What happens if the slewing bearing is improperly lubricated?

/in /by

When buying slewing bearings, slewing bearing manufacturers will tell us to lubricate the bearings regularly, but for those who don’t understand, improper lubrication may occur during lubrication. Then, are the consequences of improper lubrication of slewing bearings serious? ? What happens if the slewing bearing is improperly lubricated? What should be paid attention to when lubricating bearings?

Consequences of improper lubrication of slewing bearings

Slewing Bearings

1. Discoloration

Metal-to-metal contact will make the bearing temperature too high, causing the raceways and rollers to become discolored. In mild cases, this discoloration is due to the lubricant contaminating the bearing surface, while in severe cases, the metal discolors due to high temperatures. In all cases, early detection can avoid costly repairs.

2. Bearing heating

When the machine is running, the part where the bearing is installed is allowed to have a certain temperature. When touching the housing of the mechanism with your hand, it should be normal that you don’t feel hot, otherwise it indicates that the bearing temperature is too high. One of the reasons for excessively high bearings is poor lubrication of the bearings. The lubricating oil (or grease) used in rolling bearings has a certain working temperature. When the temperature is too high, water or ash enters the bearing seat, it will be seriously oxidized, emulsified, etc., which will lose its lubrication effect and cause the bearing to suffer from high temperature. And burned. In addition, poor quality of lubricating oil (or grease) itself or failure to add oil (grease) during operation will cause the bearing temperature to rise.

3. Scratches and peeling

Inspect the bearing for signs of cutting into the metal or peeling of the metal. These situations require immediate attention. Scratches and peeling are prone to occur in high-load low-speed applications or continuous high temperatures, and thin or insufficient lubricating oil film will accelerate the occurrence of the problem. Insufficient lubrication, wrong grease selection, or sudden changes in working conditions may cause bearing material to peel off or bearing ribs to scratch.

4. Abnormal bearing noise

If the bearing is in a good state of continuous rotation, it will emit a low whining or buzzing sound. If there is a sharp hiss, squeak and other irregular sounds, it often indicates that the bearing is in a poor continuous rotation condition. The sharp squeaking noise may be caused by improper lubrication.

5. The bearing is completely locked

Extreme local heating will produce metal flow in the bearing, changing the original material and geometry of the bearing. This may result in excessive tilting of the rollers, damage to the cage, and complete lock-up of the bearing. If catastrophic damage does occur, it is recommended to consult a bearing expert to determine the root cause of the problem, because it may be a factor other than lubrication.

Precautions for correct lubrication

Slewing Bearings

1. Choose the right grease

Choosing a suitable grease will make the grease fully play the role of lubrication in the bearing operation, so that the bearing can be used for a longer time. The following are the points that need to be paid attention to when choosing the grease. Let’s take a look.

(1) Look at the working temperature: The working temperature of the lubricating part is an important basis for choosing lubricating grease. The typical components that use grease are rolling bearings. Under high temperature conditions, the temperature of the outer ring of the bearing is 15°C lower than the temperature of the inner ring. The temperature of the bearing operating at medium and low speeds (3000-5000r/min) is similar to the temperature of the internal medium. Under low temperature conditions, synthetic oil grease must be used, especially for some instrument miniature bearings, which have a small aerodynamic torque. Pay special attention to the selection of grease.

(2) Look at the running speed of the bearing: the speed of the lubricating component has a great influence on the bearing life of the grease. Therefore, when selecting lubricating grease, the movement speed of the lubricated part must be considered.

(3) Look at the environment: the environment of the lubricating part and the medium in contact have a great influence on the performance of the grease.

(4) Look at the filling method: the filling method of grease includes manual filling and centralized pump filling. Smearing or filling, grease gun filling, grease cup filling, etc. are manual filling and automatic filling.

2. Choose the right way

(1) Manual lubrication: This is a relatively primitive method. In the case of insufficient lubricating oil in the bearing, use an oiler to supply oil. It is usually used for light-load, low-speed or intermittent motion occasions. It is recommended to use the oil filler hole during operation. Dust cover or ball valve is set on it, and felt, cotton, wool, etc. are used as filter devices.

(2) Automatic lubrication: The automatic lubricator is a device used to replace manual refueling. The main advantage of this device is to save labor. It can refuel regularly and quantitatively, so that the life of the equipment can be prolonged, especially suitable for more complicated working conditions. Bottom, can reduce the safety risk of manual refueling. Using an automatic lubricator, you can continuously lubricate the running equipment automatically.

