The quality of Grease Hose installation directly affects the lubrication performance and operational stability of equipment. Be wary of the following common mistakes.
First, improper pipe routing. Some installers, for convenience, create excessive sharp bends or twists in the pipe. This increases resistance to lubricating oil flow, resulting in poor oil supply. It can also cause pipe rupture and leakage due to uneven stress over time. During installation, adhere to the principles of the shortest path, few bends, and smooth transitions.
Second, loose joints. If joints are not tightened or seals are not properly installed, lubricating oil leaks can occur, wasting oil, polluting the surrounding environment, and even causing equipment failure. During installation, tighten joints strictly to the specified torque and check that seals are intact and correctly installed.
Third, failure to consider temperature effects. In high-temperature environments, failure to allow for expansion of the Grease Hose can cause the pipe to stretch and deform due to thermal expansion, or rub against other components. In low-temperature environments, failure to use cold-resistant Hose can cause it to harden and crack, leading to damage. Before installation, fully assess the ambient temperature and select the appropriate Hose type, allowing for expansion.
