WIRE ROPE LUBRICATION: PART 2 Properties of the Lubricant

Abstract

In our previous article, we stressed the importance of lubricating wire ropes, both during manufacture and during subsequent service. We also pointed out that ropes having fibre cores need both internal and external lubrication. Most manufacturers lubricate their ropes, with or without fibre cores, at every stage of manufacture.
