By adding a properly selected and applied LubeSite Chain Oiler toyour drive chain, you can greatly improve a drive’sperformance, operating life and efficiency.
As a chain moves in a sprocket, there is relative movementbetween the pin and bushing surfaces. Wear at thesepoints creates elongation, decreasing both chain life andefficiency. By maintaining an oil film between the pin andbushing, you can greatly reduce this wear.
Proper lubrication can also help to prevent chain failure byproviding protection against rust and corrosion. Rustingallows pits to form, causing stress concentration pointswhich can result in premature chain failure, even atreduced loads. The brush’s bristles will also help to cleanthe chain by removing dirt and other contaminants while
replacing them with clean oil.
LubeSite chain oilers automatically function at predetermined rates to prevent over- and under-lubrication.Downtime is eliminated in applications where equipmentmust be shut down to get to the chain.
The most ideal positioning of LubeSite chain oilers isdirectly in front of the drive sprocket.
