debris, and old grease to ensure that surfaces are properly lubricated. It not only improves the efficacy of the grease, but also facilitates an early identification of problems like broken strands or excessive wear.
