Is it a problem if the oil pump chain is loose?
1 Answers
An excessively loose chain can cause skipping. More information about the oil pump chain is as follows: 1. Overview: The automobile engine chain (timing chain and oil pump chain) has a driving sprocket speed as high as 5-7kr/min, far exceeding the limit speed defined by the transmission power curve. In addition to high-speed characteristics, automobile engine chains (hereinafter referred to as automobile chains) are subjected to variable speed and variable load service conditions. Therefore, the failure mechanism and design theory of automobile chains have undergone fundamental changes, opening up a new frontier research field in mechanical design and mechanical transmission disciplines. Early fracture failure of parts and early wear failure of chains constitute key technologies in the industry. 2. Others: With the continuous development of high-speed chain transmission technology, timing chains and oil pump chains have been adopted by more and more new-generation automobile engines. Automobile engine chains have also achieved certain development.
