Reducer is a commonly used machine in our industrial production, but due to external or internal reasons, many problems may occur during the production process, such as burning out. This not only seriously affects the operation of the machine, but also leads to the machine being unusable. When a machine burns out, it means that the internal parts of the machine are inevitably damaged, greatly shortening the service life of the machine. So what are the ways to reduce or even prevent the gearbox from burning out? Today, let me take you to learn about it together.
1. Observe diligently and promptly shut down for inspection if any abnormalities are found
Observe whether there is vibration, noise, and abnormal odor in the gearbox motor. During the operation of electric motors, especially high-power motors, it is necessary to regularly check whether the anchor bolts, motor end caps, bearing covers, etc. are loose, and whether the grounding device is reliable. If the motor vibration intensifies, the noise increases, and there is an odor, it is necessary to stop the machine as soon as possible, identify the cause, and troubleshoot.
2. The cleanliness and hygiene of the gearbox are equally important
During the operation of the motor, if dust, water stains, and other debris enter its interior, it will form a short-circuit medium, which can damage the insulation layer of the wire, cause inter turn short circuits, increase the current, raise the temperature, and burn out the motor. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent dust, water stains, and other debris from entering the interior of the motor. At the same time, the exterior of the motor should be regularly cleaned to prevent dust and other debris from entering the heat dissipation ribs of the motor, ensuring good heat dissipation of the motor.
3. The control equipment of this machine needs regular inspection and maintenance to maintain normal operation
The technical condition of the motor control equipment plays a decisive role in the normal starting of the motor. Therefore, the control equipment of the reducer should be located in a dry, ventilated, and easy to operate position, and regularly dust should be removed. Regularly check the reliability of the contactor contacts, coil iron cores, and various wiring screws, as well as the flexibility of the mechanical parts, to maintain good technical condition and ensure the smooth operation of the motor without being burned out.
4. The working current of the reducer needs to be stable and must not be too high
Electric motors can operate under overload due to excessive load, low voltage, or mechanical jamming caused by being driven. Therefore, during the operation of the electric motor, it is important to regularly check whether the transmission device operates flexibly and reliably; Is the concentricity of the coupling standard; If any jamming phenomenon is found in the flexibility of gear transmission, the machine should be stopped immediately to eliminate the fault before running again.
5. Pay attention to the temperature changes of the gearbox during operation
Regularly check whether the motor bearings are overheated or lacking in oil. If the temperature rise near the bearings is found to be too high, the machine should be stopped immediately for inspection. Whether there are cracks, scratches or damages on the rolling elements and raceway surfaces of the bearing, whether the bearing clearance is too large and shaking, and whether the inner ring rotates on the shaft. If the above phenomenon occurs, it is necessary to update the bearings.
The above is all about reducing or even preventing the burnout of the gearbox. It should be noted that once the equipment is burnt out, it will shorten the service life of the machine and seriously threaten our physical and mental health. Therefore, we must regularly inspect, maintain, and care to reduce the occurrence of problems and ensure our normal production efficiency.
