When choosing a planetary reducer, attention is paid to its service life. While ensuring quality, it is hoped that the reducer will have a longer service life in order to maximize its utilization. So what factors will affect the lifespan of planetary reducers?

1. The shaking effect of load working current: If the motor circuit is frequently connected and switched, the load current will swing frequently, causing a sharp change in current short circuit. Then, in the current circuit and motor coil, the obvious additional force is related to the square of the current, and through the insulation material on the fixed coil, over time, it will cause insulation failure, such as short circuit or open circuit, coil damage, and shorten the service life of the motor.
2. The effects of rotation, change, shaking, and the rotation process: When mechanical connections such as laminations and bushings generate additional loads, insulated wires exert additional mechanical forces on moving parts, which also generate additional loads. Then, these moving parts and mechanical connections will not work due to fatigue.
3. The impact of high temperature overload and temperature fluctuations: High temperature overload can damage insulation materials. Since the maximum temperature is directly related to the lifespan of the insulation material, we do not allow the temperature of the motor to exceed the allowable limit temperature of the insulation material during operation. Similarly, temperature fluctuations also have a certain impact on the service life of insulation data.
4. The influence of environmental conditions on the operation of reducers: When selecting motors, it is necessary to choose motors with corresponding protective structures based on environmental conditions. The planetary reducer is suitable for environments with temperatures ranging from -10 ℃ to+40 ℃ and humidity below 90%.
5. Frequent operation of heavy machinery: planetary reducers work for a long time, which often causes the temperature of the reducer to rise and results in significant frictional resistance. So as the temperature of the reducer increases, the frictional resistance also increases, which means that lubrication of the reducer must be ensured in this situation. If there is no guarantee, the frictional resistance of the reducer increases, which in turn increases the wear of the reducer and increases the probability of reducer wear. Usually, when using a planetary gearbox, we must pay attention to adjusting the lubrication of the planetary gearbox.
