What should we pay attention to when using circular arc gear reducer

In order to improve the operation efficiency, the worm gears of arc gear reducer are made of non-ferrous metals, and the worm gears are mostly made of hard steel. Therefore, in the running process of sliding friction transmission, the worm gear reducer will generate more heat and increase the temperature of the reducer. High temperature will lead to the difference in coordination of various parts in the reducer due to the different thermal expansion coefficients, resulting in the clearance of the mating surface. The lubricants and other oils used in the reducer will also dilute or deteriorate under the action of high temperature, resulting in leakage or lubrication failure. The way to prevent the temperature rise of worm gear reducer is to rationally match the material of worm wheel and worm, to avoid excessive friction, and to note at the same time. Another direct way to reduce the temperature of the reducer is to install a cooling device or to reduce the temperature of the working environment.



Worm wheel wear of circular arc gear reducer The worm wheel of worm reducer generally uses tin bronze as the main material, while the worm adopts hard steel. The worm wheel and worm continuously produce friction during the operation of the reducer. The worm wheel with softer material will wear because of the action of the worm. Worm wheel and worm reducer wear slowly and will not generally reduce the service life of the reducer, if so. If the wear rate is fast, the selection, operation, material matching and lubrication of the worm gear and worm reducer of the reducer should be considered.
