Lubrication

Any typos are as a result of direct translation from the original French.

Lubrication:

The purpose of it is to decrease to the maximum frictions of the parts moving.
Its action, by film of oil or grease, prevents the direct contact of the involved matters, which this translated by a reduction:
  • Losses of énergie(dues to frictions)

  • Wear
and of an increase in the mechanical output.


Tools necessary for lubrication:

The oilcan: in general is composed of a common base with four cups.

Spade-oils: are composed of stems of steel of different size, crushed and cut out of arrow at its end.
They are provided with a plastic handle.

The automatic huilor: with an oil tank is indicated for the stones with horological jewels.


Lubrication

Before any lubrication, there is cleaning.
It is carried out in a washing machine with clean baths.
The anchor will be nettoyera with benzine rectified to prevent that the pallets are not cleaned up.
The beam will remain on the cock, which will be screwed on the turntable, after having removed the antichocs beforehand.

The barrel is not put at the machine as well as the dial, the needles, the indicator of day of the month.

Roadway

 huilagechaussee.png (4 KB) To lubricate the roadway, one lubricates the cone of the tigeron wheel of center to two thirds his height.

Barrel

Lubrication of the barrel arbor with grease with the swivellings with the drum like with the turntable and the bridge.

Wheels

To fill the oilcans with half, the maximum to the 2/3.

It is preferable to oil the disarmed movement, which makes it possible oil to form around the pivots of the regular drops.

The pivots of the stem of anchor are not oiled.




Stones with plates horological jewel

a) To put the lubricant in the oilcan

b) With a very fine steel point, to make run oil on the plate horological jewel.




The incabloc ®

a) Déverouiller the quadrant then to reverse the part, the two stones will fall, the mettres in a small basket for cleaning.

After cleaning, to oil the stones like this:

 incabloc3.png (4 KB) b) With an spade-oil to deposit an oil drop on the horological jewel.


c) To turn over the kitten on the horological jewel, to give the whole in the shock-proof one and to close again the quadrant.  incabloc4.png (6 KB)

The exhaust

 huilagepalette.png (3 KB) To oil the exhaust, to deposit an oil drop on the pallet of exit, to make pass five teeth of the wheel of exhaust, to start again until the wheel did a full rotation.


One does not oil on the pallet of entry, because the first tooth carries more oil that the following ones and as it passes close to the body of the anchor, where is driven out or screwed the stem of anchor, it is likely to deposit some on the anchor and to extend to the pivot.
