How to maintain the gear reducer during use?

Update:09-07-2021
Summary:...
A. Maintenance during use
1. The mounting shaft should be cleaned before use. And check whether the installation shaft has bruises and dirt, if any, all should be cleaned up.
2. The operating temperature of the reducer is 0-40 ℃.
3. Check whether the matching size of the hole (or shaft) connected with the reducer meets the requirements. The tolerance of the hole should be H7 (the tolerance of the shaft is H6).
4. Before use, replace the plug at the highest position with an exhaust screw plug to ensure that the gas in the body is discharged when the reducer is running.
B. Installation of helical planetary gearbox
1. The reducer can only be installed on a flat, shock-absorbing, and torsion-resistant support structure.
2. Under any circumstances, it is not allowed to use a hammer to knock the pulley, coupling, pinion or sprocket into the output shaft, as this will damage the bearing and shaft.
C. Use and maintenance
1. After the reducer is installed, check whether it is flexible. For formal use, no-load test must be carried out. Under normal operation, load and run step by step.
2. The reducer is strictly prohibited to exceed the rated load.
3. Check whether the oil level of the reducer is normal before use and during work.
D. Oil change system:
Change the oil for the first time The lubricating oil should be changed after the machine has been running for 300-400 hours, and the lubricating oil shall be changed every 1500-2000 hours. The lubricating oil should be checked every half a month in the working environment with harsh working environment, high temperature and heavy dust. If the lubricating oil is dirty, replace the lubricating oil to keep the lubricating oil clean and extend the service life of the reducer ,Improve economic efficiency.
E. Oil replacement
When changing the oil, wait for the reducer to cool down and there is no risk of burning, but it should still be kept warm, because after the complete cooling, the viscosity of the oil increases and it is difficult to drain the oil.
