How to optimize the load curve of WPDA70-60-B worm gear reducer
Optimizing the load curve of WPDA70-60-B worm gear reducer, the core is to make the load distribution smoother, reduce peak load, and avoid damage to the equipment caused by impact loads. It needs to be approached from three dimensions: "working condition matching, transmission optimization, and operation and maintenance". The specific methods are as follows:1、 First, clarify the optimization objective of the load curve
The core of load curve optimization is to reduce the peak load caused by start stop impact, reduce load fluctuations during operation, and stabilize the load value at 70% -90% of the rated load of the reducer (the rated output torque of this model is about 140N · m, which needs to be adjusted according to actual working conditions), avoiding efficiency waste caused by long-term overload or low load.
2、 Optimization of matching between working conditions and transmission system
Adjust the load input method to reduce impact
If the load is of frequent start stop or intermittent impact type (such as mixer, crusher), install elastic couplings (such as plum blossom couplings, rubber elastic couplings) between the motor and reducer to buffer the torque impact during start stop and reduce peak load by 30% -50%.

To avoid instant full load startup, the frequency converter adopts a "soft start" mode to extend the startup time to 3-5 seconds, steadily increase the speed, and prevent the peak load from exceeding 1.5 times the rated load during startup.
Optimize load distribution to avoid local overload
If it is a multi device linkage scenario, check the coaxiality of the transmission link (measured with a dial gauge, deviation ≤ 0.02mm/m), avoid uneven load caused by installation deviation, and ensure that the load is evenly distributed on the tooth surface of the worm gear.
If there is periodic fluctuation in the load (such as reciprocating motion mechanism), an inertia flywheel can be installed at the output end to use inertia to buffer the peak load and make the load curve tend to be flat.
Match working condition parameters to avoid "big horse pulling small car"
Check if the actual load matches the rated parameters of the gearbox. If the actual load is consistently below 50% of the rated load, adjust the transmission ratio (taking into account the motor speed) to improve operating efficiency and reduce load fluctuations caused by ineffective losses.
If the actual load exceeds the rated load, it is necessary to reduce the load intensity or replace the gearbox with a larger size to avoid long-term overload causing the load curve to remain at its peak and accelerating the wear of the worm gear.
3、 Transmission components and lubrication optimization
Improve the meshing accuracy of worm gear and worm gear
Check the meshing clearance of the worm gear (measured by the lead pressure method, with a standard clearance of 0.15-0.3mm). If the clearance is too large, it can cause impact loads, while if it is too small, it can increase friction loads. If the clearance is abnormal, adjust the bearing end cap gasket to correct the center distance and ensure even meshing.
Regularly check the wear of the tooth surface. If defects such as pitting and bonding occur, promptly repair or replace the tooth surface or components to avoid increased load fluctuations caused by worsening wear
