Proper lubrication of your wire rope, chain and cable can safely extend its operational life regardless of application. Cranes, elevators, shovels, drilling rigs, suspension bridges and draglines are some of the many applications that use wire rope, chain or cable to perform work such as pulling, dragging or hoisting. These applications often are exposed to harsh environmental conditions, including extreme weather. Lubrication Engineers can help your wire rope, chain and cable last longer and operate safely by implementing a lubricant reliability program and recommending the right lubricants for the job.

Most wire ropes are lubricated during the manufacturing process, but this lubricant will not last the entire life of the rope. When looking for a lubricant to relubricate your wire rope, choose one that contains no acids or alkalis, possesses the adhesive strength to stay on the rope, can penetrate between wires and strands, has high fluid film strength, resists oxidation and remains pliable. It is important to remember that most wire ropes fail from the inside out. Corroded rope can be a safety hazard, as there is no way to determine its remaining strength and life. Proper lubrication will help prevent deterioration of wire rope due to rust and corrosion.

Because most wire ropes fail from the inside, it is critical to ensure the center core receives sufficient lubricant. LE recommends a combined regimen in which a penetrating lubricant is used to saturate the core, followed by a coating lubricant to seal and protect the outer surface. LE offers several penetrating and coating type wire rope lubricants to suit your specific needs.

Penetrating lubricants contain an evaporative solvent that facilitates migration of the lubricant into the core of the wire rope, then evaporates, leaving behind a heavy lubricating film that protects and lubricates each strand.

Wirelife Almasol Coating Grease (451-453) is a soft, semifluid calcium-based grease designed to coat wire rope as well as moving chain and cable parts to ensure long life and smooth, quiet operation. Its tacky, water-resistant characteristics enable it to adhere strongly to rapidly moving parts, seal out damaging moisture, protect against premature wear and shield metal against corrosive attack.

Typical Applications: Wire rope, chain links, pins, bushings, cable sheave bushings, cables, open and closed silent and roller chains, and small, slow-turning gearboxes that require a semifluid lubricant

Wirelife Almasol Coating Lubricant (2002) is a fluid wire rope lubricant that provides a tough outer coating to seal and protect against fretting corrosion, wear and rust – even under extreme load and moisture. It seals and protects better than any product available. When used in conjunction with Wirelife Monolec Penetrating Lubricant, maximum protection and wear reduction is achieved.

Wirelife Almasol Syn Coating Lubricant (2022) is an extremely tacky, nonasphaltic synthetic lubricant with exceptionally high film strength. Perfect for extreme environments and conditions, it is the ultimate outer surface protector for wire rope and cable and comes from the same advanced technology that LE developed to protect large open gears in the mining and quarry industries. It derives its high load-carrying capacity from its synergistic blend of an extreme pressure additive and Almasol, LE’s exclusive wear-reducing additive.

Wirelife Monolec Penetrating Lubricant (2001) has excellent corrosion resistance and high load-carrying (EP) properties. It penetrates to the core of wire ropes, whether they are running or stationary. It is also excellent as a penetrating lubricant for chains of all sizes and works well in a variety of other industrial applications. When used in conjunction with Wirelife Almasol Coating Lubricant, maximum protection and wear reduction is achieved.

It contains a petroleum solvent to enhance its ability to penetrate. The solvent evaporates, leaving behind a film of heavy-bodied lubricant that protects and lubricates each strand and resists leakage from the wire rope core. Available in bulk sizes or in an aerosol version.

Typical Applications: All stationary or moving wire ropes or cables under heavy loads; chains of all sizes; mining and construction applications such as standing and running lines, draglines, cranes and derricks; marine applications such as cranes, hoists and drilling rigs; any other application that requires excellent rust protection for steel parts.

Designed for marine environments and other applications where environmental concerns require the use of a very low toxicity wire rope and chain lubricant, LE’s Wirelife Low Tox Penetrating Lubricant (2011) has excellent load-carrying capability and provides outstanding protection against rust, while having the lowest possible toxic effect on the environment.

Earthwise EAL Wire Rope Grease (3353) is recommended for use in applications on or near the waterways. It is an EAL and meets the specifications required by the EPA’s Vessel General Permit (VGP). It is readily biodegradable, exhibits minimal aquatic toxicity and will not accumulate in the cells of fish and other aquatic life forms. It is a soft, semifluid formulation designed to coat wire rope as well as moving chain and cable parts to ensure long life and smooth, quiet operation. Its semi-tacky, water-resistant characteristics enable it to adhere to the application and seal out damaging moisture and protect against rust formation.

