Analysis of 4 types of fault phenomena of worm gear reducer 2026-06-26
1. The role of worm gear reducer: The application of worm gear reducer in traditional mechanical systems mainly has the following functions: First, the rotary reducer can increase the output torque of the system after deceleration, and the torque output is in a certain proportion to the output deceleration of the motor or hydraulic motor. It should be noted that the torque output cannot exceed the rated torque of the reducer. Secondly, deceleration can effectively reduce the inertia of the load, and the reduction in inertia is the square of the reduction ratio. Finally, the reducer can change the output direction of the torque, so that the output torque and the input torque are distributed vertically. 2. Common faults and solutions of worm gear reducers Reducer heating and oil leakage faults: Most rotary reducer worm gears use tooth surface quenching or steel with higher hardness as raw materials. This is to improve the operating efficiency and wear resistance of the reducer. However, since the transmission method of the rotary reducer is friction transmission, a large amount of friction will be generated during operation.
