What are the common causes of oil leakage in NGW122-8 reducer? 2026-08-19
1. There is a pressure difference between the inside and outside of the reducer. During the operation of the reducer, gear meshing friction and heat and the influence of ambient temperature will cause the temperature inside the machine to rise. Since the volume of the box remains unchanged, the internal pressure increases. If the ventilation holes are too small or blocked by dust or oil, the machine cannot equalize the pressure with the outside world, and lubricating oil will seep out from the gaps that are not tightly sealed under the pressure difference. 2. Unreasonable structural design or manufacturing process, box deformation and gaps: If the casting is not fully annealed or aged during manufacturing, the internal stress is not eliminated, and it is easy to deform and create gaps in subsequent use; in addition, if the inspection hole cover is too thin, it will easily deform after tightening the bolts, resulting in an uneven joint surface, which will cause leakage. Poor return flow: If there is no oil return groove designed on the box, the lubricating oil thrown by the gear to the shaft seal, end cover or joint surface cannot flow back to the oil pool, and will easily leak out under the action of pressure difference. Shaft seal defects: Early or poorly designed shaft seal construction (e.g. felt seal)
