The gears in the gearbox play a significant role during use, but there may be serious wear and tear during subsequent use. So, let's analyze the reasons for gear wear.
1. Generally, some friction is inevitable when gears are used normally, so it is normal for some normal friction to occur during use. However, sometimes excessive friction can cause more serious damage to the gears.
2. Especially when some gears experience poor lubrication during use, severe friction may occur between the gears due to the lack of lubricating oil.
3. During the operation of the equipment, there may be some impurities mixed into the gears, which can cause serious damage to the gears. Therefore, we need to regularly clean the gearbox when using it.
4. Due to operational errors during maintenance, excessive oxygen and other substances may seep into the dimensions, generating oxides over time and causing severe wear on the gears, especially those that are not frequently used.
5. Some gears are made of materials that are not very good, so their hardness and toughness may be slightly lower during use, and strain damage may occur due to excessive load.
The above analysis is about the reasons why the gears of the reducer may cause wear, because gears play a very important role in the operation of equipment, so we also require regular inspections when using them.
