Re-lubrication is crucial for extending chain life, with specific recommendations for each initial lubricant type.

Lubrication and Maintenance of Chain Drives

Lubrication Importance: Lubricants are essential for maintaining chain drives, preventing dry friction, and reducing wear. Regular topping up ensures the chain operates within fluid and mixed friction ranges. Incorrect lubrication can lead to fretting corrosion.

Characteristics of Re-Lubricants: Effective re-lubricants should have adhesiveness, compatibility with initial lubricants, corrosion protection, load-bearing capacity, ability to creep, high viscosity, temperature stability, water repellence, and media resistance.

Lubrication Techniques: Various methods include manual lubrication with brushes or sprays, drip lubrication for medium speeds, and oil bath lubrication for fast-running drives. The VP6-Kombi superplus spray is highlighted for its high performance and temperature resilience.

Recommendations: Chains should be cleaned before lubrication to ensure penetration. Connecting elements need greasing upon installation. Lubricants must reach the bearing area effectively.

Maintenance: Regular inspections should focus on wear, tension, and lubrication conditions. Chains should be replaced when stretching exceeds specified limits (1-3% depending on application). Proper tensioning is crucial for chain longevity.

Chain Selection Guidelines: Different environments and loads require specific chain types, such as corrosion-resistant or maintenance-free chains. The document provides a decision tree for selecting the appropriate chain type based on application conditions.

Chain Fabrication and Customization: Chains are available in standard lengths, with options for custom lengths and special coatings. Custom chains can be made to order with a minimum quantity requirement.

Chain Drive Questionnaire: A detailed questionnaire helps specify the requirements for chain drives, including power output, operating conditions, and environmental factors.

Contact Information: The document provides contact details for iwis subsidiaries worldwide, offering support and sales services.
