How to preheat the WPDA147-30-B worm gear reducer when the working environment temperature is too low

When the working environment temperature is too low, the WPDA147-30-B worm gear reducer can be preheated by the following methods:

• Use heating device

• Heating rod : Heating rods can be installed in the reducer housing, such as some reducers with heating functions. The heating components include a mounting seat and a heating rod, and the mounting seat and the housing can be detachably connected. The starting heating rod can achieve heating in the installation cavity, thereby reducing the possibility of gear oil condensation.

• External heating equipment : Use infrared heaters, heating blankets and other external heating equipment to wrap it on the outer shell of the reducer, and heat the reducer as a whole to increase the lubricant temperature to above 0℃.

• Circulating hot oil preheating : If the reducer system is equipped with a lubricating oil circulation system, the lubricating oil can be heated to an appropriate temperature first, and then the hot oil can be poured into the reducer through the lubricating oil circulation pump, so that the lubricating oil can circulate and flow in the reducer, thereby heating various components of the reducer to achieve the purpose of preheating.

• Low-speed operation preheating : When starting the reducer, first let it run at an extremely low speed, generate heat through the slight friction between the gear and the worm gear, and gradually increase the temperature of the lubricant. However, this method requires attention to monitoring the operation of the reducer to avoid excessive wear or other damage caused by too much lubricant viscosity.
