In several disciplines, planetary gearboxes are mechanical transmission mechanisms. The product categories involved in the industry comprise several types of gear reducers, planetary gearboxes and worm reducers, as well as several special transmission devices, such speed increase devices, speed regulating devices, and various composite transmission devices including flexible transmission devices. Metallurgy, nonferrous metals, coal, building materials, ships, water conservation, power, engineering machinery and petrochemical sectors constitute the product service areas.
How best to maintain and check the gearbox?
View the oil level.
Cut the electricity supply to stop electric shock! As the gearbox cools, remove the oil level plug to see whether the oil is full; then, install the oil level plug.
Careers
Inject fresh oil of the same brand; the volume of the oil should match the position of installation; While changing oil, the gearbox should remain warm; check the oil level at the oil level plug; tighten the oil level plug and breather; Install the drain plug after setting an oil pan under the drain plug; open the oil level plug, breaths and drain plug; drain all the oil.
Examining oil
Cut the electricity supply to stop electric shock! Wait for the reducer to cool; open the drain plug and collect an oil sample; examine the viscosity index of the oil; if the oil is obviously murky, it is advised to replace it as soon as possible.
Oil substitute
The viscosity of the oil rises with cooling and draining the oil becomes harder. The operational temperature should be the change for the reducer. Cut off the electricity to avoid electric shock! Till the reducer cools and there is no risk of burning!
For reducers having oil level plugs
See if the oil level qualifies; then, insert the oil level plug.
