Hard tooth surface reducer vs soft tooth surface reducer: how to set the lubrication cycle 2026-09-13
The hard-toothed surface reducer has strong load-bearing capacity and high gear processing accuracy. The lubricating oil state directly affects the service life of the gear. The lubrication control standards are more stringent and the oil-change period is shorter. The soft-toothed surface reducer has a relatively lower load-bearing load, higher gear tolerance, better lubrication fault tolerance, and the oil-change period can be extended appropriately. Lubrication and oil change cycle of soft tooth surface reducer (representative models: ZQ, ZL, ZS and other traditional series). The first oil change of the new machine must be completed after the trial operation of the new machine reaches 500 to 700 hours. The first oil change needs to be completed. Oil change under normal operating conditions. Continuous operating conditions: Change lubricating oil every 6 months, or every 2500 to 3000 hours of operation. Intermittent operating conditions: Complete oil change once every 12 months at most. In harsh environments (dusty, humid, high-temperature environments), the oil change cycle is directly halved. Lubrication and oil change intervals of hard tooth surface reducer (representative models: DB/DC, DF, S, K, F, R, B3SH, H/
