Replacement cycle of lubricating oil for gear reducer
The cycle of replacing lubricating oil of gear reducer is affected by many factors, which are generally divided into the following situations:
- After initial operation：
- The new gear reducer should be changed for the first time after the initial operation of 200-300 hours. At this time, it is mainly to remove the impurities and dirt remaining in the manufacturing and installation process of the reducer to ensure the normal operation of the reducer.
- regular runtime：
- If the gear reducer works continuously for more than 10 hours a day, it is recommended to replace the lubricating oil every 3 months1. Because long-term continuous operation will increase the temperature of the lubricating oil, accelerate its oxidation and deterioration, and the wear of the gear will also produce more metal debris mixed into the oil, affecting the lubrication effect.
- If you work no more than 10 hours a day, you can change the lubricating oil every 6 months.1. Relatively speaking, the aging speed of lubricating oil under this work intensity will be slower, but it also needs to be replaced regularly to ensure the performance of the reducer.
- Special working environment：
- In the high temperature, high humidity, dusty, corrosive gases and other harsh working environment, lubricating oil is more vulnerable to pollution and deterioration, so the oil change cycle should be appropriately shortened, may need to be cleaned every 3-6 months and oil change 24.
- If the load of the reducer is large, or frequent operations such as starting and stopping, forward and reverse, etc., it will also accelerate the deterioration of the lubricating oil and the wear of the gear, and the oil change period should be shortened accordingly.
