dc.description.abstractThis thesis presents the design of a chain waxing system intended for applying solid film lubricants to bicycle chains. The work begins with a review of existing chain lubrication methods, highlighting the limitations of conventional wet and dry lubricants and the advantages of solid wax coatings. Solid film lubricants commonly used for bicycle maintenance are introduced, with emphasis on their friction-reducing properties, cleanliness, and durability. The structural characteristics, materials, and wear mechanisms of bicycle chains are then analyzed to determine the lubrication requirements and the critical contact zones. Based on these insights, a conceptual chain waxing system is developed, including a heating bath, chain-handling components, and a break-in mechanism designed to ensure uniform wax penetration. The design process incorporates practical constraints, ergonomics, and ease of maintenance. The thesis concludes that the proposed system provides a cleaner, more consistent, and more efficient lubrication method, and it offers a foundation for future optimization and prototype development.
