Safe and Uniform Lubricating!
Recommend to carry out re-lubricating regularly for your wire rope service life.
Wire Rope Lubrication
. . . To obtain maximum service life, ropes should be relubricated at regular intervals.
. . . Using a high-pressure lubricator is preferred, because it provides good penetration of the lubricant into the rope.
. . . Modern high-pressure lubricators, together with the latest technology lubricants, provide state-of-the-art relubrication and maintenance for wire ropes.
. . . Before lubrication, a rope must be cleaned with wire brushes, a scraper, compressed air, or superheated steam. Old layers lubricant and dirt may need to be removed from the rope by using a suitable solvent.
5.5.6.3 Maintenance
Steel wire ropes in service may suffer corrosion damage. Corrosion affects the residual strength of a wire but it can also affect the wire ductility and other mechanical characteristics and may shorten the service life.
It is recommended that steel wire ropes should have corrosion protection provided by both galvanizing individual wires and the application of an appropriate lubricant, which should be reapplied as required through the service life of the wire.
