What oil is used to lubricate the slurry pump?

What kind of oil is used to lubricate the slurry pump is one of the issues that customers are concerned about, and it is also a problem that needs to be understood during maintenance of the slurry pump. Slurry pump need to lubricate the place is the bearing rotor part, but different slurry pump lubricating oil is not the same, the current domestic slurry pump lubrication is mainly divided into: grease lubrication and oil lubrication two. It should be noted that no matter what kind of lubrication method, the lubricant needs to be replaced regularly.

 

What is Grease Lubrication

Grease lubrication is manually filled with grease in the casing to achieve lubrication. This method is mainly used for rolling bearings with a speed of no more than 3000 r/min and a temperature of no more than 115 ℃, friction pairs with a circumferential speed of less than 4.5 m/s, heavy-duty gears, worm gears, chains, wire ropes, etc.

Grease can reduce mechanical friction, prevent metal aging and prevent air leakage, oil leakage and water leakage, so as to ensure the normal operation of mechanical equipment.

Grease classification

  • According to the mechanical components to be lubricated: bearing grease, gear grease, chain grease, etc;
  • According to the industrial sector with grease: automotive grease, railway grease, steel grease, etc;
  • According to the use of temperature points: low temperature fat, ordinary fat and high temperature fat, etc;
  • According to the scope of application: multi-effect fat, special fat and general fat;
  • According to the thickener used, it is divided into sodium base grease, calcium base grease, aluminum base grease, composite calcium base grease, lithium base grease, composite aluminum base grease, composite barium base grease and composite lithium base grease, bentonite grease and silica gel grease, polyurea grease, etc;
  • According to the base oil: mineral grease and synthetic grease;
  • According to the bearing performance: extreme pressure grease and ordinary grease;

What is oil lubrication?

Lubricating oil is a liquid or semi-solid lubricant used in various types of automobiles and mechanical equipment to reduce friction and protect machinery and processed parts. It mainly plays the role of lubrication, auxiliary cooling, rust prevention, cleaning, sealing and buffering (Roab).

As long as it is applied between two relative motion objects, which can reduce the friction and wear caused by contact between the two objects, it is lubricating oil.

Lubricating oil and grease are collectively referred to as "lubricants. The so-called lubricant, in simple terms, is between two relative motion objects, with the function of reducing the friction between the two objects due to contact.

Lubricating oil is a technology-intensive product, which is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons, and its real performance is the combined effect of complex physical or chemical changes. The basic properties of lubricating oil include general physical and chemical properties, special physical and chemical properties and simulated bench test.

Each type of lubricating grease has its common general physical and chemical properties to indicate the intrinsic quality of the product.
