The new speed reducer has 200hours’ run-in period, which is ruled by the technical feature in the initial stage. Run-in period is an important part in guaranteeing the normal operation of speed reducer, reducing failure rate and extending its working life. Firstly we should be familiar with the period. 1. The components (especially the surface of matching parts) are easily worn and the rate of wear is extremely high. If gear reducer is operated overload at the same, it may cause the broken of components, and early failure. 2. Because the gaps of new equipments’ parts are small, and the reason of assemble, the lubricating oil is not to form well-distributed oil slick on the surface of frication. And it will lower the capacity of lubrication causing the unusual wearing. 3. Because of little knowing of the structure and capacity of speed reducer (especially for the new operator), it is easy to cause fault in the process of operation, even cause the mechanical accident and safety accident.
Specific usage and maintenance
1.Special speed reducer, operators should be trained and guided by manufactures, and should be fully familiar with speed reducer’s structure and capacity to get some operating and maintenance experience. The operating instruction manual offered by manufactures is the necessary information for operators to operate the equipments.
2. Pay attention to the workload of the run-in period which cannot exceed 85% of specified workload, and appropriate work should be arranged to prevent the phenomenon of superheat caused by continuous operation.
3. Observe gear speed reducers frequently, and get rid of abnormal operation in time.
4. Select the appropriate lubricating oil. The quality of hydraulic oil, cooling liquid and oil level should be checked in regular time.
5. At the end of run-in period, the machine should be maintained by force, and pay attention to examination and adjustment, and change the oil and liquid regularly. Conclusion
In one word, we can conclude the maintain requirements of speed reducer into the following parts: strengthen training, alleviate burden, focus on inspection, and intensify lubricating. As long as you emphasize and exert the maintenance and protection as the requirements, the early failure can be reduced, working life can be lengthen and production efficiency can be improved, then the speed reducer will bring more benefits for you and create more profits for your enterprises.
