Profile bending machine lubrication regulations and 4 tips

Foreword

The profile bending machine needs reasonable lubrication, so as to reduce the power consumption in the section bending. At the same time it will increase the life of the machine.
For this reason, reasonable lubricating materials must be selected. Establish necessary lubrication regulations.

Lubricant

The lubricant of the profile bending machine protects the machine.

Lubricating oil is very important to maintain the normal operation of the gears of the transmission part. The main loss of transmission efficiency is the stirring of the lubricating oil, tooth meshing and bearing friction.

Too little lubricating oil in the transmission part will cause poor lubrication, and the friction part consumes a large amount of power, which reduces the transmission efficiency and accelerates the wear of the gear.

The low viscosity of the lubricating oil will increase the wear, while the high viscosity will make the lubricating oil not easy to splash and cause poor lubrication and reduce the transmission efficiency. Therefore, the lubricating oil must have a proper viscosity.

BIT series profile bending machine uses No. 2 calcium-based grease in summer and No. 1 calcium-based grease in winter.

Lubrication method

The lubrication of BIT series profile bending machine is relatively simple, using two methods of manual lubrication of oil cup lubrication.
The lubrication part of the oil cup and the surface of the transmission gear are required to be lubricated once a week, and the other sliding surfaces and pin shafts that move with each other must be manually filled with lubricating oil every shift.

Lubricant selection


Manual refueling point, use 40# mechanical oil, oil cup lubrication point and gear surface.
(No. 2 calcium base grease is used in summer, and No. 1 calcium base grease is used in winter.)

Lubrication system and matters needing attention

  • The user should establish a specific lubrication system according to the load and operation of the machine.
  • The lubrication points must be sufficiently lubricated before the machine is started.
  • When the machine is working continuously, the lubrication interval should be shortened.
  • The entire lubrication system of the machine is cleared once a year.
