How to determine the optimal inspection cycle for the lubrication system of the KAF157-31.3-AD8-AD8 gear reducer.

The optimal inspection cycle for the lubrication system of KAF157-31.3-AD8-AD8 gearbox can be determined by referring to the following methods:

According to manufacturer recommendations: Gearbox manufacturers typically provide recommendations for lubrication system inspection cycles in the user manual based on product design and testing. You should first consult the relevant manual and check according to its recommended time or operating hours.

Considering the working environment: If the gearbox is in a high temperature, high dust, humid or corrosive environment, the lubricating oil is prone to deterioration or contamination, and the inspection cycle needs to be shortened. If in a high-temperature workshop, it may be necessary to inspect it every 2 months; In places with high dust levels, monthly inspections may be necessary.

According to the load situation, components such as gearboxes and gears that operate under high loads for a long time experience significant wear and tear, leading to a rapid decline in lubricating oil performance. Therefore, the inspection cycle should be relatively short, such as every 3 months. When the load is light, it can be checked every 6 months or so.

Combined with operating time: Generally speaking, the gearbox should undergo a comprehensive lubrication system inspection every 2000-5000 hours of operation or every six months. If the running time is long, such as equipment that runs continuously, it needs to be checked at shorter intervals; The inspection cycle for equipment that operates intermittently can be appropriately extended.

Pay attention to the quality of lubricating oil: The quality of lubricating oil can be checked by visual inspection, hand twisting method, or oil droplet trace method. If the lubricating oil turns black, contains impurities, changes in viscosity, or has an odor, it should be replaced in a timely manner and the next inspection cycle should be shortened. Under normal circumstances, oil testing should be conducted at least once a year to detect indicators such as viscosity, acid value, and moisture, and adjust the inspection cycle based on the results.

Reference equipment operation status: During daily operation, pay attention to observing the vibration, temperature, abnormal noise, and other conditions of the gearbox. If the temperature rise exceeds 40 ℃ or the oil temperature exceeds 80 ℃, or there are abnormal noises, intensified vibrations, etc., it may be a problem with the lubrication system, which needs to be checked immediately and the subsequent inspection cycle appropriately shortened.
