How to maintain the double enveloping worm reducer?

Date: 2025-02-25

Since the double enveloping worm reducer was first introduced in Capital Steel Company in China in 1971, more and more double enveloping worm gear reducers have been used in various transmission machinery, including metallurgy, mining, lifting, chemical industry, construction pixels, shipbuilding and other industries.

SGR, one of the best worm gear manufacturer in China, has great advantages in the design, process, production, assembly and testing of toroidal enveloping worm reducers. The main reason is that SGR has its own gearbox factory and the powerful manufacturing ability.

The double enveloping worm gear reducers developed and produced by SGR have the advantages of wear resistance, high transmission efficiency and long service life.

So, how can customers maintain the double enveloping worm gear reducer during use? 

After long-term follow-up visits with cooperative customers,SGR has summarized the following maintenance points for double enveloping worm gear reducers.

(1) Regularly check the quality and oil level of the lubricating oil

 

The lubricating oil of the double enveloping worm gear 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 worm 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.

The gearbox manufacturer SGR also recommends proper lubricating oil to users when they purchase gearboxes from SGR.

(2) Clean the worm 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 reducer. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to cleaning the gears and bearings inside the reducer to prevent dust and dirt from entering.

In SGR factory, the workers always clean the double enveloping worm reducer components as well as the operation table to ensure the good quality of the reducers.

 

(3) Regularly check the gears and bearings of the double enveloping reducers

 

The gears and bearings of the double enveloping worm reducer are its key components, and their wear needs 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.

 

The gearbox manufacturer SGR suggests that you check the the gears and bearings of the double enveloping reducers once a year at least, if the gearboxes are in harsh environments (such as high temperature, high humidity, excessive dust, or corrosive gases),they may need to be inspected more frequently, for example once a quarter.

(4) Regularly check the sealing of the reducer

 The sealing of the double enveloping worm reducer plays an important role in preventing the leakage of lubricating oil and the ingress of dust. One of the main functions of the seal is to prevent the lubricating oil from leaking out of the double enveloping worm reducer. If the seal is damaged or aged, the lubricating oil may leak out, resulting in insufficient lubrication, which in turn causes wear and overheating of key components such as gears and bearings.

The sealing of the reducer should be checked regularly, and if leakage or other problems occur, they should be dealt with in time.

(5) Regularly check the coupling and transmission belt of the reducer

The coupling and transmission belt of the double enveloping worm reducer are also key components. They need to be checked regularly for wear and tear to ensure they are in good condition. If the coupling and transmission belt are found to be worn or damaged, they should be replaced in time.

The maintenance of the double enveloping worm reducers is essential to ensure the normal operation of the equipment and extend its service life. As a planetary gearbox manufacturer that specializes in the production of worm reducers , SGR  has established a complete after-sales service system. During the warranty period, it will replace the damaged parts caused by non-human factors for free. Beyond the warranty period, customers can also purchase severely worn or damaged parts for replacement.(Author: SGR, Angie Zhang)
