What are the dangers of adding too much or too little lubrication to the WPDX80-30-A worm gear reducer? 2026-01-28
Improper grease filling, whether too much or too little, will cause serious harm to the WPDX80-30-A worm gear reducer. The core is accelerating wear, causing overheating, causing leakage, and ultimately shortening the life of the equipment. 1. The hazards of too little grease: Insufficient lubrication and increased wear: An effective oil film cannot be formed, and metal parts such as gears and bearings are directly rubbed against each other, resulting in tooth surface wear, pitting, gluing, bearing raceway scratches, increased clearance, reduced transmission accuracy and noise. Poor heat dissipation and temperature rise: Lubricating oil has a heat dissipation effect. When the amount of oil is insufficient, the heat cannot be dissipated in time, resulting in oil temperature rising sharply, the viscosity of the lubricating oil being reduced, and the lubrication performance further deteriorating, forming a vicious cycle. Accelerated component failure: Under high load and high speed, wear will become more serious, which may lead to sudden failures such as gear breakage and bearing burnout. 2.
