This module will cover chain issues such as chain stretch, sprocket wear, misalignment etc. We will look at how the correct choice of lubricant, and lubrication method, can improve the life and performance of both transmission chains and conveyor chains.
We will also consider some lubrication best practices for open gears and conclude this module with some information on airline lubricators.
