4 Common Lubrication Methods Of Leaf Chain

No matter how long the chain is used, it needs regular maintenance. For example, cleaning and lubrication are ways to extend the life of the chain. Let’s talk about the 4 common lubrication methods of Leaf Chain :

1. Manually apply oil regularly with an oil can or brush;

2. Dripping oil lubrication, drip oil through the oil pipe to the gap between the inner and outer chain plates of the loose edge;

3. Oil bath lubrication or splash lubrication adopts a sealed transmission box. The chain and sprocket part of the former is immersed in oil, and the latter uses a larger diameter oil sling to splash the oil;

4. The oil pump is lubricated by pressure injection, and the oil pump is used to continuously supply oil to the chain through the oil pipe. The circulating oil can play the role of lubrication and cooling. The kinematic viscosity of lubricating oil used in chain drive is about 20-40mm2/s at operating temperature. Only where the speed is very slow and the oil cannot be supplied, grease can be used instead.