Developed as a service tool, the Lincoln Wire Rope Lubricator is attached periodically to equipment on a monthly, quarterly or other cycle to lubricate wire ropes. Lubrication intervals should be determined according to rope manufacturer specifications. The life cycle of a steel wire rope that has been periodically lubricated is approximately six to eight times longer than a wire rope that has not been lubricated. Specifically for Wire Rope Lubricator applications a biodegradable grease LGTE 2 is available. The grease is environmentally acceptable and certified with Ecolabel.

Also, lubricating a wire rope while in service helps to prevent corrosion of the wires. Corrosion can be internal and external, and it often is caused by acids, alkaline waters, salt air, humidity, fumes, and abrasive and industrial environments in general.

A mine hoist is a pharynx equipment connecting the ground and underground in the process of coal mining, and the hoisting wire rope is the only traction part connecting the hoisting container, so its performance directly determines the hoisting safety. With the increasing demand for deep coal resource mining, mine hoists are gradually developing in the direction of ultra-deep and heavy load. The multi-layer winding hoist has become the first choice for ultra-deep mining because of its small drum size and excellent lifting capacity. However, in the process of multi-layer winding and hoisting, poor or failure of lubrication between wire ropes on the drum will inevitably lead to direct contact wear and reduce their mechanical properties. In addition, fluctuations in load, speed, and acceleration will accelerate the wear of the wire ropes, thus incurring real potential safety hazards. In the past, scholars have done a lot of work on the friction, wear, and mechanical properties of wire ropes and wires.

Fretting wear is inevitable due to the difference of tensile deformation between steel wires during the use of wire rope. In order to explore the fretting wear characteristics of steel wires under tension, torsion, and both, Wang et al. [1,2] compared and analyzed the wear states of steel wires under the three conditions with the help of a test bench and found that the wear mark size and wear rate are the largest under the combined condition of extension and torsion. Xu et al. [3] set up a steel wire fretting wear test rig considering the convex–concave structure of the spiral contact between the steel wires, and the fretting wear tests between the spiral contact steel wires with different sliding amplitudes while contact loads under the action of tension–torsion coupling force were carried out. They found that the wear degree of steel wire increases with increasing sliding amplitude and contact load. Subsequently, Xu et al. [4] analyzed the influence of diameter and cross angle on fretting wear behavior between steel wires under the action of tension–torsion coupling force and found that the larger cross angle makes the contact area of steel wires easier to enter the local slip state. In order to explore the specific parameters affecting the fretting wear between steel wires, Kumar et al. [5] systematically carried out a large number of analysis tests, and concluded that the material characteristics, structure, fatigue, contact. and lubrication all affect the fretting wear between steel wires. The mechanical properties of steel wire directly determine the bearing capacity of rope, so some scholars have conducted a great deal of research work on the mechanical properties of steel wire. In view of the important influence of heat treatment on the mechanical properties of steel wire, Wei et al. [6] studied the influence of low temperature annealing on the mechanical properties of cold-drawn pearlite stainless steel wire, and found that the tensile strength of steel wire was improved after low temperature annealing. Subsequently, Wei et al. [7] carried out an analysis of the effect of drawing heating on the microstructure and mechanical properties of cold-drawn pearlite stainless steel wire and found that low-temperature drawing gives lower strength and better ductility due to the lower content of nanocrystalline cementite. Beretta et al. [8] established a fatigue strength prediction model based on the propagation of surface defects in the cold drawing manufacturing process of steel wire. The model mainly considers the number of extreme defects in steel wire and the material properties jointly expressed by cyclic yield strength and crack propagation threshold. The manufacturing temperature of cold-drawn hypereutectoid steel wire is usually high. In order to explore the influence of high temperature on the evolution of its microstructure and mechanical properties, Jafari et al. [9] studied the changes of microstructure and tensile strength of steel wire after deformation at different temperatures for a certain period of time. They found that high temperature promoted the formation of carbon-poor (Fe, Mn, Cr) 3C cementite particles, thus destroying the stability of the layered structure and further reducing the strength of the steel wire. Nguyen et al. [10] explained the mechanical property degradation mechanism of steel wire under stress relaxation by using microstructure evolution and the grain boundary strengthening mechanism. Cruzado et al. [11,12] established a finite element model that can effectively predict the wear marks of steel wires under fretting wear conditions, which provides reference for wire rope designers to analyze the wear degree of wire ropes under different operating parameters and mechanism parameters.

