Vertical cycloidal pinwheel reducer
Thread Content
For vertical cycloidal pinwheel reducers used with the stirring shafts of reaction vessels, and those that are connected directly to the motor, how much lubricant should be added? Which parts need to be lubricated, and to what level should the oil reach according to the oil gauge markings? Does the circulating oil pump have to run at the same time? In all of our reaction vessels, there isn’t any lubricant visible in the oil gauge tube, and it seems that the oil pump isn’t rotating either. Won’t this cause the reducer to grind dry and get damaged quickly?
If the oil pump does not rotate, the reducer will grind dry and break down quickly.
It’s obvious that there’s a lack of oil; fill it up as soon as possible, bringing the oil level to two-thirds of the gauge. Generally, 220 or 320 grade gear oil should be used.

Moreover, in this case the entire reducer ends up submerged in oil, which isn’t conducive to heat dissipation. For horizontal equipment, the oil level is generally set above 1/2; vertical equipment is different. For example, in a horizontal centrifugal pump, the oil level at the bearings is set to 1/2 of the sight glass level. But what if, for instance, the pump is placed vertically – how much oil should be used at the bearings then?
Cycloidal pinwheel reducers, unlike gear reducers, do not suffer from low lubricating oil levels due to splashing, especially in vertical models where the bearings at the top cannot be reached by the oil. It wears out easily; just fill it to the level indicated by the manufacturer’s design. Who would be reluctant to use oil? Is the equipment more expensive, or is the lubricant more costly? !
Give a thumbs up to the expert on the 5th floor; that’s the correct answer.
Give a thumbs up to the hero on the sixth floor – they’re amazing
With an oil pump, the upper part cannot be lubricated through forced circulation; a oil level of 1/2 is sufficient.
