What method should be adopted when refueling a spiral elevator?
The screw jack is composed of components such as worm gears, housing, bearings, and screw shafts. Its operating principle is as follows: the motor or manual drive rotates the worm, which in turn drives the worm gear to reduce speed and rotate. The inner cavity of the worm gear is machined into an internal thread, driving the screw shaft to move up and down. Due to the presence of worm gears and the减速 effect of the screw shaft, it achieves the purpose of extending the thrust. Today, let's discuss what precautions should be taken when oiling a screw jack in daily use?
Different types of screw conveyors require different lubricating oils. If the application frequency is assumed to be too high, liquid industrial gear oil must be used. If industrial lithium-based grease is used instead, the lubricating effect is significantly reduced, and issues such as overheating may also occur, leading to rapid wear of the worm and worm gear set. When using 0000# industrial lithium-based grease, the lubricating effect is excellent even with varying degrees of use of the elevator.
During operation, the screw portion is also in constant motion, although at a slow pace, lubrication for the screw is still essential. In terms of screw lubrication, we recommend using grease due to its strong adhesive properties. When the operating speed is not rapid, the grease can be applied to the entire screw, ensuring better lubrication during use.
