What role does lubricating oil play in the lubrication system of forklift engines and act on those forklift parts?
(1) Lubrication function: the clean engine oil is continuously sent to the friction surface of the running parts of the engine to form a good lubrication film (the friction between liquids is used to replace the rolling or sliding friction between solids) for lubrication, to reduce the movement and wear of the parts.
(2) Cooling effect: due to the circulating flow of engine oil, part of the heat generated by friction can be removed and scattered to reduce the temperature of parts.
(3) Cleaning function: it can take away the metal scraps from friction, keep the friction surface of the machine clean and reduce friction.
(4) Sealing function: the oil layer between the piston and the cylinder wall can reduce the air leakage during the movement of the piston and increase the sealing between the piston and the cylinder wall.
Forklift lubricating oil plays a vital role in the protection and assistance of forklift parts, so it needs to be added appropriately according to the working conditions of the body in the process of forklift work.
