The lubrication and sealing system of a worm gear reducer has a vital impact on its performance and life. The lubrication system mainly acts on the friction surfaces between the moving parts inside the reducer to reduce friction and wear, reduce energy consumption, improve transmission efficiency, and ensure the normal operation of the equipment. The sealing system mainly plays the role of preventing external impurities from entering, preventing oil leakage, maintaining lubricant stability, etc., ensuring the normal operation of the internal parts of the reducer and extending the service life of the equipment.
First of all, the impact of the lubrication system on the performance and life of the worm gear reducer is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Reduce friction and wear: Good lubrication can effectively reduce friction between components, reduce energy loss, and extend the service life of components.
Reduce noise and vibration: Proper lubrication can reduce the impact and vibration between components, reduce noise levels, and improve the stability and comfort of equipment operation.
Heat dissipation and cooling: Lubricating oil can play a role in heat dissipation and cooling, effectively reducing the temperature of the equipment during operation and preventing parts from being damaged due to high temperature.
Carrying pollutants: Lubricating oil will carry metal shavings, impurities and other pollutants. Timely replacement of lubricating oil can prevent these pollutants from causing damage to the equipment.
Secondly, the impact of the sealing system on the performance and life of the worm gear reducer mainly includes the following points:
Prevent external impurities from entering: An excellent sealing system can effectively prevent dust, water vapor, chemicals and other external impurities from entering the reducer, reducing wear and damage to parts.
Prevent oil leakage: A good sealing system can effectively prevent lubricant oil from leaking and maintain the stability and adequacy of the oil in the lubrication system.
Maintain lubrication effect: The good performance of the sealing system can ensure that the lubricating oil is not contaminated and diluted by external conditions during operation, maintain its lubrication performance, and improve the working efficiency and life of the reducer.
