When selecting the most suitable geared motor, it's essential to understand the detailed technical characteristics of the machine it will drive. A key factor in this process is determining the use factor fB. This helps ensure that the motor can handle the specific demands of your application effectively. The selection process should begin by identifying the following technical parameters: Reducers are typically designed for constant torque, infrequent start-stop cycles, and normal temperature environments. The allowable output torque T is calculated using the formula: T = Tout × fB, where Tout is the motor's output torque and fB is the usage coefficient. Additional factors like load characteristics, reliability, and ambient temperature also influence the total usage factor, which is expressed as fB_total = fB × fB1 × KR × KW. When choosing a geared motor, the following conditions must be met simultaneously: Proper installation of the reducer is crucial for optimal performance and longevity. Ensure that the drive center alignment is accurate, with any misalignment compensated for by the coupling used. Good alignment not only extends the service life but also improves transmission efficiency. Avoid striking the transmission member on the output shaft with a hammer; instead, use a press tool with bolts to avoid internal damage. It’s advisable to avoid steel fixed couplings, as improper installation can cause unnecessary stress, leading to bearing damage or even output shaft breakage. Mount the reducer securely on a stable, level base, ensuring proper oil drainage and smooth cooling airflow. An unstable foundation can lead to vibration, noise, and potential damage to gears and bearings. If the system includes protrusions, gears, or sprocket transmissions, protective devices should be installed. For large radial loads on the output shaft, a reinforced model is recommended. Make sure the installation allows easy access to the oil level indicator, vent plug, and drain plug. After installation, verify the position accuracy and check the tightness of all fasteners before operation. The reducer uses splash lubrication in an oil bath. Before starting, remove the vent plug screw and replace it with a proper one. Check the oil level based on the installation position, fill until oil overflows from the oil level hole, then secure the plug properly. Run the system for at least two hours, ensuring smooth operation without unusual vibrations, noises, or leaks. If issues arise, address them immediately. Periodically check the oil level to prevent casing leakage. Adjust the oil grade if the ambient temperature is too high or low. Regular maintenance is critical for long-term performance. New reducers come pre-filled with L-CKC100–L-CKC220 industrial gear oil. After 200–300 hours of operation, perform the first oil change. Monitor oil quality regularly and replace it if contaminated or degraded. For continuous operation, replace the oil every 5,000 hours or once a year. If the reducer has been idle for a long time, refill it with the same oil grade before restarting. Never mix different oil grades, but oils of the same grade with different viscosities may be combined. Always allow the reducer to cool slightly before changing oil to ensure safe and efficient drainage. If the oil temperature rises more than 80°C or exceeds 100°C and abnormal noises occur, stop the system immediately. Investigate the issue, fix it, and replace the oil before resuming operation. Maintain proper records of the reducer's operation and any problems encountered during inspections. Follow these guidelines strictly to ensure reliable performance and longevity.
