Wire rope maintenance status and methods
2024-10-24
In the world of manufacturing, the quality of machined surfaces can significantly impact the performance and reliability of mechanical systems. ID-mounted flange facing machines offer a solution for achieving the high standards required in today's industrial environment. These machines are typically used to machine the internal surfaces of flanges, ensuring that they meet the necessary specificati
Current status of wire rope maintenance
Four major limitations
● Lack of lubrication maintenance.
● Outdated lubrication method.
● No cleaning of wire ropes.
● Poor performance of grease.
Manual maintenance
Most of the domestic wire rope cleaning and lubrication is a regular manual application, with a brush or other tools dipped in grease (oil) and then applied to the wire rope. This maintenance method has many problems.
● Poor lubrication effect, waste of grease and environmental pollution.
The use of brushes and other coating tools, there are uneven coating, oil film is too thick, the pressure is small, resulting in small lubricant adhesion and poor internal penetration and other shortcomings, grease (oil) is difficult to enter the wire rope inside, and the phenomenon of waste is particularly serious.
● Dangerous operation mode, endangering personal safety.
In the cleaning, the wire rope running speed is faster, while the wire rope in the running process has a flexible, not easy to control, may jeopardize the personal safety of workers. In particular, working at height has a greater operational risk.
● Low working efficiency, high labor intensity, unable to clean.
Lubrication is operated with tools such as brushes and rags or steam cleaned with detergents, which is time-consuming and ineffective.
Equipment Maintenance
A few companies use ordinary lubricators for lubrication. For example, they use surface grease spraying, grease injectors, and oiling machines. Such equipment lacks the cleaning function, and there is no pressure lubrication, the effect is not good, can not carry out in-depth maintenance of wire rope.