The mechanical properties of wire rope directly determine the safety of mine hoisting. Some scholars have performed much research work on the mechanical properties of wire rope by means of experiments. Mouradi et al. [13] monitored the damage evolution process of 19 × 7 non-rotating wire ropes through fracture tensile tests, and defined the different stages of damage evolution of the wire rope and the critical life fraction that may lead to sudden failure. In view of the negative influence of broken wires on the mechanical properties of wire ropes, Zhang et al. [14] conducted bending fatigue tests on the wire rope samples with different pre-broken wire distributions based on a self-made bending fatigue test device and found that broken wires increased the stress in the internal strands and the contact force between steel wires, thus reducing the service life of wire ropes. The friction and wear of wire ropes seriously threatens the safety and reliability of traction transmission equipment. In order to truly simulate the friction and wear behavior of two wire ropes when they cross contact, Chang et al. [15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22] made a self-made wire rope friction and wear testing machine, and tests with different working conditions, structural parameters, and environmental parameters were carried out. In addition, Peng et al. [23] set up a testing machine to simulate the impact of winding hoisting wire ropes, and found through tests that the increase of load, slip speed, and impact speed seriously threatened the mechanical properties of the wire ropes.

Lubrication is an important measure to improve the service life and operational safety of wire ropes. However, the operating conditions of multi-layer winding hoisting wire ropes in an ultra-deep mine are often extremely harsh, and lubrication failure readily occurs, thus accelerating the wear of the wire ropes. In order to adapt to the harsh operating environment, modification of lubricating grease has been favored by many scholars. Zhao et al. [24] evaluated the friction and wear properties of lithium-based grease with nano-calcium borate as additive through an oscillating friction and wear tester. They found that the deposited nano-calcium borate and tribochemical compounds such as B2O3, CaO, and iron oxide on the friction surface were the main reasons for the improvement of the anti-wear and bearing capacity of grease. Bai et al. [25] used gallium-based liquid metal as an additive and uniformly added it to grease by means of mechanical stirring and ball milling and verified the improvement of the lubricating ability of the grease by four-ball tests. Graphene has a thin solid lubricating film, so it can effectively reduce friction and adhesion between contact surfaces, and can be used as an excellent anti-wear material [26]. Wang et al. [27] found that graphene as an additive could significantly improve the anti-wear and anti-wear ability of grease. The main reason is that graphene can not only be used as a protective substrate for deposited films but can also promote the formation of Fe2O3 and Li2O friction films, thus significantly improving the tribological properties of grease. Cheng et al. [28] prepared graphene-based semi-solid grease by a high dispersion mixing method and verified its good lubricating performance by friction tests. Sun et al. [29] verified that grease with graphene and nanographite as additives could effectively slow down the wear degree between steel wires with the help of a steel wire fretting wear testing machine. However, the chemical inertia of graphene and the mutual stacking of π–π bonds between layers make it difficult to uniformly disperse into lubricants, thus limiting its application. Ci et al. [30] produced fluorinated graphene which can be uniformly dispersed into base oil, while the lubricating oil modified by the additive has good wear-reducing characteristics. Due to the oxygen-containing functional groups on the substrate and the edge of the sheet, it is possible to modify graphene oxide to improve its dispersibility in lubricating oil. Fan et al. [31] prepared modified graphene oxide using alkyl imidazole ionic liquids as raw materials by the epoxy ring-opening reaction, cation-π stacking, or the van der Waals reaction. They found that the alkyl imidazole ionic liquid-graphene-rich friction film formed on the sliding surface was the main reason for its use as additive to improve the anti-friction and anti-wear properties of lubricating oils. Paul et al. [32] studied the effect of dodecylamine functionalized graphene as nano-additive on the tribological properties of industrial engine oil based on a UMT-2 friction testing machine and found that the friction film formed by the nano-additive reduced the coefficient of friction between friction pairs.

To sum up, previous scholars mainly studied the mechanical properties and friction and wear characteristics of steel wires and wire ropes. In addition, some scholars realized wear reduction by modifying lubricating grease. However, at present, there has been no research on modifying lubricating oil with lanthanum stearate to improve the anti-friction and anti-wear abilities of wire ropes under complex working conditions. Rare earth metal elements have strong chemical activity due to their special electronic layer structure and low electronegativity. They can diffuse and penetrate the subsurface layers of the friction contact surfaces to improve the structural properties of the materials and promote wear resistance; in addition, the corrosion resistance of the materials was also significantly enhanced. In this paper, first, lanthanum stearate was prepared by the saponification reaction, and its dispersion stability in IRIS was analyzed. Then, the extreme pressure performance, anti-friction, and anti-wear properties of LSMLO were investigated by four-ball friction tests. Finally, the influence of LSMLO on sliding friction and wear characteristics of wire ropes was analyzed by using a self-made wire rope sliding wear test rig.

