1. Ensure the quality of assembly by using specialized tools when disassembling and reassembling the reducer components. Avoid using hammers or other hard tools that may cause damage. When replacing gears or worm gears, it's best to use original parts and replace them in pairs for better performance and longevity. When assembling the output shaft, pay close attention to the fit tolerance. Apply a release agent or red lead oil to protect the hollow shaft from wear, rust, and scale buildup, which can make future maintenance more difficult.
2. Choose the right lubricating oil and additives. Most helical gear-worm gear reducers require 220# gear oil. For heavy-duty applications, frequent starts, or poorly maintained units, consider adding lubricant additives to improve performance. These additives help the oil stick to the gear surfaces, forming a protective layer that prevents metal-to-metal contact during startup under high load, low speed, and high torque conditions. The additives also contain seal conditioners and leak preventers, keeping seals soft and elastic to reduce oil leakage.
3. If possible, avoid vertical installation of the reducer. Vertical mounting requires more lubricating oil than horizontal installation, which can lead to overheating and oil leakage. Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines on oil levels and installation orientation.
4. Implement a regular lubrication maintenance system. Follow the "five-definite" principle of lubrication management—definite points, definite times, definite quantities, definite quality, and definite personnel. Assign a responsible person to check each reducer regularly. If you notice excessive temperature rise (over 40°C) or oil temperature exceeding 80°C, take immediate action. If the oil quality deteriorates, you find copper particles in the oil, or hear unusual noises, stop the unit and perform repairs as soon as possible. Always ensure proper oil levels to maintain effective lubrication.
5. Modern maintenance techniques are now available for addressing wear and leaks in reducers. Traditional methods like welding or brush plating have limitations. Welding can introduce thermal stress, leading to warping or breaking of parts. Brush plating has coating thickness limitations and is prone to peeling. Both methods involve repairing metal with metal, which doesn't resolve the issue of "hard-to-hard" coordination, often resulting in repeated wear. Newer solutions, such as advanced coatings or non-metallic repair materials, offer better long-term results and reduce the risk of future damage.
