How to choose lubricating grease for electric forklift?
The lubricating oil used by electric forklift includes hydraulic oil, gear oil and grease. Previously, we talked about hydraulic oil in detail when talking about the lubricating oil of electric forklift. Next, the electric forklift manufacturer will show you the lubricating grease of electric forklift. On electric forklifts, lubricating grease is mainly used for the drive system, drive system, steering system and other pin parts with relative movement, including calcium base grease, calcium sodium base grease, lithium base grease and industrial vaseline. We usually use calcium grease and lithium grease. So, specifically, which grease should we choose for electric forklift?
When selecting grease for electric forklift, the performance and consistency grade of grease should be considered. Commonly used consistency levels are 2 and 3. The higher the load, the higher the consistency grade of the required grease. If the use requirements are met, it is better to use low consistency grease, which can reduce power consumption. How to choose between calcium grease and lithium grease? Let's look at their advantages and disadvantages. Calcium base grease has water resistance, is easy to adhere to metal surface, is stable and applicable to the temperature range of - 10 ° C to - 65 ° C. Its disadvantage is that it has poor heat resistance and loses its consistency when it exceeds 100 ° C. The electric forklift is not applicable when it is loaded heavily and at high temperature. Lithium grease has good water resistance, good stability and is not easy to oxidize. It is applicable to the temperature range of - 60 ° C to 120 ° C. Its disadvantage is that the price is relatively high. Electric forklift manufacturer tells you that the application of calcium grease is becoming less and less, and the application of lithium grease is becoming more and more extensive.
There are some precautions when using electric forklift grease. We must add grease regularly and quantitatively according to the requirements of the manual of electric forklift. It should be noted that different brands of grease should not be mixed. During the use and storage of lubricating grease, it is necessary to keep it clean, avoid the invasion of foreign matters and moisture, and try to avoid the contact between lubricating grease and air. When replacing the grease, clean the bearing and keep it dry. The electric forklift manufacturer reminds everyone that do not use grease when the electric forklift is fully loaded, because as the temperature rises, it will affect the braking function and cause waste.
This is how to select the grease for electric forklift and the precautions when using the grease. Electric forklift manufacturer tells you that lubricating grease is indispensable for electric forklift. Using grease can improve work efficiency and avoid many unnecessary troubles. When using grease, please follow the requirements, otherwise it will backfire and have a negative impact.

New energy forklift power system controllerIn the electric forklift power unit, when the forward contactor is closed, the motor is in a forward rotation state; Whereas, when the reverse contactor is closed, the motor is reversed. By changing the direction of the armature current or excitation current, or by changing the polarity of the excitation winding, the commutation control of the motor is realized. However, the use of two sets of excitation windings with opposite windings will lead to a complex structure and an increase in the volume of the motor, so the first two methods are more commonly used in practicalDo you like ?0

Electric forklifts vs. internal combustion forkliftsHowever, there are also some drawbacks to internal combustion forklifts. First of all, diesel engines are more expensive to run, especially against the backdrop of the current surge in oil prices. Secondly, the internal combustion forklift is noisy and vibrate, and the operating noise of the diesel engine has an irreversible impact on the human body. In addition, the exhaust gas pollution is serious, even if the processor is installed, it will cause environmental pollution, and it is necessary to clean up the dust regularly, which is more cumbersome to maintain, and can easily lead to oil pollution problems on the site.Do you like ?0
