Installation Guidelines for Worm Gear Reducers

To ensure the proper operation and extended service life of the worm gear reducer, it is essential to strictly follow the core installation and usage points outlined below.

I. Mounting Base and Alignment

• Secure Mounting: The reducer must be installed on a flat, rigid base to ensure there is no looseness or instability.
• Precise Alignment: During installation, all connecting points (e.g., motor shaft, driven machine shaft) must be precisely aligned to the axis to prevent excessive vibration and wear.

II. Coupling Component Assembly

• Correct Assembly: When assembling the motor, it is recommended to apply grease to the shaft end. This helps prevent overtightening during assembly and avoids corrosion in the shaft bore over time. If the motor is heavy, additional support should be provided.
• When installing couplings, pulleys, sprockets, or other connecting parts, never use a hammer for direct heavy impact. Instead, use appropriate tools for press-fitting.

III. Startup and Operation

• Proper Start/Stop: The reducer's input speed should not exceed 1500 RPM.
• The device can be started in either forward or reverse rotation. For the initial use, gradually increase the load; do not immediately raise it to the maximum value.

IV. Lubrication and Sealing

• Lubrication Management: This unit is pre-filled with lubricating oil upon shipment, and no additional filling by the user is required. However, before initial use, it is crucial to replace the oil plug on the housing with the included breather plug (vented plug).
• Seal Maintenance: All mating surfaces of the product are factory-sealed. If the user performs any disassembly and reassembly, it is imperative to ensure the sealing integrity is restored to prevent oil leaks. Please note that the warranty does not cover issues arising from user-performed disassembly and reassembly.

V. Operating Environment

The standard operating ambient temperature for the reducer is -5°C to 40°C, and the site should maintain good ventilation. During loaded operation, the housing surface temperature can reach up to 95°C. If the temperature exceeds this limit, the machine should be stopped immediately for inspection.

Adhering to the above guidelines will effectively ensure the stable operation and performance of your equipment.
