How To Clean And Maintain The Chain Of A Ride-on Or Walk-behind Vibratory Road Roller

The ride-on or walk-behind vibrating roller is composed of multiple parts, each part has its own function. when each component is well maintained,  it works efficiently. So how to maintain the chain of the vibrating roller compactor?


 

1. The large ring gear and the driving wheel are fixed by bolts, which need to be inspected and tightened once a week. The driving chain is also used as the final transmission part of the vibration roller. Its transmission load is very large, and it is subjected to the impact force of driving and braking, so it needs to be carefully maintained.

2. The sleeve roller chain will elongate when it is working. This is caused by the gap between the sleeve and the roller caused by the wear, so it should be filled into the gap between the chain plates with thinner lubricating oil. On the slack side of the chain, so that the oil can enter the gap between the chain plates, and then wipe off the excess oil with cotton yarn. Do not use high-viscosity oil to lubricate the chain, which will damage the chain and the chain due to the adhesion of sand and dust. sprockets.


 

3. If the chain is seriously stained, it should be removed and cleaned with gasoline, soaked in lubricating oil for half an hour, then pulled out to wipe off excess oil and continue to be loaded into the vibratory roller for use. Under normal circumstances, it is normal for the chain to elongate by 1/50 during operation. If the elongation is excessive, the number of meshing teeth of the sprocket will be reduced, resulting in noise and damage to the chain. The sagging value L of the loose edge can be used to reflect the elongation of the chain. The L value is generally set at 2~4% of the center distance between the two sprockets. When the sag is excessive, the sprocket cover should be removed and adjusted with a tensioning device. The open side drive gear and chain of the drum can be lubricated with No. 3 open gear oil.


 

For the drum chain, it is necessary to do a good job of cleaning and maintenance, improve the working performance of the drum in the correct way, and prolong the service life of the vibration roller.
