Worm gear reducers generally use non-ferrous tin bronze as the worm gear, and the worm uses harder steel, which can improve efficiency. Some of them are easy to wear during operation. What are the reasons for this? In fact, there are reasons for mechanical assembly, or improper use of lubricants.

01. Due to the special structure of worm gear and worm gear, the rotation direction of the worm gear is at right angles to the rotation direction of the worm gear that transmits power. When the two tooth surfaces are in meshing contact, they are almost completely caused by sliding contact. This kind of high sliding contact requires a high degree of matching of the contact surfaces. If the assembly is improperly or the fittings are not matched, it is easy to increase the friction of the contact surface and cause rapid wear.

02. Worm and worm gear reducer is easy to cause insufficient lubricating oil when the helical gear is installed vertically. When the worm gear is stopped, the transmission gear oil between the motor and the reducer will be lost, and the gear will not get what it should be Lubrication protection. When starting, the gears are not effectively lubricated, causing mechanical wear and even damage.

03. Worm gears and worms, bearing materials are easy to wear.

04. Maintenance and management of worm gear reducer. The lubricant is improperly selected or needs to be replaced.
