As an important component in mechanical transmission, the service life and stability of the reducer have a crucial impact on the efficiency and economic benefits of industry production. During long-term use, the problem of oil leakage in the gearbox is a common phenomenon, which affects the normal production of the gearbox. Next, we will conduct a detailed analysis from two aspects: the causes and solutions of the gearbox oil leakage.

1. Reasons for gearbox oil leakage

The reasons for the gearbox oil leakage are quite complex, mainly including the following points:

(1) Seal failure. The failure of the gearbox seal is a major cause of gearbox oil leakage. During long-term use, seals may fail due to deformation, aging, and other factors, leading to a decrease in the sealing performance of the oil seal and resulting in oil leakage.

(2) The impact of the usage environment. During the use of the gearbox, if it encounters harsh environments such as highly corrosive media such as acid, alkali, salt, or special environments such as high temperature, low temperature, and high humidity, it can also lead to the failure of the sealing components, leading to oil leakage in the gearbox.

(3) Design and manufacturing defects. If there are defects in the design and manufacturing of the gearbox, such as unreasonable material and structure of the oil seal, or insufficient machining accuracy, it will lead to oil leakage in the gearbox.

2. Solution to gearbox oil leakage

When there is an oil leakage problem in the gearbox, timely measures need to be taken to deal with it. Below are three common methods of handling it:

(1) Replace the seal. If the seal failure causes oil leakage in the gearbox, it is necessary to replace the seal in a timely manner. When replacing seals, it is necessary to pay attention to selecting suitable seals, and ensure that the seals are fixed and lubricated during installation.

(2) Replace the oil seal. If it is a problem with the oil seal, it is necessary to replace it with a suitable oil seal in a timely manner. When selecting oil seals, it is necessary to pay attention to selecting appropriate materials and structures to ensure the sealing performance of the oil seals.

(3) Strengthen maintenance management. In addition to the above two methods, it is also possible to strengthen the maintenance and management of the gearbox to avoid the occurrence of gearbox oil leakage. During normal use, it is necessary to pay attention to timely checking the lubrication of the gearbox to ensure that the quality and quantity of lubricating oil meet the requirements; At the same time, it is also necessary to regularly inspect the sealing components of the gearbox, promptly identify and solve problems.
