The lubrication and maintenance work of the crane conveyor chain is very important

Feb 18, 2024

Lubricating the conveyor chain of a crane is very important, as it can not only reduce friction and wear, but also make the chain run smoother and complete the work more smoothly. However, lubrication should also be standardized, otherwise the lubrication effect will not be achieved Let's talk about the correct lubrication method for improving the chain.
Firstly, before lubrication, check whether the general lifting chain of the conveyor chain should be vertical, not twisted or deformed, and the spacing between chains should be within 4% of the original length If it exceeds 4% of the original length, the chain should be replaced in a timely manner.
Secondly, the chain should be clean, kept clean and dry, and lubricated with lubricating oil in a timely manner. Lubricating the key parts of the chain and infiltrating lubricating oil into the bearing parts of the chain can reduce abnormal sounds during chain operation.
The conveyor chain should be cleaned regularly after use Do not damage the chain during cleaning Pay special attention not to use corrosive liquids to make the chain brittle, and do not overheat the circular chain during the cleaning process.
Inspect the conveyor chain to ensure the material of the chain, and inspect each link with a focus on deformation, corrosion, and inner ring wear. If severe wear is found, relevant tools can be used for measurement. One way is to choose a chain that has not been used, worn, or pulled up. Another method is to measure the additional pitch data of the worn chain and the unworn chain, and calculate the increase rate of the average pitch of each chain after wear.
1. We should regularly apply lubricating oil to the conveyor chain so that it can work smoothly and extend its service life.
2. Let's talk about the methods of using lubricating oil. The oil droplet cup can be used to place oil droplets between two hinged plates. In addition, it can also be lubricated with a brush, which can be used to apply oil to the surface of the chain.
3. After application, store the conveyor chain in a dry environment to prevent rusting in damp environments.
The above briefly introduces the basic maintenance methods of the conveyor chain, mastering the correct maintenance methods has extended the service life of the mining chain.
