Let’s discuss the methods used for lubricating the main equipment in the company
Thread Content
As is well known, lubrication is closely related to the operation of mechanical equipment; it is a fundamental means to ensure and improve the efficient, normal, and long-term operation of such equipment, and it is essential for the proper functioning of machinery. Without lubrication, mechanical equipment would not exist. Therefore, all countries attach great importance to the development and application of advanced and rational lubrication technologies. According to Japanese sources, in 1970 improvements in lubrication technology in Japan generated economic benefits of 2 trillion yen. By improving lubrication technology alone, the Nagoya Steel Plant achieved economic savings of 2 billion yen, while mechanical equipment failures were reduced by 90 percent.
The main methods of lubrication here are simply adding lubricating oil, applying butter, and supplying lubricating oil continuously through a lubrication pump.
The unit is used for lubrication at gas stations; ordinary pumps are used to apply grease
We’re more or less in the same situation; however, on the newly installed production line, the reducer, when using the original oil, keeps leaking
Small pumps use oil or grease, while larger units employ an oil dilution station.
There’s really nothing that can be done about this old reducer that keeps leaking; it seems like the oil temperature rises too quickly. I’m not sure if using thicker oil would help
Some suggestions: 1. Different pumps have different lubrication requirements, and corresponding lubricants (greases) should be used; generally, these should not be changed arbitrarily. 2. Regarding the oil leakage problem in the reducer, it is necessary to first investigate the specific cause of the leakage, to determine whether it is due to damaged seals (O-rings, gaskets, etc.). 3. Check, in accordance with the reducer’s operating instructions, whether the lubricant used meets the required specifications; for some large-scale units, the viscosity of the oil used varies depending on the season. 4. Check whether the amount of oil in the reducer oil tank is appropriate, as too much oil can easily lead to oil leakage and a rapid increase in oil temperature. Additionally, LZ’s question seems to be about the method of lubrication for equipment. The common methods of lubrication for equipment are generally divided into two categories: oil lubrication and grease lubrication, with oil lubrication further divided into self-lubrication and forced lubrication. Within self-lubrication, there are methods such as drip oil lubrication, splash oil lubrication, and immersion oil lubrication. For reference! This post was last edited by clguan on 2009-3-27 22:28]
In response to the fellow sailors above, I’d like to explain the situation: our company purchased a batch of reducers, but it’s extremely difficult to fill them with oil – even a small amount too much causes oil leakage from the filling port. To address this issue, we tried raising the breather hole by 15 cm, but that didn’t work either; it’s really giving us a headache
