When do the bearings of the reducer need to be replaced?

HBReducer bearings are generally imported bearings, brands such as SKF, FAG, etc. These bearings have a long service life and can be used for a long time if they are properly maintained and regularly replaced with imported lubricants of the required quality. But the actual use of the reducer mine is very different, can not be generalised, in the mine harsh, maintenance is not in place at the scene, the reducer bearing damage is also sometimes occurring!

  1. It is forbidden to drive when there is no oil in the reducer! Due to the qualified lubricating oil, during the operation of the reducer, a very thin protective oil film will be formed at the contact position of the bearing and other rotating parts to prevent the dry friction of hard to hard and iron to iron. If it is operated without oil, it will damage the transmission components such as bearings, gears and gear shafts!
  2. When the reducer is running and the bearing position is abnormally high, consider stopping the machine to check whether the bearing is damaged. If it is damaged, it must be replaced immediately. It cannot be operated with disease, which may cause damage to other parts and cause greater losses.

  3. When the reducer is running and the bearing position makes noise (similar to the sound of gragra), consider stopping the machine to check whether the bearing is damaged. If it is damaged, it must be replaced immediately. In this case, you should also consider whether the noise is caused by the bearing, or it may be the sound of gear meshing. This situation is more complicated. It is recommended to consult the experts of HBReducer to help you make a joint judgment.

  4. The HBReducer’s gear reducer adopts qualified bearings such as SKF, FAG, etc., so it has a long service life. However, we recommend that after 7-8 years of normal operation, an overhaul should be performed to replace all the internal bearings of the reducer, and to adjust the gears at the same time. Wait for the transmission components to be inspected and overhauled. If your reducer needs this service, you can contact the experts of HBReducer, our email: info@hbreducer.com.
