This tool calculates the optimal lubrication interval for industrial chains based on actual operating conditions (moisture, contamination, load, speed, and oil type), and estimates monthly oil consumption for three common lubrication methods (manual, drip, and forced/pump).
۱ Lubrication Method
Select the method used to apply oil to the chain
۲ Environmental & Mechanical Conditions
۳ Chain Load
Maximum allowable load per manufacturer catalog
Actual load applied to the chain during operation
۴ Chain Speed & Temperature
Linear speed of the chain
Chain temperature during operation, not ambient temperature — for information only, not included in the final calculation formula
