What Is a Worm-Gear Reducer?

Worm gear reducer can also be called worm gear reducer. Replacement of new spare parts during use must be officially used after running-in and load test.

1. The worm gear reducer must not be hammered by the gravity of the reducer casing to avoid damage; regularly check whether the installation foundation, seals, transmission shaft, etc. are normal. For normal use, the maximum temperature of the lubricant should be less than 85 ° C. When the oil temperature rises abnormally and produces abnormal noise, it must be shut down and checked immediately, and the fault can be continued before use.

2. For the first use or new replacement of the worm pair, change the lubricant after 150-400 hours of operation. During subsequent oil changes, the worm gear reducer cycle is less than or equal to 4000 hours. The oil injection volume must be in accordance with the requirements of the table. Mixing of oils of different brands is prohibited. Mixing of oils of the same brand but different viscosity is allowed.

3. Regularly check the quantity and quality of the oil, keep enough lubricant, and replace the oil mixed with impurities or deterioration in time. The working environment temperature of the reducer is -40 + 40 . When the ambient temperature is lower than 0 ° C, the lubricant must be heated above 0 ° C or a low freezing point lubricant should be used before starting.

Worm gear reducers are divided into two types: common cast iron worm gear reducers and aluminum alloy worm gear reducers.

1. Various installation forms can be adopted according to actual requirements, and all six sides can be installed.

2. The installation must be firm and reliable.

When a new reducer is used, it needs to be replaced with new oil after 300 hours of continuous rotation. After that, it needs to be replaced with oil every 2500 hours. However, the quality of the oil should be regularly checked during use. If the oil has impurities, it will deteriorate and deteriorate. Must be replaced at any time.
The reducer should use gear oil of fixed brand and number, and should not be mixed with different brands, numbers or different types of oil. During the oil change, the inside of the reducer should be cleaned first, and then new oil should be injected.
During use, if the oil temperature is too high (more than 80 ), and there are abnormal noises, etc., you should stop using it immediately and check the cause. Wait for troubleshooting or change the lubricant before continuing to use.
If it is extremely cold, such as below -10 , the influence of ambient temperature on the reducer must be considered when selecting the type. Configurations such as electric heaters can be considered. This is very important for the lubrication and maintenance of the worm reducer. Regularly observe the oil level movement Observe whether there is any abnormality such as noise and vibration.
Correct use of worm gear reducer can maximize its function.
