We have introduced and briefly understood the position of planetary gearboxes in the gearbox family, and learned about the advantages and existing shortcomings behind planetary gearboxes. There are also market and technological reasons behind the current large market for planetary gearboxes. There are also faults and troubleshooting methods for planetary gearboxes during use.
So today, let's share some practical inspection tips for planetary gearboxes during use.
During the inspection, facing the stains and dark oil stains on the planetary gearbox made many people feel overwhelmed. In fact, there is a simple cleaning technique for inspecting planetary gearboxes. It can facilitate people's inspection while minimizing damage to the structure of the gearbox, affecting its use and lifespan. That is to clean with heated mineral oil.
Next is the inspection of gears and bearings. For these two key items, the key to inspection is the condition of both parts. For example, the position of the bearings. The bearing should maintain its stable position, and if any tightness or abnormal condition is found between the bearing and its surroundings during inspection, it should be replaced and repaired.
And the requirements for gears are also very high, not only checking whether the gears are broken. Also, check the condition of the gear to see if there are cracks and if there is any serious damage on the surface. These subtle details are crucial for the inspection of planetary gearboxes.
