Gear breakage is a serious failure of the reducer. Once it occurs, it must be stopped immediately and replaced as soon as possible. It should not continue to run or set 'how long' to replace it. For gear reducers such as ZLYJ375-16-2 used under heavy-load conditions, gear breakage will directly lead to transmission failure, increased vibration, bearing damage and even the scrapping of the entire machine, posing major equipment and production safety risks.
1. Why must it be replaced immediately? ——Irreversible risks after rupture
High risk of chain damageAfter a single tooth breaks, the load of the remaining gear increases by more than 30%, which can easily cause fatigue fracture of adjacent teeth, which may cause multiple teeth or even the entire ring to collapse in a short period of time.
Fragments cause secondary damageMetal fragments produced by broken teeth will circulate in the lubricating oil, scratch other tooth surfaces, block the oil circuit, or enter the bearing and cause premature failure.
Vibration shock endangers the entire machine. Periodic impacts are generated when broken teeth engage, and the vibration amplitude can exceed the normal value by more than 2 times, accelerating the fatigue of the shaft system, and in severe cases, causing damage to couplings, motors and other related components.
