Lubrication and maintenance of ethyl silicone oil lubricants in elevators and escalators

Hits: 177 img

Ethyl silicone oil lubricants have certain application potential in the lubrication and maintenance of elevators and escalators, but the specific use effect still needs to be comprehensively evaluated according to the equipment type, operating environment and the performance of the lubricant. The following is a detailed analysis of the application of ethyl silicone oil lubricants in elevators and escalators:

 

1. Characteristics of ethyl silicone oil lubricants

Ethyl silicone oil lubricants have a series of excellent properties, such as excellent high and low temperature resistance, antioxidant properties, electrical insulation properties and chemical stability. These properties make ethyl silicone oil lubricants perform well in a variety of industrial applications.

 

2. Lubrication requirements for elevators and escalators

Elevators:

Elevator:

Each moving part of the elevator, such as the traction machine worm gear, motor bearings, car door opening and closing guide rails and wire ropes, needs to be lubricated regularly to reduce wear, reduce noise, prevent rust, and ensure the stable operation of the elevator.

The lubrication of the worm gear of the traction machine requires that the oil has good anti-friction properties, a small friction coefficient, additives suitable for the special requirements of the steel-copper friction pair, and good fluidity at low temperatures, and good oxidation stability and thermal stability at higher temperatures.

The lubrication of motor bearings and other bearings requires that the lubricant can provide an extremely thin high-strength oil film lubrication layer to ensure that the motor can be used for a long time under harsh conditions.

The lubrication of the wire rope is mainly used as a buffer between the wire rope and the pulley block and the drum to reduce wear.

The lubrication of the guide rail requires the lubricant to have good adhesion properties to prevent the lubricant from dripping from the vertical guide rail, and has low friction properties and certain extreme pressure properties.

Escalator:

The rollers, chains, bearings and other components of the escalator need to be lubricated regularly to reduce the wear and friction of the machine, and prevent the machine components from malfunctioning due to moisture or corrosion.

The lubrication of the reducer is crucial because the reducer is one of the core components of the escalator, responsible for reducing the motor speed and effectively transmitting power to the pedals. Lubricating oil plays a vital role in the normal operation of the reducer, including reducing friction, heat dissipation, corrosion protection and cleaning.

3. Application of ethyl silicone oil lubricants in elevators and escalators

Although ethyl silicone oil lubricants have many excellent properties, the specific application in elevators and escalators also needs to consider the following factors:

 

Compatibility with equipment materials: Ensure that ethyl silicone oil lubricants are compatible with the materials used in elevators and escalators (such as steel, copper, alloys, etc.) to avoid chemical reactions that cause equipment damage.

Lubrication performance: Evaluate the lubrication performance of ethyl silicone oil lubricants in elevators and escalators, including its friction reduction characteristics, friction coefficient, oxidation stability and thermal stability, etc., to ensure that it can meet the lubrication needs of the equipment.

Environmental adaptability: Consider the operating environment of elevators and escalators (such as temperature, humidity, etc.) to ensure that ethyl silicone oil lubricants can maintain stability and lubrication performance in these environments.

Maintenance cost: Evaluate the impact of using ethyl silicone oil lubricants on the maintenance cost of elevators and escalators, including the cost of lubricants, replacement cycles, and training of maintenance personnel.

IV. Maintenance recommendations

Regular inspection: Regularly check the lubrication system of elevators and escalators to ensure sufficient lubricants, and check the operating status of the equipment, and deal with problems in a timely manner.

Clean lubricated parts: Clean lubricated parts regularly to remove dirt and dust to ensure normal operation.

Appropriate lubrication: Apply lubricant in an appropriate amount according to the equipment manufacturer's recommendations to avoid excessive or insufficient lubricant causing equipment wear or failure.

Record maintenance history: Record the time, content, type and quantity of lubricant used for each maintenance, so as to track and analyze the operating status of the equipment later.

In summary, the application of ethyl silicone oil lubricant in elevators and escalators has certain potential, but the specific use still needs to be comprehensively evaluated according to the equipment type, operating environment and the performance of the lubricant. At the same time, regular lubrication and maintenance are also the key to ensure the stable operation of elevators and escalators.
