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. Northern Foundation will guide you through some common mistakes in lubricating rotary drilling rigs:#large auger#
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?#large auger#
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.
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 add lubricating oil in accordance with the instruction manual, the oil level gauge or dipstick on the equipment, and the sight glass. Adding too much lubricating oil will do more harm than good.#large auger#
