Selection of gearbox for speed reducer

Selection of gearbox for speed reducer

Selection and use of gearbox for speed reducer, how to select the right motor gearbox


First, the selection guide is for various of gearbox for speed reducer
In order to select a suitable gearbox for speed reducer, it is necessary to know the detailed technical characteristics of the machine driven by the gearbox for speed reducer. It is necessary to determine a use factor Fb, using the factor Fb.
The selection of the gearbox for speed reducer should first determine the technical parameters: the number of working hours per day; the number of starts and stops per hour; the hourly running cycle; the reliability requirement; the working machine torque T working machine; the output speed n out; the load type; the ambient temperature; On-site heat dissipation conditions;
gearbox for speed reducer is usually designed according to the constant torque, infrequent start and stop, and normal temperature.

The allowable output torque T is determined by the following formula:
T=T out X FB usage factor
T out---------- gearbox for speed reducer output torque, FB------- gearbox for speed reducer use coefficient
Transmission ratio ii=n In / n output motor power P (KW) P = T out * n out / 9550 * η Output torque T out (Nm) T out = 9550 * P * η / n in the formula: n into - input speed η - transmission efficiency of gearbox for speed reducer
When selecting a gearbox for speed reducer, according to different working conditions, the following conditions must be met: 1. T out ≥ T working machine 2. T = FB total * T working machine
Where: FB total - total usage factor, FB total = FB * FB1 * KR * KW FB - load characteristic coefficient, KR - reliability factor FB1 - coefficient of environmental question;

Second, gearbox for speed reducer installation precautions
When installing gearbox for speed reducer, the center of the drive shaft should be centered, and the error should not be greater than the compensation amount of the coupling used. Good alignment can extend the service life and achieve the desired transmission efficiency. When installing the transmission member on the output shaft, it is not allowed to strike with a hammer. Usually, the internal friction of the assembly jig and the shaft end is used, and the transmission member is pressed by the bolt, otherwise the internal parts of gearbox for speed reducer may be damaged. It is better not to use a steel fixed coupling. Due to the improper installation of this type of coupling, it will cause unnecessary external load, which will cause early damage of the bearing, and even cause the output shaft to break.
gearbox for speed reducer should be firmly installed on a stable level foundation or base. The oil in the oil drain should be removed, and the cooling air circulation should be smooth, the foundation is unreliable, vibration and noise will be caused during operation, and the bearings and gears will be damaged. When the transmission joint has protrusions or gears or chains, it should be considered to install protective devices. When the output shaft is subjected to large radial loads, the reinforcement type should be selected.
According to the specified installation device, the staff can conveniently approach the oil mark, vent plug and drain plug. After the installation is in place, the accuracy of the installation position should be thoroughly checked in order, and the reliability of each fastener should be flexibly rotated after installation. gearbox for speed reducer is splashed and lubricated in the oil pool. Before running, the user needs to remove the bolt of the vent hole and replace it with a vent plug. According to different installation positions, and open the oil level plug screw to check the height of the line, refuel from the oil level plug until the oil overflows from the oil level plug screw hole, and screw the oil level plug to ensure that it is empty. Commissioning, the time must not be less than 2 hours. The operation should be stable, no impact, vibration, noise and oil leakage. If abnormalities are found, they should be eliminated in time.

Selection and use of gearbox for speed reducer
After a certain period of time, the oil level should be checked again to prevent possible leakage of the casing. If the ambient temperature is too high or too low, the grade of the lubricating oil can be changed.
Third, the installation of shaft mounted gearbox for speed reducer.
1. Connection between gearbox for speed reducer and working machine
gearbox for speed reducer is directly set on the working machine main shaft. When gearbox for speed reducer is running, the counter torque acting on the deceleration housing is mounted on the counter-torque bracket on the deceleration housing or balanced by other methods. The machine directly matches the other end. Connected to a fixed bracket
2. Installation of the anti-torque bracket
The anti-torque bracket is mounted on the side of gearbox for speed reducer facing the working machine to reduce the bending moment attached to the working machine shaft.
The bushing of the anti-torque bracket and the fixed support coupling end uses an elastic body such as rubber to prevent deflection and absorb the torque ripple generated.
3. Installation relationship between gearbox for speed reducer and working machine
In order to avoid deflection of the working machine spindle and additional force on gearbox for speed reducer bearing, the distance between gearbox for speed reducer and the working machine should be as small as possible without affecting normal working conditions, and its value is 5-10mm.

Selection and use of gearbox for speed reducer
Fourth, the inspection and maintenance of gearbox for speed reducer
The newly-introduced gearbox for speed reducer has been injected into the L-CKC100L-CKC220 medium-pressure industrial gear oil in GB/T5903 at the factory. After 200-300 hours of operation, the first oil change should be carried out, and should be used in the future. Regularly check the quality of the oil and replace it with oil that has been mixed into the magazine or deteriorated.
Under normal circumstances, for gearboxes that work continuously for a long time, replace the new oil with 5000 hours of operation or once a year. The gearbox that has been deactivated for a long time should be replaced with new oil before re-running. gearbox for speed reducer should be added to the same grade as the original grade. Oil should not be mixed with oils of different grades. Oils with the same grade and different viscosity are allowed to be mixed.
When changing oil, wait for gearbox for speed reducer to cool down without burning danger, but still keep the oil temperature. Because the viscosity of the oil increases after complete cooling, it is difficult to drain the oil. Mainly: cut off the power supply of the transmission to prevent unintentional energization!
During work, when the temperature rise of the oil exceeds 80 °C or the temperature of the oil pool exceeds 100 °C and the noise of the production is abnormal, stop using it and check the cause. It is necessary to troubleshoot and replace the lubricant before continuing operation.
The user shall have reasonable rules for the use and maintenance, and shall carefully record the operation of gearbox for speed reducer and the problems found during the inspection. The above provisions shall be strictly implemented.
Selection of lubricating oil
gearbox for speed reducer must be filled with lubricating oil of appropriate viscosity before it is put into operation. The friction between the gears must be reduced. When the load is high and the load is high, gearbox for speed reducer can fully exert its function.
First use for about 200 hours, the lubricant must be drained, rinsed, and then re-added new lubricant to the center of the oil standard. If the oil level is too high or too low, it may cause the operating temperature to decelerate the training materials.

Selection and use of gearbox for speed reducer

First, the commonly used formula:

2. Torque (torque) T(N.m): T=F*R(N:m) or T=F*D/2(N.m)
3. Torque T (N.m) (related to power speed):
T= *η(N.m) or P= (N.m)
4. Synchronous speed of AC motor No. (r/min or r.p.m): No=
Code: Л—3.14, D—diameter (mm), R—radius (mm), V—linear velocity (m/s), F—force (N), P—power (KW), f—power frequency (Hz), P - the number of poles of the motor.
