Gear Reducer Maintenance
Industrial gear reducers require very little maintenance, especially if
they have been factory-filled with quality, synthetic lubricant to a level
sufficient for all mounting positions. In most cases, oil change will not
be necessary over the life of the reducer. It is recommended that oil be
changed only if repair or maintenance needs otherwise dictate gearbox
disassembly.
Oil level should, however, be checked periodically and vent plugs
inspected to ensure they are clean and operating.
Otherwise, general maintenance procedures for any industrial
equipment apply. This includes making sure mounting bolts and
other attachments are secure and that no other unusual conditions
have occurred.
