Pin Chain Conveyor (Option) Lubrication
Introduction
Periodic lubrication and the use of the correct lubricant is essential for smooth
and continuous operation of the conveyor assembly.
Tools or Materials
Necessary
• TRIBOL 930 synthetic chain oil (for conveyor chains). Order the lubricant
from Speedline Electrovert. The part numbers are:
• 6–0568–003–01–0
• 6–0568–003–02–0
• 6–0568–003–03–0
• Krytox GPL 206 grease (for screw shafts). Order the grease from Speedline
Electrovert. The part number is:
• 2–9304–108–00–0
• High Temperature grease for all other lubrication points. Order the grease
from Electrovert. The part number is:
• 2–9304–066–00–0
Lubrication Information
Inspect the drive chain, drive sprockets and limit switches weekly to ensure solid
connections. Tighten any connections that appear loose.
Lubrication of the pin chain conveyor is required after 160 hours of operation for
most reflow operations.
Lubrication is required after 300 hours for curing applications that use much
lower temperatures than standard reflow profiles.
Use TRIBOL 930 synthetic oil to lubricate the conveyor pin chains. Apply the oil
to any rotating part that comes into contact with the chains.
TRIBOL chain oil is a non–solid film chain oil which leaves no gummy residue. The
semi–dry film of TRIBOL gives the chains a lustrous highly–polished look.
If the chain appears wet long after oiling, too much lubricant was applied. The
condition causes residue buildup on the chain, which is detrimental to
performance.
If the chain is under–oiled, it appears dull with a dry residue. The color changes
from bright polished blue–black to dull brownish–black.
It is possible to apply oil while processing boards, since the oil touches only the
chain and the chain tracks. If oil is applied while not processing boards, set the
conveyor to 76 cm / min (30 in. / min.)
