The Common problems and Solutions of Worm Gear

    Worm Gear is a power transmission mechanism , the use of gear speed converter, the motor ( motor ) of the number of revolutions slow down to the desired rotational speed, torque and get a larger organization . In currently used for power transmission and motion mechanism, reducer wide range of applications .
   Use and Maintenance
   1.Do not install the gear output components , pressure tank , when you meet the mechanical coupling and reducer concentricity between the corresponding requirements and verticality .
   2.The initial gear to 400 hours should be re- run oil change , oil change intervals thereafter about 4000 hours.
   3.Gear box body should retain sufficient amount of lubricant , and regularly checked.
   4.To keep the gear clean appearance , timely removal of dust, dirt facilitate cooling.
   Common problems and their causes.
   1.Fever reducer and oil spills,
   2.Worm gear wear,
   3.The transmission of small helical gear wear,
   4.Bearings ( worm at ) damage.
   Fever and oil spills
   In order to improve the efficiency of worm reducer , worm gear are generally used to make non-ferrous metals , the use of hard steel to do the worm , as it is sliding friction drive, during operation , it will have a higher heat , so that the parts and seals reducer the difference between the thermal expansion , resulting in a gap with the surface , and the fluid temperature as thinning , likely to cause leakage. There are four main reasons , first, whether a reasonable mix of materials , and second friction engagement surface quality , three is the lubricant of choice , add the amount is correct, four assembly quality and the environment.
    Worm generally use tin bronze , worm materials are generally paired with 45 steel hardened to HRC45 -55 , is also commonly used 40C: hardened HRC50 -55 , the worm grinder grinding to finish RaO. 8 fcm, reducer normal operation, the worm is like a hardened " rasp " , kept cutting and filing worm , the worm wheel blemishes. In general, this wear is slow , like the factory gear unit can be used some more than 10 years . If you wear faster , we must consider the gearhead selection is correct, whether there is overload operation , worm material, assembly quality or environmental reasons .
   Helical gear wear
   Generally occurs in the vertical installation of the gear unit , mainly with the added amount of lubricant and lubricant selection. Vertical installation , it is less likely to cause lubricating oil , gear when stopped, the motor and gear reducer between the oil drain, lack of proper lubrication protection gear , start or operation process is not effectively lubrication cause mechanical wear or damage.
  Bearing damage
  Gear failure, even if well sealed gear box , the plant is often found inside the gear reducer oil has been emulsified , bearings are rust, corrosion , damage , this is because the process stopped in transit gear , the gear oil from the after the thermal cooling cause condensation water produced ; course , and also bearing quality , the assembly process methods are closely related.

Spur Gears

  Workaround
  1.Ensure the quality of assembly . Some can be purchased or homemade special tools, gear parts removal and installation , try to avoid tapping with a hammer and other tools ; replacement gears , worm , try to use original parts and replaced in pairs ; assembly output shaft , pay attention tolerances ; want to use anti-adhesive or Hongdan oil to protect the hollow shaft , with the area to prevent rust or wear debris, repair difficult removal.
  2.Selection of lubricants and additives . Worm gear reducer 220 # gear oil is generally used for heavy-duty , frequent starting , poor use of the environment reducer, can use some lubricant additives, gear oil stopped running gear is still attached to the gear surface to form a protective film to prevent heavy load , low speed, high torque and starts direct contact between the metal . Additives containing modifiers and anti- leak seal agent, the seals remain soft and flexible , reduce oil leakage .
  3.Gearhead choice of installation location . Location permitting , try not to use vertical installation . Vertical installation, the amount of oil added a lot more than the horizontally mounted , easy to cause fever reducer and oil spills .
  4.Establish lubrication maintenance system . According to the lubrication " Five of" principles reducer for maintenance , so that each person has a responsibility gear regularly checked and found that the temperature rise significantly , over 40 ℃ or oil temperature exceeds 80 ℃, decline in the quality of oil or oil found more copper and produce abnormal noise and other phenomena , they should immediately stop using , timely maintenance , troubleshooting, replacement of oil . Come on , pay attention to fuel, to ensure correct lubrication of gear .
