LUBRICATION CONCEPT



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.
