Roller Chain Lubricant
Like bearings need grease, roller chains need lubricant. At USA Roller Chain we have the largest selection of roller chain oil lubricants and lubrication systems. Ranging from food-grade, high-temp, low-temp, and even dry we're sure to have the roller chain lubricant for your application. Proper roller chain lubricating not only improves the life of the chain, but it also improves sprocket life and reduces noise and shock loads. Lubrication can increase the life and performance of any roller chain, regardless of chain grade/ quality level ann material. The lubricant types that we supply are specially formulated for industrial and manufacturing uses, and they are all proven performers in the industryRoller Chain Lubrication Placement
Proper placement of lubricant is essential for obtaining the optimal life out of your roller chain and lubricant.
- A - Apply roller chain lubricant between the roller and inner side-plate, this disperses the lube between the roller and bushing.
- B - Apply Apply roller chain lubricant between the inner and outer side-plates to lubricate the plates where they contact each other and the pin for an optimal pin on bushing contact.
Lube Free Roller Chain
in applications where proper lubrication is uneconomical or impractical, we also supply a lube-free roller chain that does not require additional lubrication.
Roller Chain Oiling Types
There are several standardized practices adopted by the power transmission industry for applying and or keeping roller chain lubrication on the chain. The below chart displays some of these practices and methods. Regardless of your specific method, we have the chain lube you need!
