I worked for Electrovert for 20 years and up till today the 1421 is still the oil of choice. The chain doesn't care who's oven it's running in but it does require regular lubrication.

I am wondering what other Conceptronic users are using to oil the chain, lubricate the lead screw, and the grease used on the chain drives. I have contacted Conceptronic, and they gave me recommendations, but I am having trouble contacting them. Than

Mike, I have been using a fully synthetic motor oil on the links of my chains of my Hella for 7 years now, and have had no problems. As long as you do not place the oil on the fingers, where it makes contact with the PCB, then you will have no probl

I noticed a message in the reflow oven chain lubrication thread that talked about 2460C. I assume this is the same problem, and that it was really intended to be 246degC. It isn't an overall problem, only a few postings seem affected. Only a few po

With oven temps rising due to Lead-Free Processing, I'm looking for some information on high temp Reflow Oven lubricants. I've found some info in the Fine SMTnet Archives on Chain Lubricants, (Mostly Synthetic Motor Oils), but I'm wondering what othe
