Bevel gears are conical gears whose teeth are distributed along the sides of the cone and are used to transmit power between intersecting shafts. Bevel gears are usually used in pairs, where the tooth top of one gear meshes with the tooth valley of the other gear to achieve power transmission and direction twisting.
However, over time, the bevel gear will wear out due to various reasons, affecting its effectiveness and service life. The causes of bevel gear wear mainly include the following points:
1.Excessive load: Operating conditions beyond the design load cause excessive gear wear.
2.Poor lubrication: insufficient lubricating oil or substandard quality, unable to form an effective lubricating film and increasing wear.
3.Improper alignment: The center distance of the gear is deviated or the axes are not parallel when the gear is installed, resulting in uneven force on the gear and accelerated wear.
4.Quality defect: Improper gear material or heat treatment process, resulting in insufficient gear strength or uneven hardness.
5.Impurity intrusion: External impurities enter the gear meshing area, causing abrasive wear.
6.Improper operation: Frequent starts, emergency stops or speed changes cause the gears to bear impact loads and accelerate wear.
7.Environmental factors: High humidity and high corrosion environments will accelerate gear wear.
Therefore, reasonable maintenance of bevel gears is particularly important.
1.In terms of daily maintenance, we must first ensure that the working environment of the bevel gear is clean to prevent dust and impurities from entering the inside of the gear box. Before each start-up, check the gearbox oil level to ensure that the amount of lubricating oil is appropriate, and add or replace lubricating oil according to the model recommended in the equipment instruction manual. During operation, pay attention to the operating status of the gear, listen for abnormal noise, and promptly discover and deal with possible signs of failure.
2.Regular inspection is the key to ensuring the good operation of bevel gears. At certain intervals, conduct a comprehensive inspection of the bevel gear, including gear wear, whether there is peeling or cracking on the tooth surface, whether the gear shaft is bent or worn, whether the bearing is loose or damaged, etc. At the same time, check the oil quality in the gear box. If it is found that the oil quality has deteriorated or contains impurities such as metal shavings, the lubricating oil should be replaced immediately. In addition, clean the gearbox regularly to remove sludge and dirt and keep the inside of the gearbox clean.
3.Preventive measures mainly include the following points: first, select high-quality gears and lubricating oil to ensure the machining accuracy and lubrication performance of the gears; second, reasonably design the ventilation and cooling system of the gear box to prevent gear damage due to overheating; third, regularly Provide training to operators to improve their awareness of the importance of gear maintenance and ensure the correct implementation of operating procedures; fourth, fully consider the load capacity and working environment of the gear during the design stage to avoid early wear caused by improper design; fifth, establish A complete maintenance record system records in detail each maintenance, inspection and replacement of parts, making it easy to track the use of gears and detect problems in a timely manner.
Through the implementation of the above daily maintenance, regular inspections and preventive measures, the stable operation of the bevel gear can be effectively guaranteed, its service life can be extended, the incidence of failures can be reduced, and the normal operation and production efficiency of the entire mechanical equipment can be ensured.
