LubriLink is a cavity in chain tie straps that acts like an oil reservoir.
LubriLink has been added to OREGON® .404”, 3/8”, 3/8” consumer and
.325 cutting chains.
BENEFITS
Lubricant that would normally be thrown off the chain by high centrifugal
force is captured and held in the LubriLink reservoir.
Oil is held available to flow freely into chain parts when the
cutting chain slows or stops. This additional positive lubrication
increases chain and bar life.
LubriLink strengthens the chain tie straps by reducing their tendency
to flex during operation. It makes the chain more stable and less
susceptible to premature failure.
Tests show that oil remains on the chain and in chain joints even
when the chain reaches the end of its service life.
LubriWell is just a simple hole. But it does several
things that are beneficial to the cutting system, the saw and the operator.
The LubriWell holes are placed in an area of minimum stress on drive
links. They lower the overall weight of the chain which reduces stress
on the engine and the operator. The most helpful thing LubriWell does
is to carry oil around the entire length of the bar (especially important
on bars equipped with sprocket noses) and to hold oil on the high friction
zone where the chain and bar groove walls make contact. Substantial
benefits both to the cutting system’s operation and to its lubrication
come through each simple LubriWell hole.
BENEFITS
Oil is carried around the entire length of the bar
Lubrication is improved around the bar’s tip - especially important
on sprocket nose bars.
Lubricant is held in the LubriWell holes reducing friction during
the start-up period - before the saw’s oiling system reaches its peak
function.
The chain’s overall weight is reduced; less power is required from
the saw’s engine and less effort is required from the operator.
