Roller chain is manufactured from highly engineered components and
proper maintenance is required for users to get the maxim efficiency from the
chain. You should always make regular visual inspections and carry out preventative
maintenance as and when required.
Proper lubrication of a chain drive is very important and will help to
give the best performance. If the chain is not properly lubricated its life
will be decreased, lack of lubrication is one of the main causes of premature
chain wear and failure.
Lubrication using the correctly selected/recommended lubricant is vital
to minimise the wear of the chain components which have direct
metal to metal contact, wear will result due to friction if not lubricated.Chain elongation can also be caused by wear between the chain pin and bush
during its movement, as well as helping to prevent elongation, good lubrication
cools down the chain when running at high speed and helps reduce noise while
running.
