Use and maintenance of reducer during running-in period

Reducer knowledge
After the reducer is shipped from the factory, it is generally stipulated that there is a running-in period of about 200 hours (the oil must be changed after the time is exceeded), which is defined by the technical characteristics of the initial use of the reduction gear. The running-in period is an important part of ensuring the normal operation of the reducer, reducing the failure rate and prolonging its service life. However, some users currently lack the common sense of using the reducer or because the allowable torque is not enough, or want to get the benefits as soon as possible, the small machine is used, and ignore the special technical requirements of the new machine running-in period.

Some users even think that the manufacturer has a warranty period anyway. If the machine is broken, the manufacturer is responsible for the maintenance. Therefore, the reducer is overloaded for a long time during the running-in period, which causes frequent failure of the reducer, which not only affects the normal use of the reducer. , shortens the life of the reducer. Therefore, the use and maintenance of the reducer running-in period should be given full attention.

First, the characteristics of the running-in period:

Fast wear rate

Due to the influence of the processing, assembly and commissioning of the new reducer parts, the contact area of ​​the mating surface is small, and the allowable torque is large. During the operation of the reducer, the concave and convex parts on the surface of the part are frictionally engaged with each other, and the ground metal scraps, as abrasives, continue to participate in the friction, which accelerates the wear of the mating surfaces of the parts. Therefore, it is easy to cause wear of parts (especially the matching surface) during the running-in period, and the wear speed is too fast. At this time, if it is overloaded, it may cause damage to components and cause early failure.

2. Poor lubrication

Due to the small fit clearance of the newly assembled components, and due to assembly and the like, the lubricating oil (fat) does not easily form a uniform oil film on the friction surface to prevent wear. Thereby reducing the lubrication efficiency, resulting in abnormal early wear of the machine. In severe cases, the friction surface of the precision fit may be scratched or bitten, resulting in failure.

3. Looseness occurs

In the newly processed and assembled parts, there are variations in the geometric shape and the matching size. In the initial stage of use, it is easy to make due to the alternating load such as impact and vibration, as well as the influence of heat and deformation, and excessive wear. The parts that were originally tightened were loose.

4. Leakage occurs

Due to the looseness of the parts, vibration and the influence of the heat of the reducer, the leakage surface of the reducer and the pipe joints may leak. Some defects such as casting are difficult to find during assembly and debugging, but due to vibration during operation, Impact, this defect is exposed, showing leakage (bleeding) oil. Therefore, leakage sometimes occurs during the running-in period.

5. More operational errors

Due to insufficient understanding of the structure and performance of the reducer (especially new operators), it is easy to cause malfunctions due to operational errors, and even cause mechanical accidents and safety accidents.

Second, the use and maintenance of the running-in period

1. Special reducer, the operator should receive the training and guidance of the manufacturer, fully understand the structure and performance of the reducer, and obtain certain operation and maintenance experience before operating the reducer. The product maintenance and repair manual provided by the manufacturer is the necessary information for the operator to operate the equipment. Before operating the reducer, be sure to read the maintenance instructions first, and operate and maintain according to the requirements of the manual. And long-term preservation of information for easy maintenance.

2. Pay attention to the working load during the running-in period. The working load during the running-in period should not exceed 85% of the rated working load, and the appropriate workload should be arranged to prevent the overheating caused by the continuous operation of the reducer for a long time.

3. Pay attention to frequent observations. If an abnormality occurs, stop it in time to eliminate it. If the cause is not found and the fault is not eliminated, stop the operation.

4. Reasonable selection of lubricating oil, especially for gearboxes with input power greater than 11 kW. Pay attention to the lubricating oil, hydraulic oil, coolant, oil level and quality, and check the tightness of the machine. During the inspection, it was found that the oil was too much, and the reason should be analyzed. At the same time, the lubrication of each lubrication point should be strengthened. It is recommended to add grease to the lubrication point every week during the running-in period (except for special requirements). When the vertical gear unit with oil pump is connected to the power supply, pay attention to the direction of rotation of the oil pump and turn it clockwise to the correct direction.

5. While keeping the reducer clean, adjust and tighten the loose parts in time to prevent the parts from being worn out or the parts being lost due to looseness.

6. At the end of the running-in period, the machine should be forcedly maintained, checked and adjusted, and the oil should be replaced.

In short, the requirements for the use of maintenance of the reducer during the running-in period can be summarized as: strengthening training, reducing load, paying attention to inspection, and strengthening lubrication. As long as the maintenance and maintenance of the reducer running-in period are emphasized and implemented as required, it will reduce the occurrence of early failures, prolong the service life, increase the production efficiency, and make the reducer bring you more benefits.
