In robotic systems, the stability of connectors directly affects the operational accuracy and service life of the entire machine. Taking the robot arm as an example, rubber bushings, as key buffer components, play the roles of shock absorption, noise reduction, preventing direct metal contact wear, and enhancing connection stability. However, under long-term high-frequency movement and load, problems such as bushing wear, abnormal noise, and even jamming are not uncommon.
At this time, the selection and application of lubricating grease become particularly crucial. Only when rubber bushings are properly matched with suitable lubricating grease can their structural advantages be truly exerted, ensuring the long-term stable operation of connectors.
Firstly, lubricating grease can significantly reduce friction. By forming a stable lubricating film on metal contact surfaces, it reduces dry friction between bushings and metals, slows down wear rate, and thereby extends the service life of rubber bushings and the entire connector.
Secondly, lubrication also plays a protective role. Grease can effectively isolate moisture, dust, and corrosive media, forming a protective layer on metal components. It is especially suitable for industrial environments that are humid, dusty, or have chemical corrosion risks, avoiding reduced connection accuracy caused by rust.
Under high-load and high-speed operating conditions, lubricating grease also has a certain heat dissipation and temperature control capacity. By reducing frictional heat generation, it helps connectors maintain a stable operating temperature, preventing rubber from aging and hardening due to local overheating, which would affect buffer performance.
As the application scenarios of robots continue to expand, the requirements for the reliability of connecting components are also constantly increasing.
