What causes gear damage to the SAF87-Y3.0KW-166-M2-180 degree reducer 2025-06-09
SAF87 - Y3.0KW - 166 The main reasons for gear damage in reducer are as follows: Overload: The equipment is subjected to loads exceeding the gear design carrying capacity of the reducer gear during operation, such as long-term high-load operation, sudden large-load impact, etc., which will aggravate the wear of the gear tooth surface, fatigue fracture or deformation. Lubrication problem: Lubricant oil pollution: tiny particles such as impurities, dust, metal chips are mixed into the lubricant. These particles enter the meshing part of the gear and will cause wear on the tooth surface like abrasives, and may also scratch the tooth surface. Oil shortage or poor oil quality: Failure to replenish lubricant in time leads to insufficient oil quantity, or poor quality, inappropriate viscosity, deterioration, etc., will prevent a good oil film from forming between the tooth surfaces, increase friction, and cause damage to the tooth surface. Water inlet into the oil: Water entering the lubricating oil will cause the lubricating performance of the oil to decrease, and may also cause rust and corrosion of the gears, which will affect the normal operation and life of the gears.
