Rotary drilling rigs often operate in harsh construction environments. After a period of use, they require necessary maintenance and upkeep to maintain their good technical condition. The equipment's instruction manual usually provides detailed requirements for lubricating various parts and for replacing worn seals promptly. However, investigations into the actual use of rotary drilling rigs have revealed that some operators and maintenance personnel often neglect these requirements. Here are some common mistakes made when lubricating rotary drilling rigs:#auger with drill#
1. Does it need lubrication? Let me add a little oil!
Due to the differences in the working methods and conditions of various parts of the rotary drilling rig, there are strict requirements for the lubrication cycle, the amount of oil added each time, and the method of addition for each lubrication point. Operators and maintenance personnel must strictly follow these requirements and not simply add a little oil; this will not meet the lubrication requirements.
2. I've already added oil, is it still lacking lubrication?
The moving parts, working methods, and ambient temperatures of the rotary drilling rig all affect the requirements for lubricants. Different types and brands of lubricants should be added according to the requirements. Only by using lubricants containing necessary additives and possessing the required physicochemical properties can the equipment achieve good lubrication. Adding oil haphazardly without checking the correct brand will cause problems.#auger with drill#
3. Is adding more lubricating oil harmless?
The structural form and usage conditions of the moving parts of the rotary drilling rig determine the amount of oil needed. These are usually clearly specified and required in the equipment's instruction manual. Maintenance personnel should replenish lubricating oil according to the instruction manual, the equipment's oil level indicator or dipstick, and the sight glass. Adding excessive lubricating oil is harmful and not beneficial.
4. Adding lubricating oil makes it dry faster!
Strictly speaking, this is a misunderstanding. Only fuel directly participates in the work. Adding lubricating oil generally refers to adding lubricating oil between moving friction pairs to fill in uneven areas and maintain a certain thickness of lubricating oil film. This separates the two contacting surfaces of the friction pair, reducing frictional resistance and wear. It also cools the parts and provides a seal. These functions of adding oil indirectly support the work done by the fuel.#auger with drill#
