Will oil leakage of P series planetary reducer affect its performance?

Oil leakage in the P series planetary reducer will cause lubrication failure, thereby reducing transmission performance, exacerbating component wear, and eventually shortening the service life or even shutting down.

1. Directly lower transmission performance

1. The reduction of lubricating oil will cause insufficient lubrication of meshing parts such as planetary gears and sun gears, increase frictional resistance, and significantly reduce transmission efficiency.

2. Lack of oil leads to abnormal meshing clearance, intensified vibration and noise during operation, and unstable output torque, affecting the operation accuracy of the equipment.

2. Accelerate wear and damage of components

1. Without sufficient lubrication, gears and bearings are prone to dry friction, which can quickly lead to pitting, gluing or even ablation. In severe cases, tooth surface peeling may occur.

2. Increased friction will cause the oil temperature to rise sharply, further aging the seals and remaining lubricating oil, forming a vicious cycle of 'oil leakage → oil shortage → more serious oil leakage'.

3. Shorten life span and cause safety hazards

1. Long-term oil shortage operation will greatly shorten the life of the core components of the reducer, and equipment that can originally be used for thousands of hours may be scrapped early.

2. Serious oil leakage may lead to complete failure of lubrication, causing gears to become stuck or bearings to burn, causing equipment shutdown or even safety accidents.

4. Indirect impact on production and environment

1. Leaked lubricating oil will pollute the working environment and may cause product quality problems in industries with high cleanliness requirements such as food and electronics.

2. Oil leakage will corrode the reducer housing and peripheral equipment, increasing additional maintenance costs and workload.
