The following table shows the general failure causes and troubleshooting methods for helical gear motors

 

Fault Possible Causes Treatment Methods
Reducer overheating

1.Overload

2.Insufficient/excessive lubricating oil

1.Check load, adjust to rated value or replace with higher-power reducer

2.Use oil as specified

Abnormal stable operation noise

1.Rotation/grinding noise (bearing damage)

2.Knocking noise (irregular meshing)

1.Check lubricating oil

2.Contact user service department

Abnormal unstable operation noise Oil contamination or insufficient oil volume Replace oil or add oil to rated volume
Breather oil leakage

1.Excessive oil volume

2.Incorrect breather installation

1. Correct oil level

2.Install breather properly

Oil leakage Seal damage Contact user service department
Output shaft not rotating when motor runs Reducer key connection damage Send for repair
