Research by professionals indicates that proper lubrication of wire rope can significantly prolong its service life. Without proper and reasonable lubrication, the wire rope will soon be corroded, worn and aged, and must be replaced before its normal life expectancy.
Why wire rope needs re-lubrication?
· Reduce wear between wire ropes and external machinery or impurities, and reduce friction and wear between internal strands and strands due to stress.
· Set up a wire rope anticorrosion layer to prevent corrosion and chemical corrosion of wire ropes caused by wet, acid, alkali or acid gases in the surrounding environment.
· To prolong the service life of wire rope, reduce unnecessary equipment repair costs and loss of production due to equipment downtime.
How to properly lubricate wire rope?
· Most of the failure of wire rope is the wear and corrosion caused by the withering of the internal lubricant, wire ropes fail from the inside, it is important to make sure that the center core receives sufficient lubricant.
· Wire rope should always be cleaned carefully before lubrication. The objective of cleaning is to remove all foreign matter and old lubricant from the valleys between the strands as well as the spaces between the outer wires. This allows the new lubricant to flow into the rope.
· Chose suitable lubricant special for wire rope, as well as correct lubrication tools and method to ensure the lubrication process is proper.
Brief Introduction of VMAXX® wire rope cleaner & lubricator kit
The wire rope cleaner & lubricator kit enabled to remove the dirt, gravel and used grease on the wire rope prior lubrication so that to improve the permeability of new grease. At the same time, the lubricant under high pressure is directly injected into the inner part of the wire rope and the rope core to make it more thorough, reasonable and effective maintenance. Prolong the service life of wire rope and avoid hidden trouble.
Features & Advantages of wire rope clean& lubricator kit
· The operation is simple, fast and efficient. Compared with all kinds of manual lubrication methods, the working efficiency can be up to 90%
· Reasonable lubrication not only completely covers the surface of the wire rope, but also penetrates into the core of the steel cord to prolong the service life of the wire rope to the greatest extent.
· Effectively remove rust, gravel and other impurities from the wire rope surface area.
· No longer use manual lubrication, improve operator safety, avoid grease waste and environmental pollution;
· Applicable to most of the wire rope use environment (applicable rope diameter of 8~80mm, more than 80mm can be customized).
· Strong and durable design, suitable for almost all bad working conditions.
Applications
· Marine - mooring and anchor ropes, deck winches, quayside cranes, ROV umbilical, submarine wire ropes, submarines, cargo cranes, mine hoists, oil well platforms and ship loaders.
· Industry - bridge crane, mobile crane, NDT service, mining hoist rope, lifting rope, wire rope manufacturer
Wire Rope Cleaner & Lubricator kit and Major Components
The wire rope lubricator is composed of wire rope clamp, wire rope sealer, oil inlet quick connector and other components. Through the VMAXX® pneumatic pump, the pressure grease is stored in the sealing chamber, and the wire rope is pressurized and lubricated, so that the grease penetrates quickly into the inner part of the steel wire and obtains full lubrication. The oil inlet is more convenient and time saving by adopting fast connection.
The steel wire rope clamp adopts hinge structure, which is more convenient for locking and sealing.
Wire Rope Cleaner & Lubricator kit Components
VMAXX® groove cleaner is used to remove the dirt, gravel and used grease on the wire rope before the wire rope passes through the lubricator. This method promotes the penetration of new grease and improves corrosion shielding. Prolong the service life of wire rope and avoid hidden trouble.
To ensure an effective cleaning, each groove cleaner is produced individually based on rope specifications to make sure that the device profile matches accurately with the strands.
Wire Rope Cleaner & Lubricator kit Components
Compressed air is used as power source and high pressure output grease. The pressure of the input gas can be adjusted according to the needs of the field, and the output pressure and the output of grease can be controlled. The utility model has the advantages of convenient adjustment, stable output pressure and long service life, and can be used for lubricating equipment under different working conditions.
Specifications
· Input air pressure:0.2-0.6MPa
· Compression ratio: 50:1 (selected according to steel wire rope and customer needs)
· Applicable lubricating barrel package: 10kg / 15kg / 50kg / 180kg
How to Chose Correct Wire Rope Cleaner & Lubricator kit
Select suitable Clamps & Interior seals
In order to clean and lubricate the steel wire rope more effectively, firstly, the diameter of the steel wire rope needs to be measured accurately in a correct way (see the figure below), so as to select the appropriate wire rope clamp and sealer. Then determine right or left lay rope strands,number of outer strands and measure the twist distance of the steel wire rope in a correct way, so as to select the appropriate groove cleaner.
The length of a strand lay is the distance measured parallel to the center line of the strand in which one wire makes one complete spiral or turnaround the strand. Lay length measurement is shown in Fig. Below.

Why wire rope needs properly lubricant?
Selecting the correct & high-performance lubricants can significantly extend the life of wire rope, reduce down-time, and introduce a safer work environment. The special wire rope grease which VMAXX® provides has following features.
· Excellent lubrication properties reduce wear on wires and strands
· With good fluidity and penetration ability to ensure lubrication and protection of the rope core
· Superior resistance to water, salt spray, acid rain and other corrosives
· High adhesion can resist rain and seawater wash-off, and prevent movement or vibration from being fling-off
· Wide temperature working range to avoid lubricant dripping or chapping from the steel wire rope at high and low temperature
· Safe and environment-friendly, suitable for different lubrication methods.
