Lubrication plays a very important role in gear transmission. It can reduce friction and wear, as well as heat dissipation, rust prevention, shock absorption, and noise reduction.What are the lubrication methods of gear transmission?How should we choose?

    1. Oil bath lubrication

    The oil bath lubrication method is suitable for small and medium-sized gearboxes with low speed. This method uses the gearbox body as an oil tank, and the gear is immersed in the oil to a certain depth. Due to the rotation of the gear, the oil splashes, and the oil droplets splash to various parts. Lubricate.When using, pay attention to the rotation speed not too high, otherwise the oil will be thrown away from the tooth surface, resulting in insufficient lubrication, and will also increase the loss of power.

    2. Circulating lubrication

    Circulating lubrication adopts a separate lubrication system, and the application effect is better.When the gear is working, the oil is sent to the gear box by the oil pump, and then flows back to the oil tank. Such a continuous cycle. At the same time, this lubrication method also has the functions of lubricating, cooling, and flushing the tooth surface. It is suitable for higher peripheral speeds and higher power. Large gear transmission.

    3. Grease lubrication

    This kind of lubrication method is better for some low-speed and heavy-duty gears, not only can reduce wear, but also can avoid oil leakage, and can be used in gearboxes in metallurgical equipment.

    4. Solid lubrication

    The solid lubrication method is suitable for gear reducers that are not loaded and run relatively smoothly. It has a good effect and can reduce oil leakage.
