Abstract: Automated chain lubrication systems provide an exact metered quantity of lubricant and apply it reliably to the chain where it is required. Despite new types of material and advanced technology, many chains still require lubrication. Optimum lubrication reduces friction and subsequent wear on chains. The largest relative movement of all chains occurs between the link plate and the chain stud, and it is here where considerable forces are present. Insufficient lubrication of this area will result in premature wear and chain failure. The consequence is expensive production downtime. Precise and efficient lubrication is a prerequisite for trouble-free operation and long life of the chain. Modern automated chain lubrication systems apply precisely metered quantities of lubricant to the chain, exactly where it is needed-while the chain is in operation. Proper metering keeps the lubricant quantity to a minimum, yet ensures sufficient amounts, thus reducing the impact on your budget and, of course, the environment! minimizes chain wear and noise levels. The life span of chains can often beincreased by ten times and more.
