Why Does The Worm Gear Reducer Increase in Temperature?

The basic structure of the worm gear reducer is mainly composed of the transmission parts worm gear, shaft, bearing, box and its accessories. It can be divided into three basic structural parts: box, worm gear, bearing and shaft combination. The box is the base of all accessories in the worm gear reducer, and it is an important accessory to support and fix the shafting components, ensure the correct relative position of the transmission accessories, and support the load acting on the reducer. The miniature worm gear motor is one of the most commonly used motors in the reducer. The following will introduce the reasons for the increase in the temperature of the reducer.

1. The temperature difference between the worm gear reducer and the environment is called temperature rise, which is generated by the heat of the reducer, which indicates the degree of heat generation. If the temperature rises sharply while the system is running, there may be a problem, a blocked air duct, or an excessive load.

2. The ultimate working temperature of the insulating material is the temperature of the hottest area in the insulation of the working winding within the specified expected life. If the working temperature exceeds the maximum working temperature of the material for a long time, the aging of the insulating layer will be accelerated, and the service life will be greatly reduced. So one of the key aspects of how a reducer works is temperature.

3. When the reducer is in use, its iron core produces iron loss in the alternating magnetic field, and copper loss occurs after the winding is energized. As a result, the temperature will increase.

4. The worm gear reducer also releases heat. Equilibrium is reached when heat generation and heat dissipation are equal, at which point the temperature stops rising and stabilizes. Equilibrium will be lost, the temperature will rise more, the temperature difference will expand, heat dissipation will increase, and when heat production or heat dissipation increases or decreases, a new equilibrium will be reached at another higher temperature.
