Common problems of reduction motors
11 Dec,2024
Reduction motors are now being used in more and more fields. In daily life, you may encounter abnormal situations with reduction motors. Let's take a look at the abnormalities that occur in daily life.
1. Common problems with gearbox motors:
①. The gearbox motor cannot be started when it is used for the first time
②. There is a knocking sound inside the gearbox motor
③. The output shaft does not rotate
④. The gearbox motor leaks oil
⑤. The gearbox motor has a broken shaft
2. Causes and solutions to the problem:
①. Due to low temperature or other reasons, the fluidity of the lubricating oil inside the reducer deteriorates, and the instantaneous current of the motor increases, causing the driver to overload protection. Just start it a few more times.
②. There are gear wear and iron cutting inside the gearbox motor. At this time, you need to disassemble the machine to clean or replace the internal gears.
③. The internal planetary frame is displaced, and the internal gear friction produces iron cutting. At this time, you need to replace the reducer.
3. The output end bearing is displaced, deformed or worn. At this time, you need to replace the disassembled machine and replace the bearing and check whether the internal gears are worn or cracked.
4. This situation is a common situation, mostly caused by excessive lubricating oil. When the excess grease is consumed, this situation will not occur.
5. If the reducer is overloaded for a long time, the output shaft will be partially broken due to fatigue. Operating according to the manufacturer's specified requirements can greatly reduce the occurrence of such accidents.
The output shaft is unevenly stressed, the radial load exceeds the rated range, or it works at the rated maximum force for a long time.
At this time, it is necessary to check whether the load exceeds the rated range. If so, it is necessary to replace the larger gearbox motor.
