Method for the metered lubrication of a chain drive, in particular a motorcycle chain drive

摘要

The chain to be lubricated has at least one chain wheel. The method for lubricating the chain uses an appts. for dispensing in pulses a lubricating fluid. This appts. includes a pulse dispensing system with a control device. The lubricating fluid is dispensed in the rotating direction of the chain wheel in front of it, and/or in the area where the chain is wound on the wheel. The number of rotations of the chain drive per second is measured and fed to a computer. This acts on the control unit for the pulse dispensing system. The computer releases the dispensing system at a predetermined number of rotations. The computer blocks the system when a value Fz calculated by the computer from the number of rotations of the chain wheel per second exceeds an upper threshold. The number of rotations per second is programmable and the threshold is selected such that the chain wheel operates without spin with respect to the dispensed lubricant.
