Causes of oil leakage in Worm gearbox

During production and processing, we will use a lot of machinery and equipment.Many mechanical equipment will use a worm gear reducer to reduce the speed of the mechanical equipment. When the worm gear reducer is used for a certain period of time, some problems will occur, such as oil leakage. This is What caused it?Let us Zhejiang worm gear reducer manufacturers tell you why the worm gear reducer may leak oil.

Causes of oil leakage in Worm gearbox

In order to improve the efficiency of the worm gear reducer, non-ferrous metals are generally used as the worm wheel, and the worm is made of harder steel. Because it is a sliding friction transmission, it will generate higher heat during operation, which makes the parts and seals of the reducer There is a difference in thermal expansion between them, which creates a gap in each mating surface, and the oil becomes thinner due to the increase in temperature, which is easy to cause leakage.

There are four main reasons. One is whether the combination of materials is reasonable, the second is the surface quality of the meshing friction surface, the third is the choice of lubricating oil, whether the amount of addition is correct, and the fourth is the assembly quality and use environment.If the wear rate is relatively fast, consider whether the selection of the reducer is correct, whether there is overload operation, the material of the worm gear, the assembly quality or the use environment, etc.

Because the Worm gearbox will experience friction when it is in use, this phenomenon will cause serious wear and tear on the reducer over time, and may cause oil leakage.So when using it, pay attention to using lubricating oil in time to reduce friction.If you want to know anything about Band saw accessorie, worm gear box reducer, worm gear box, welcome to inquire our Zhejiang hydraulic cylinder manufacturer.
