How to judge the wear degree of worm gear of WPKA175-15-A reducer 2025-10-10
Judging the degree of wear of the worm gear of the WPKA175-15-A reducer requires comprehensive visual inspection, operating status analysis and precise measurement. The specific methods are as follows: 1. Appearance inspectionTooth surface wear characteristicsIf scratches, grooves or accumulation of metal debris along the sliding direction appear on the tooth surface of the worm gear (copper alloy), the surface roughness will increase significantly, indicating the existence of uniform wear. If the tooth surface of the worm (steel) is partially polished or dented, material transfer may occur due to sliding friction. Gluing damage is manifested as metal adhesion, tearing or melted plaques on the tooth surface, which are dark brown in color. In severe cases, traces of 'bite welding' can be seen. Pitting Corrosion and CracksScattered pits (pitting corrosion) or fine cracks in the tooth root appear on the tooth surface, which require observation with a magnifying glass, indicating the risk of fatigue wear. 2. Operating status monitoring Abnormal noise and vibration The noise in the initial stage of wear changes from 'smooth sound' to 'rustling sound', and 'piercing screams' or periodic impact sounds appear during gluing. Vibration amplitude exceeds 0
