Chain Lubrication Systems

Chain lubrication systems are controlled delivery arrangements for moving chain pins, bushes and rollers. Brush, drip, spray or positive injection methods place oil or grease at the articulating joints, helping reduce wear and waste while keeping excess fluid away from nearby products or machine surfaces.

Questions about chain lubrication systems

What should I send to identify chain lubrication systems?

Send chain type and pitch, chain speed, lubricant specification, application method, environment and controls. Photograph the moving chain and available mounting area, and mark the pin or roller interface where lubricant must arrive. A clear photograph, drawing or readable reference can resolve details that dimensions alone do not show.

How should I select chain lubrication systems?

Choose delivery method and timing from chain geometry, speed, temperature, cleanliness, access and the exact joints needing lubricant. Confirm the mating parts and operating environment before ordering, since an apparently similar size can use a different profile, material or internal arrangement.
