Wire rope lubricator

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. Features and benefits Reduces friction Protects against corrosion Enables lubricant to adhere to each wire and penetrate to the core for long-lasting protection Fast and efficient – reduces lubrication time by up to 90% vs. manual lubrication Increases operator safety Protects the wire ropes Reduces waste and contamination Robust design for harsh environments Applications First choice for applications in marine, oil and gas or steel industry: Traveling cranes, wharf cranes, ship cranes, mobile cranes Deck winches, ship hoists Winding machines in open pit mining Oil and gas rigs Ropes Chair and ski lifts Elevators