3. Add grease in time

Choosing the appropriate grease and lubrication method is the prerequisite for lubrication, but it is also necessary to add grease in time in daily use. This is also a problem that people often ignore or forget. Adding grease in time is to ensure that the bearing is running to meet the operating conditions Lubricating oil, which is also the key to extending the service life of the bearing.

The above is the whole content of the consequences caused by improper lubrication of the slewing bearing and the lubrication method. We understand that improper lubrication of the slewing bearing may cause the bearing to change color, heat, scratch and peel, have abnormal noise, lock up, etc. When lubricating, pay attention to the correct selection of grease and timely add grease, etc., which can effectively avoid the occurrence of improper lubrication.

What are the maintenance tasks in the use of slewing bearings? How to maintain?

/in /by

The slewing bearing is an indispensable part of large-scale machinery. It can be installed in the machine to allow the machine to rotate left and right. At the same time, it can withstand various forces. Because the slewing ring is very important, careful maintenance is required. More than 96% of the slewing ring failures are caused by lubrication problems, pollution, wear and incorrect operation, which seriously affects its service life and normal performance.

1. The slewing bearing is coated with a small amount of grease when it leaves the factory. When the product is used, it should be filled with new grease according to different working conditions.

2. The slewing bearing should be greased regularly. According to different types of slewing bearings, the specific grease filling time is as follows:

a: Ball type: Grease is added once every 100 hours of operation.

b; Roller type: Grease is added every 50 hours of operation.

Slewing Bearings

If in a special working environment, such as: tropical, high temperature, dusty, high temperature and continuous continuous work, the grease filling cycle should be shortened, and the grease should be filled once every 50 hours of work; when the gear is working normally, it should be guaranteed to work every time Apply detergent once every 150 hours. When working vigorously, apply detergent once every 75 hours of work. Note that the teeth must be wiped clean before applying detergent. The machine must be refilled with new grease before and after the long-term stagnation of the machine. Each time the grease is added, the raceway must be filled until it overflows from the sealing device. When the grease is added, the slewing ring must be slowly transferred. Make the grease evenly filled in the raceway.

3. Because there are many comprehensive factors in the process of use, the user can choose the grease according to the specific situation. For example, the raceway can use: No. 3, No. 4 graphite grease, industrial grease, No. 203 grease, No. 7002 High and low temperature bearing grease and No. 2 aluminum-based grease, etc.

Since the slewing ring is installed, after 100 hours of operation, the pre-tightening force of the bolts should be checked, and every 500 hours of operation thereafter, it must be adequate and tried.

4. After the equipment has been working for 2000 hours, if a bolt is found to be loose below 80% of the specified torque, the bolt and two adjacent bolts shall be replaced with new ones; if 20% of the bolts are found to be loose to 80% of the specified torque Below, all bolts are replaced with new ones. After the equipment has been working for 14,000 hours, all bolts should be replaced with new ones.

5. Pay close attention to the operation of the slewing bearing during use. If you find that the noise, impact, or power suddenly increases, you should stop the machine for inspection immediately until all the faults are eliminated, and disassemble and inspect if necessary.

6. When the slewing bearing is in use, it is forbidden to directly wash the slewing bearing with water to avoid water entering the raceway to cause rust; strictly prevent hard foreign objects from approaching or entering the meshing area to avoid injury to the teeth or unnecessary trouble.

7. To keep the surface of the slewing bearing clean, choose a suitable solvent for cleaning according to the surface properties of the rust-proof object, so as to avoid serious corrosion. Surface cleaning can use chemical treatment cleaning method and mechanical cleaning method. When the surface is dry, do a good job in controlling the temperature and wait until most of the area is dry before wiping it with gauze. When applying anti-rust oil, it is necessary to apply different methods according to the different properties of the bearing surface. Miniature bearings can be directly immersed in anti-rust grease. If you encounter a special shape, you can choose the painting method, so that it is not easy to produce accumulation. There are many factors that cause metal corrosion. The chemical composition of the metal itself can also cause corrosion or the temperature and humidity of the environment in which the item exists can also cause corrosion.

