How to use a speed reducer and related techniques:
1. The first oil change should be performed after 200-300 hours of operation. During subsequent use, the oil quality should be checked regularly, and any oil contaminated with impurities or deteriorated must be replaced immediately. Generally, for reducers that operate continuously for extended periods, the oil should be changed every 5000 hours or annually. Reducers that have been out of service for a long time should also have their oil changed before restarting. The reducer should be filled with the same brand of oil as before; mixing with oils of different brands is prohibited. Oils of the same brand but different viscosities may be mixed.
2. When changing the oil, wait until the reducer has cooled down to a point where there is no risk of combustion, but it should still be kept warm. This is because once completely cooled, the oil viscosity increases, making draining difficult. Note: Disconnect the power supply to the transmission device to prevent accidental power failure.
3. During operation, if the oil temperature rises above 80℃ or the oil sump temperature exceeds 100℃, or if abnormal noise is observed, operation should be stopped, the cause investigated, the fault rectified, and the lubricating oil replaced before resuming operation.
4. Users should have reasonable rules and regulations for use and maintenance, and should keep careful records of the operation of the reducer and the problems found during inspection. The above regulations should be strictly followed.
