How to lubricate the chuck properly?

In order to always ensure the good accuracy of lathe chucks even after long time use, lubrication becomes extra important. Incorrect or unsuitable lubrication will lead to improper function at low pressure, weakened clamping force, poor clamping accuracy, abnormal wear and jamming, so it is necessary to lubricate the chuck properly.

First, at least once a day, grease the molybdenum disulfide (black color), grease the chuck nozzle until the grease overflows the jaw surface or the chuck bore (bore protection sleeve and connection nut at), but if the chuck high rotation or a large amount of water-based cutting oil in the use of processing, more lubrication is required, according to the different circumstances to decide. Secondly, at the end of the operation, make sure to clean the chuck body and slide surface with air gun or similar tools. Then it is necessary to disassemble and clean the chuck at least every 6 months to keep the sliding surface of the jaws clean and lubricated to increase the life of the chuck. And use cutting oil with anti-rust effect to prevent rust inside the chuck to prevent the chuck from rusting and reducing the clamping force, which makes it impossible to clamp the workpiece.

With a suitable chuck will make CNC machine tools like a tiger, manufacturers in the selection must be based on the actual situation of their products tailored to choose, so that it can play a better role.
