Since the double enveloping worm gear reducer was first introduced in Capital Steel Group in China in 1971, more and more double enveloping gear reducers have been used in various transmission machinery, including metallurgy, mining, lifting, chemical industry, construction pixels, shipbuilding and other industries.
As an innovative gear reducer supplier, Shanghai SGR Heavy Industry Machinery Co.,Ltd. has great advantages in design, process, production, assembly and testing of double enveloping worm gear reducers. The double enveloping worm gear reducers developed and produced by SGR have the advantages of wear resistance, high transmission efficiency and long service life,etc.
So, how do customers maintain the double enveloping worm gear reducers during use?
After long-term follow-up visits with cooperative customers, SGR Heavy Industry Machinery Co.,Ltd. has summarized the following maintenance points for the double enveloping worm reducers.
（1）Regularly check the quality and oil level of the lubricating oil in the double enveloping worm gear reducers.
The lubricating oil in the double enveloping worm reducer needs to be replaced regularly, and the oil quality should be checked to ensure that the oil is free of impurities, moisture and oxides, so as not to affect the normal operation of the reducer. In addition, it is also necessary to check the oil level of the lubricating oil to ensure that the lubrication system is filled with sufficient oil.
SGR Heavy Industry Machinery Co.,Ltd. always recommend clients proper lubricating oil when they order the gear reducers productes.
(2) Clean the gear reducer surface and interior regularly.
The surface and interior of the double enveloping worm reducer should be cleaned regularly to ensure that there is no dust and debris on the body to prevent the normal operation of the gear reducer. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to cleaning the gears and bearings inside the gear reducer to prevent dust and dirt from entering.
You know that dirt, water, dust, and other types of debris can wreak havoc inside your gear reducers if they’re allowed to enter. Mineral and dust particles quickly wear out and damage gear teeth.
(3) Regularly check the gears and bearings of the double enveloping worm gear reducers.
The gears and bearings of the double enveloping worm reducer are its key components, and they need to be checked regularly to ensure that they are in good condition. If the gears and bearings are found to be worn or damaged, they should be replaced in time.
Bearing damage may indicate corrosion, contamination, electrical discharge or lack of lubrication. Bearing wear can cause excessive radial clearance or end play that
misaligns the gears.So the regular check is necessary.
(4) Regularly check the sealing of the double enveloping worm gear reducers.
Gear reducer seals help maintain the lubrication needed for smooth gear operation, reducing wear and tear on components.
The sealing of the double enveloping worm reducer plays an important role in preventing the leakage of lubricating oil and the ingress of dust. The sealing of the reducer should be checked regularly, and if leakage or other problems occur, they should be dealt with in time.
If sealing occurs, the leak can starve your gear reducer of the fluid it needs for cooling and lubrication. If a leak is allowed to persist, it can cause the transmission to run low on fluid. This can result in severe damage.
(5) Regularly check the coupling and transmission belt of the double enveloping worm gear reducers.
The coupling and drive belt of the double enveloping worm gear reducer are also its key components. They need to be checked regularly for wear and tear to ensure that they are in good condition. If the coupling and drive belt are found to be worn or damaged, they should be replaced in time.
Generally speaking, the maintenance of the double enveloping worm reducer is essential to ensure the normal operation of the equipment and extend its service life. Shanghai SGR Heavy Industry Machinery Co.,Ltd. has established a complete after-sales service system. During the warranty period, SGR will replace the damaged accessories caused by non-human factors for clients free of charge. beyond the warranty period, clients can also purchase severely worn or damaged accessories for replacement.（Author: SGR, Angie Zhang)
