Abstract

Selecting the appropriate lubricating grease, applying the right amount of lubrication, suitable intervals, and the correct lubrication points can significantly reduce equipment maintenance and spare parts costs, while enhance the reliability of equipment operation. A well-functioning automatic lubrication system for mining dump trucks can greatly minimize friction and wear, thus extending the lifespan of bearings and mechanical components. Through in-depth analysis of the principles of the MCC400A electric wheel automatic lubrication control system and combined with on-site troubleshooting processes, we have accumulated valuable maintenance experience. This experience holds great significance for maintenance personnel to master troubleshooting techniques for automatic lubrication control systems. By understanding the system principles and analyzing the root causes of issues, we can precisely locate and resolve faults. Additionally, by leveraging modern technology effectively, we can enhance system stability and reliability, further improving equipment operational efficiency. In conclusion, optimized lubrication practices and a thorough understanding of the system will contribute significantly to the sustainable operation of equipment and reduced maintenance costs.
