The normal operation of an excavator depends on the concerted efforts of all components. Any failure of any component will affect the normal operation of the excavator. This is also true for small excavators. Today we are going to talk about its one of the components: reducer.
The reducer is an independent component composed of gear transmission, worm transmission, and gear worm transmission enclosed in a rigid shell. It is used as a reduction transmission device between the original part of a small excavator and the working machine.
It is usually maintained Time is inseparable from lubricating oil, so what effect can lubricating oil play on it?
1. Improve oxidation stability. By the stirring of gears and continuous contact with oxygen, various oxides are formed under the catalysis of metal to improve oxidation stability.
2. Improve rust resistance and corrosion resistance, and prevent metal corrosion.
3. Enhance the wear resistance and prevent sintering, bonding and other damage to the friction surface.
4. Formation of foam resistance.
A very important part of the reducer of a small excavator, regular lubrication maintenance is essential.
