Synchronous Wheel Daily Maintenance Guide
Synchronous wheel is the mechanical transmission of the "gear metronome", daily maintenance done well, can make the equipment run more stable, longer life. The following from four practical point of view, teach you a simple way to maintain synchronous wheel, avoid common problems.
First, clean: spend 5 minutes a day, away from big trouble!
Synchronous wheel is most afraid of "eating dust" and "stained with oil". Every day after the equipment stops, spend a few minutes to do two things:
Wipe a wipe: with a clean cloth or a small brush, along the wheel tooth groove to sweep out the dust, debris. Especially the root part of the teeth, easy to hide dirt, available toothpicks gently pick out the buildup.
Blow: If it is a dusty environment (such as carpentry workshop), use compressed air to blow from the tooth surface to the back of the hub, the naked eye can not see the fine dust blow away.
Note: Don't use strong solvents like gasoline to rub the wheel teeth, it may corrode the surface. Encounter stubborn oil stains, with alcohol cotton balls gently wipe can be.
Second, lubrication: to the "joints" on the oil, turn more smoothly
Synchronous wheel bearings and shaft holes is the need to focus on lubrication "joints":
Bearing lubrication:
Every few months (or according to the frequency of use), give the bearings to replenish some grease. If it is a low-speed equipment, just use ordinary lithium grease; if the speed is high and the temperature is high, choose molybdenum disulfide grease.
Operation method: Find the grease injection hole on the side of the bearing, squeeze in the grease until the old oil is slightly squeezed out from the other end, and then wipe clean the overflowed grease.
Shaft hole anti-seize:
Installation of synchronous wheel shaft hole is easy due to friction "bite" the shaft, check once a year, in the shaft and hub contact with a thin layer of high-temperature resistant grease, the next time the disassembly will be much easier.
Third, check: look, listen, touch, early detection and early solution
Every day or every week to spend some time "physical examination" synchronous wheel, can be found in advance 80% of the problem:
Take a look:
Observe whether the tooth surface has cracks, missing teeth or obvious wear (for example, the top of the teeth from the tip of the grinding into a flat), whether the belt and the bite of the wheel teeth are aligned, whether there is no runout.
Listen:
When the equipment is running, the synchronizer wheel should make an even "rustling" sound. If there is a "click click click" sound, it may be tooth wear or belt loosening, stop the machine to check.
Touch:
After stopping the machine with the hand bearing parts, normal should be warm; if hot (more than 60 ℃), may be insufficient lubrication or bearing damage, need to be dealt with in a timely manner.
Fourth, adjust: so that the transmission "does not go sideways"
Synchronous wheel installed crooked or belt too loose or too tight, will affect the transmission effect:
Tuning parallelism:
Use a straightedge against the side of the two synchronous wheels to see if they are flush. If there is obvious deviation, loosen the fixing screws, adjust with shims until the straightedge can be tightly attached to the surface of the two wheels, and then tighten the screws.
Adjust belt tension:
Press the middle of the belt with your finger and feel some elasticity but not to the bottom. If it is too loose, the belt will slip easily; if it is too tight, it will make the shaft bear too much force. Adjust the tension pulley or move the motor position until the belt sinks about 1-2 centimeters when pressed (adjust according to the belt length).
Maintenance Mistake Reminder
Don't wait until it breaks, then repair it again: see the slight wear of the tooth surface should be dealt with, don't wait until the chipped teeth or the belt breaks before replacing it, then it may be associated with the damage of other parts.
Different materials are treated differently: aluminum alloy synchronous wheel to avoid collision, stainless steel wheel to pay attention to rust prevention, plastic wheel do not contact with solvents.
Demolition and installation of skills: do not knock hard when disassembling, first use the special pulling horse gently pull out, installation of the keyway, slowly pressed into the shaft, to avoid damage to the tooth surface.
Summarize: maintenance is good, save heart and money
Synchronous wheel routine maintenance does not require more professional technology, the key is to develop habits: spend a few minutes a day cleaning and inspection, regular lubrication adjustment. This will not only make the equipment run more stable, but also extend the synchronous wheel life of more than 30%, reduce the loss of downtime.
