When lubricating the curved roller chain for heavy-duty transmission, it is important to choose a suitable lubricant. First, avoid using low-quality or impure oil. Low-quality lubricants cannot provide effective lubrication. And the acidic substances or abrasive particles in it can damage the chain and cannot be repaired. It is also important to note that heavy oil or grease is too thick to penetrate into the inner surface of the chain and should not be used.
1. A viscosity low enough to allow the lubricating oil to penetrate into the surface to be lubricated;
2. Maintain a sufficiently high viscosity of the lubricating oil film or add appropriate additives under normal bearing pressure;
3, clean and free of corrosive substances;
4. Under normal working conditions, it has the ability to maintain lubrication quality. In general, high-quality lubricants derived from petroleum and free of detergents can meet these requirements. Detergents are generally not required, but it is preferred to contain additives which are resistant to foaming, rust and oil film strength.