Corelube designs, engineers & manufactures state-of-the-art, wire rope lubricators/lubricator & wire rope cleaning tools. Corelube has been solving wire rope maintenance problems for over 40 years.

The key to maintaining wire ropesis protecting the interior core wires from corrosion and wear with protecting the exterior from the elements and extreme wear conditions. Corelube Equipment has designed wire rope lubrication systems that address both of these issues.

We believe there is no one size fits all solution when it comes to wire rope lubrication. With 40 years of designing wire rope lubrication systems, we believe our systems are the most advanced/environmentally friendly systems out there.

Wire rope lubricants with good penetrating properties are key to preventing internal corrosion & wear. Corelube highly recommends wire rope lubricants that transition from penetrating oil to grease.

Prevent gear damage, such as scoring or pitting, and wear and eccentric deformation of wire ropes, thanks to their excellent load bearing and adherence properties.

Wire rope or cable is used for a wide variety of purposes ranging from stationary service, such as guys or stays and suspension cables, to service involving drawing or hoisting heavy loads. In these various services, all degrees of exposure to environmental conditions are encountered. These range from clean, dry conditions in applications such as elevator cables in office buildings, to full exposure to the elements on outdoor equipment. This could include immersion in water that can be encountered on dredging equipment to exposure to corrosive environments, such as acid water,

found in many mining applications. These and other operating factors require that wire ropes be properly lubricated to provide long rope life and maximum protection against rope failure where the safety of people is involved.

A wire rope consists of several strands laid (helically bent, not twisted) around a core. The core can be a rope made of hemp or other fiber, or may be an independent wire rope or strand. Each strand consists of several wires laid around the core, which usually consists of one or more wires but may be a small fiber rope. The number of wires per strand typically ranges from 7 to 37 or more.

Each wire of a wire rope can be in contact with three or more wires over its entire length. Each contact is theoretically along a line, but this line actually widens to a narrow band because of a deformation under load. As load is applied, and as a rope bends or flexes over rollers, sheaves, or drums, stresses are set up that cause the strands and individual wires to move with respect to each other under high contact pressures. Unless lubricating films are maintained in the contact areas, considerable friction and wear result from these movements.

One of the principal causes of wire rope failures is metal fatigue. Bending and tension stresses, repeated many times, cause fatigue. Eventually, individual wires break and the rope is progressively weakened to the extent that it must be removed from service. If lubrication is inadequate, the stresses are increased by high frictional resistance to the movement of the wires over one another, fatigue failures occur more rapidly, and rope life is shortened.

Another principal cause of rope failure is corrosion. This covers both direct attack by corrosive materials, such as acid water that may be encountered in mines, to various forms of rusting. To protect against corrosion, lubricant films that resist displacement by water must be maintained on all wire surfaces.

Wear, deterioration, or drying out of the core result in reduction of the core diameter and loss of support for the strands. The strands then tend to overlap, and severe cutting or nicking of the wires may occur. The lubricant applied in service must be of a type that will penetrate through the strands to the core to minimize friction and wear at the core surface, seal the core against water, and keep it soft and flexible.

During manufacture, wire rope cores are saturated with lubricant. A second lubricant, designed to provide a very tenacious film, is usually applied to the wires and strands to lubricate and protect the wires and to help keep (seal) the lubricant in the core as they are laid up. These lubricants protect the rope during shipment, storage, and installation.

Much of the core lubricant applied during manufacture is squeezed out when the strands are laid, and additional lubricant is lost from both the core and strands as soon as load is applied to a rope. As a result, in-service lubrication must be started almost immediately after a rope is placed in service.

Proper lubrication of wire ropes in service is not easy to accomplish. Some of the types of lubricants required for wire ropes may not be easy to apply, and often wire ropes are somewhat inaccessible. Various methods of applying lubricants are used, including brushing, spraying, pouring on a running section of the rope, drip or force feed applicators, and running the rope through a trough or bath of lubricant. Generally, the method of application is a function of the type of lubricant required to protect a rope under the conditions to which it is exposed.

