If everyone is willing to increase the service life of their gear reducer, not only should they pay attention to relevant matters throughout the application process, but also some usage instructions during the running in period are crucial.
If you haven't paid attention to this kind of content before, let's take a look at some actual regulations mentioned in the next draft.
When the gear reducer is delivered from the processing plant, there will be a running in period, usually 200 hours.
After time, be sure to remove and replace the oil.
The running in period can ensure the normal application of the gear reducer, which can reduce the accident rate and increase the service life. However, at present, many customers still lack basic knowledge in this field.
Some customers even feel that no matter what, the manufacturer has a warranty period, and if the equipment breaks down, the manufacturer bears the responsibility for maintenance. As a result, the gear reducer is under long-term load during the running in period, causing it to often become ineffective, which not only endangers all normal applications of the gear reducer.
Therefore, the application and maintenance of the gear reducer during the running in period should be given sufficient attention.
Characteristics of the running in period: 1. Fast wear rate due to the hazards caused by the assembly and adjustment of new gear reducer components, the total contact area of the mating surface is small, and the allowable torque is large.
During the operation period of the gear reducer, the convex and concave parts on the surface of the parts are tightly connected by friction, and the cutting metal material waste, as wear-resistant materials, participates in friction again, accelerating the wear of the mating surface.
Therefore, during the running in period, it is very easy to cause wear on parts (especially mating surfaces), and the wear rate is too fast.
At this point, if the load is applied, it may cause damage to the components and cause common early failures.
2. Poor lubrication is due to the small fitting gaps in newly assembled components, and due to assembly, lubricating grease (human fat) is not easy to produce a uniform floating oil on the friction surface to avoid wear.
Furthermore, it reduces the high efficiency of lubrication and causes abnormal wear and tear in the initial stage of the equipment.
In more severe cases, the friction surface of high-precision fitting will be scratched or bitten, causing common malfunctions.
It means that during the running in period of the gear reducer, there must be no carelessness in the relevant regulations. We hope that everyone can pay attention to this practical operation after reading it.
