Correct maintenance of rotary drilling rigs and their track is crucial, with the key being to maintain the appropriate tension. Both excessive and insufficient tension can lead to problems, so regular checks and adjustments are necessary.
- Tension Adjustment: Regularly inspect the tension of the track chains. Excessive tension can cause abnormal wear on the track shoe assy, bottom roller, and idler, reducing transmission efficiency and wasting power. Insufficient tension can result in the tracks coming off the sprocket, causing unstable operation and additional wear.
- Grease Lubrication: When adjusting tension, ensure to inject an appropriate amount of grease into the tension cylinder. Grease helps reduce friction and wear, extending the service life of the tracks and related components.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check the wear of the track shoe assy, bottom roller, and idler. If abnormal wear or severe wear is detected, promptly replace the damaged parts to prevent further damage.
- Adjustment Standards: Refer to the standard clearances for each machine model when adjusting the tension of the track shoes, ensuring adjustments are made within the appropriate range.
- Promptly Address Abnormalities: If track shoe pitch elongation or abnormal wear on the engagement surfaces of the sprocket and track chain are observed, take prompt action to repair or replace the damaged components to prevent further deterioration.
By implementing these maintenance measures, the small rotary drilling rig and tracks can be kept in good condition, extending the equipment’s service life and ensuring safe and efficient operation.
Note: When performing maintenance, always follow the guidelines and safety precautions provided by the manufacturer.