These requirements necessitate some compromises. Wire rope lubricants may be formulated with asphaltic or petrolatum-based material and contain rust preventives and materials to promote metal wetting and penetration. Diluent products are used in some cases for ease of application. Grease products containing solid lubricants such as graphite or molybdenum disulfide are also used. The challenges with greases are the ability of the lubricant to penetrate to the inner core strands and its attraction for dust and dirt buildup. Wire ropes are often used in applications operating near or on an ocean, bay, river, lake, or other waterway, and as a result require environmentally acceptable wire rope lubricants to minimize their impact on the environment.

If you are going to pick up steel wire ropes that suit your project perfectly, you must have an ideal about the construction about them. Our company can supply bright wire rope, galvanized wire rope, stainless steel wire rope, compacted wire rope, rotation resistant wire ropes, mining wire rope, elevator wire rope, crane wire rope and gas & oilfield wire ropes. Here are some details to solve the problem that may puzzle you whether you are browsing the web or picking up steel wire ropes.

Bright steel wire ropes mean no surface treatment is applied to the rope. Therefore, they have the lower price among these three wire ropes. Generally, they are fully lubricated to protect the rope from rust and corrosion.

Galvanized steel wire ropes feature compressed zinc coating for providing excellent corrosion resistance. With higher break strength yet lower price than stainless steel, galvanized steel wire ropes are widely used in general engineering applications such as winches and security ropes.

Stainless steel wire ropes, made of quality 304, 305, 316 steels, are the most corrosive type for marine environments and other places subjected to salt water spray. Meanwhile, bright and shiny appearance can be maintained for years rather than dull as galvanized steel wire ropes.

Steel wire ropes are composed of multiple strands of individual wires that surrounding a wire or fiber center to form a combination with excellent fatigue and abrasion resistance. These wires and strands are wound in different directions to from different lay types as follows:

Beside above lay types, alternative lay ropes which combine regular lay and lang lay together and ideal for boom hoist and winch lines, can also be supplied as your request.

Two main methods about seizing steel wire ropes in conjunction with soft or annealing wire or strands to protect cut ends of the ropes form loosening.

Mobilarma 778 provides an effective and cost efficient means of protecting cold-rolled sheet and coiled steel prior to processing and during storage. It provides extended protection, even under severe storage conditions resulting in less reject and scrapped materials.

Mobilarma 798 works well between the strands of wire rope providing excellent lubrication as well as protective films. These characteristics reduce wear and improve life of the wire ropes as well as minimize maintenance costs associated with their use. It is compatible with other wire rope core impregnating materials that may have been applied during manufacture. It is easy to apply and economical to use.

Smart businesses look to safely extend the life of their wire ropes with the right specialized lubricant. But even that approach can have unwanted and unfortunate consequences because the lubricants that historically excel at extending the life of wire ropes are not environmentally acceptable.

That was the complex problem presented to Klüber Lubrication by Redaelli Tecna, a global leader in the production of steel wire ropes with over 200 years of experience. They needed an EAL (Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants) solution with a high drop point and a reasonable price point.

Klüberbio AM 92-142 is an environmentally acceptable lubricant that combines excellent load-carrying capacity, good anti-wear protection and strong anticorrosive properties to extend the life of your wires. It also exhibits excellent adhesion to metal surfaces and good water resistance, reducing lubricant consumption and labor.

It was developed as an effective EAL lubricant option for steel wire ropes operating under harsh conditions. Especially those application seen in the marine and offshore industry where wire ropes contact sea water, are exposed to extreme cold or hot climate conditions and the extreme loads experienced during active heave compensation operations.

The partnership was so successful, Redaelli Tecna now recommends Klüberbio AM 92-142 for initial and relubrication of their own steel wire ropes. Klüber Lubrication NA LP is looking for partners within North America that use EAL wire rope lubricants in their marine operations but are not getting the desired results.

Two penetrating lubricants, VICKERLUBE BIO LV WRL, the biodegradable low viscosity wire rope lubricant and its mineral equivalent VICKERLUBE LV WRL are being introduced to the marine and non-marine sectors. The low viscosity lubricant with a solvent component allows lubricant to penetrate between the strands and reach the core of the wire rope providing complete rope lubrication. The solvent then evaporates leaving an oil film that protects and lubricates each strand against wear and corrosion.

To complete the range, Vickers Oils is introducing their well-known BIOGREASE EP2, biodegradable grease to the non-marine industries. BIOGREASE EP2 is one of the top range greases currently available to the marine industry.
