Now precision gears are used more and more widely, especially some mechanical gears are used more and more widely in mechanical equipment, and become the key components of the equipment. So, how long does the mechanical gear usually last? What are the factors that affect the usage time?

1. Time is not long or short: Generally speaking, the service life of precision gears is within 5 years. Of course, its use is related to many reasons. For example, the influence of gears made of different materials is different. Under the same conditions, gears with better materials can use longer network life, and gears with poor materials can work for a relatively short time through use. Force on gear. If the force on the gear is balanced, it will take longer to use it for some time. If the force on the gear is uneven, it will also bring greater risks.

2. Maintenance of precision gears: with the increase of service time, the gear surface will be worn when it needs maintenance. When maintaining the gear, mainly check the lubricating oil or grease of the gear. Replace the lubricating oil that does not meet the quality requirements.

3. Working environment of precision gear: if the gear works in a bad environment for a long time, it will inevitably lead to performance degradation, thus shortening the service life.

These are the main factors that affect the service life of mechanical gears. Of course, as long as we grasp the above points and carry out targeted maintenance, it is not difficult to maintain good performance and prolong the service life of the gear. In addition, it is also necessary to operate and use the gear according to the requirements, such as correctly installing the gear and regularly checking the wear of the gear, which is conducive to extending the service life of the gear.

The above is an introduction of how long precision gears are usually used. Those who need precision gears are welcome to consult IHF Hefa gear manufacturers.
