When is the best time to replace the bearings of the reducer?

If you pay attention to the maintenance and upkeep of the gearbox during use, you should know that bearing replacement is also a very important part. I hope everyone can replace its bearings according to the correct method. But how should we operate it? This question should also be something everyone wants to know.

When performing maintenance and upkeep on a gearbox, we all encounter the same problem, which is when does the bearing of the gearbox need to be replaced? The editor summarized the relevant knowledge, which is only for reference.

1. When there is no oil in the gearbox, it is prohibited to drive. Due to the qualified quality of lubricating oil, during the operation of the reducer, an extremely thin protective oil film will be formed at the contact points of rotating parts such as bearings, to prevent dry friction between hard and iron. If running without oil, it will damage the bearings, gears, gear shafts, and other transmission components.

2. When the reducer is running and the bearing position is abnormally high, it is necessary to consider stopping the machine to check whether the bearing is damaged. If there is any damage, it must be replaced immediately and cannot be rotated with faults to avoid causing damage to other components and causing greater losses.

3. When the reducer is running, the bearing position makes noise. It is necessary to stop the machine and check whether the bearing is damaged. If there is any damage, it must be replaced immediately. In this case, it is also necessary to consider whether the noise is caused by the bearing or the gear meshing.

4. It is recommended that after 7-8 years of normal operation, a major overhaul should be carried out to replace all bearings inside the gearbox, and at the same time, gear and other transmission components should be inspected and overhauled.

These are the key points in the process of replacing the gearbox bearings. It is recommended that everyone should have a special understanding and understanding of these parts in the future.
