Design and Application for Lifting Device Self-Lubrication System of Offshore Jackup Platform
At present,lifting devices with gear&racks are mostly used for the offshore jackup platforms under construction in domestic shipyards.Such platforms are partly equipped with self-lubrication systems.However,because of the design and improper selection problems,the self lubrication system would exist in name only and finally have to convert to manually-applied lubrication grease.This paper mainly introduces the working principle,design points and installation precautions for self-lubrication system of lifting device with gear and rack for offshore jackup platform.A complete,efficient and systematic lubrication technology solution scheme will be provided for the lifting device of such offshore platform during operation.