8. The sundries on the surface of the slewing ring should be removed frequently during use, and the sealing strips of the slewing ring should be checked for aging, cracking, damage or detachment. If one of these conditions occurs, the sealing strips should be replaced in time to prevent debris and debris from entering the raceway. If the grease is lost, the corresponding grease should be applied after replacement to avoid jamming or rusting of rolling elements and raceways.

The above is a detailed explanation of the maintenance work in the use of the slewing ring. In short, the slewing ring has malfunctions such as noise and impact after a period of use. The operator should pay attention to observe and check in time to eliminate the fault. Only correct and reasonable maintenance of the slewing bearing can ensure its normal operation, give full play to its performance, and extend its service life.

What are the self-locking methods of spur gear drive?

/in /by

Spur gear drive is also a kind of gear type slewing drive. Its transmission principle is a device in which the pinion drives the gear ring of the slewing ring to rotate and reduce. From the deceleration principle of the slewing drive, we can find that it does not have the self-locking function. Yes, if you want to achieve exact stop, you need to use a brake device for locking. The editor of Ronda will introduce to you the self-locking methods of spur gear drive.

What is spur gear drive self-locking

Spur gear drive self-locking is to manually stop the drive when it needs to be stopped. The main use of the self-locking principle is that when the transmission angle, that is, the complementary angle of the pressure angle, is less than one-half of the friction angle, the conditions for self-locking can be achieved. That is to follow the self-locking phenomenon, when the resultant force of the transmission force of the object acts within the friction angle, no matter how great the force is, there will always be a total reaction force to balance it and keep the object still. However, the spur gear drive cannot achieve self-locking and needs to rely on external force to complete the drive locking effect. The following specifically introduces the ways to realize the self-locking of the spur gear drive.

Self-locking method of spur gear drive

VE Series Slewing Drive

 

1. Servo motor self-locking

When the spur gear slewing drive is driven by a servo motor, when the driving force is small inertia, that is, the starting is frequent and the load is small, the servo motor is usually stopped to achieve the locking of the spur gear drive. The locking force of the servo motor is passed The reduction ratio of the spur gear drive is amplified, and then reflected on the turntable to achieve drive locking. At this time, the locking force is relatively large, which is very suitable for working conditions with small inertia.

2. Self-locking hydraulic motor

The spur gear drive using hydraulic motor can be braked by the hydraulic motor during use, so as to realize the locking of the spur gear drive. Among them, the hydraulic motor braking method is divided into the following three types:

(1) Braking with overflow valve: It can realize bidirectional braking to the hydraulic motor, and can play a buffering effect.

(2) Braking with accumulator: Install accumulators near the oil inlet and outlet of the hydraulic motor to achieve bidirectional braking on the hydraulic motor.

(3) Braking with normally closed brake: When the hydraulic oil in the brake hydraulic cylinder loses pressure, the brake will act immediately to achieve braking.

3. Self-locking brake reducer

The disc brake that uses the spur gear of the brake reducer to drive the brake motor is installed on the end cover of the motor’s non-output end. When the brake motor is connected to the power supply, the electromagnet attracts the armature and the brake armature is separated from the brake disc and the motor starts When the brake motor loses current, the electromagnet cannot attract the armature, the armature falls back to the brake disc, and the motor stops rotating. The self-locking effect of the spur gear drive is realized through the characteristics of the brake motor’s power-off braking.

4. Bolt brake

What are the self-locking methods of spur gear drive? You can also install a pin hole on the gear drive to lock the spur gear drive that requires a fixed position. At the beginning of the design, a pin hole is designed on the rotating ferrule, and a starter or hydraulic pin device is designed on the frame. During the driving process, the bolt mechanism can pull out the pin to allow the drive to rotate normally. Insert the pin back into the bolt hole at the position where it needs to be stopped and fixed. The drive is fixed on the frame by the pin of the ferrule and cannot rotate. Realize self-locking.

5. Self-locking brake gear

A separate brake gear is installed on the rotary drive. This method is suitable for situations where frequent braking is required and the spur gear drive power is large and the braking power is large. Large braking force will cause the failure of the connection between gears, reduction gears, and motors, and shorten the service life of the spur gear drive. For this reason, the spur gear drive with independent brake gears can be used to achieve separate braking to avoid the transmission force. The connecting parts fail due to the sudden braking, and the parts are damaged.

The above is the main introduction about the self-locking methods of the spur gear drive. The realization of the self-locking function of the slewing drive can be selected according to the specific equipment operating conditions and requirements.
