What are the requirements for selecting lubricant for normal temperature chain? Basically, the lubricant used for the chain should meet the following two requirements: 1. Basic requirements: be able to cope with slow oscillation motion/high frequency pressure and oscillation load; The wear caused by mixed friction and boundary friction., 2. On the premise of sufficient budget, the lubricant is required to have good permeability, adhesion and anti-wear effect. Why should we meet the above two requirements? That is because: the anti-wear effect is good, which can maximize the service life of the chain. With good permeability and adhesion, the oil can reach the friction part in the chain link, allowing the chain to obtain continuous lubrication supply. The frequency of oil pumping will be reduced; The dosage will decrease naturally.
How to choose lubricant for high-temperature chain? The working condition of high-temperature chain is more severe than that of normal-temperature chain, so the requirements for lubricant selection are higher. In addition to meeting the requirements of normal temperature chain oil, high-temperature chain grease must also meet the following four points: 1. [Good permeability] The chain oil with good permeability can ensure that each joint of the chain is lubricated. 2. The performance of [low volatility] [low fuel consumption] is better; The use cost is only low 3. [The carbon residue rate should be low] The chain life is long enough 4. [Good pumpability] Many factories use automatic heavy oil to add oil to the chain; Good fluidity of oil; It is more convenient to pump oil. 5. [Good adhesion] Whether the consumption of chain oil can be reduced and the chain can be lubricated for a long time.
