Lubrication
Effective lubrication with the correct rope lubricant can extend fatigue life, minimise abrasive wear and help to minimise corrosion.
Laboratory bend fatigue tests show the significant effect which high performance manufacturing lubricant and in-service lubrication has on rope life. In-service lubrication with a suitable lubricant should be carried out wherever possible however the best opportunity to introduce lubricant into the rope is during manufacture.
