How to reduce the cost of expensive chain maintenance and stop using the wrong chain oil quickly? In all chains, especially rollers, there are special lubricating oil and application problems, and many problems that arise when the chain is used, such as: jamming, wear, cleaning and chain extension due to use. When you use an improper lubricating oil on the chain, the lubricating oil cannot be evenly distributed between the metal and the metal bearing, thus losing the lubricating effect and even affecting the normal running function. In order to avoid these shortcomings, the chain oil must be specially formulated The additives are highly adhered to the metal surface. For those with a strong tendency to friction and oscillating vibration, the oil film will not be removed due to heavy load when sucking lubricating oil, and it can strongly adhere to the chain.
When the chain is operated at high temperature, it is often caused by the problem of chain jamming. Because the air contains dust, residues generated when the lubricating oil is burned or oxidized, the rollers and bearings of the chain are squeezed. When the chain is operated at a high temperature, the viscosity of the lubricating oil will inevitably decrease, and the chain is strongly affected by the centrifugal action, which easily leads to the tendency of lubricating oil. Misuse of high temperature chain oil is prone to the following problems: 1. Severe coking and coking. 2. Not resistant to high temperature, it will dry and solidify at high temperature. 3. Corrosive to the chain. 4. Insufficient lubrication and short service life of the chain. 5. It evaporates quickly and emits smoke. Pay attention to the following items when choosing oil: 1. Temperature viscosity: whether it meets the two basic requirements of temperature and rust-proof lubrication, and whether the viscosity is suitable; 2. Price: Choosing cost-effective products, quality and price must be compared with three companies; 3. Environmental protection: no smoke and no smell 4. How about energy consumption: whether the service life is long and whether the maintenance cost is reasonable, 5. How clean is it: long-term use of the chain. Does the chain need to be cleaned frequently?
Solution: 1. Immediately stop using the wrong oil, clean and maintain the chain regularly, remove the carbon deposits on the chain, check that the chain surface and the inside of the guide wheel bearing are clean and free of attachments, and the guide wheel rotates flexibly. 2. Replace the appropriate oil, refill it regularly, and lubricate it appropriately.
