Issues with the oil level in the reducer
Thread Content
Is it 1/3~1/2 or 1/2~2/3 for the Sealed type oil immersion objective? Please take a look, thank you
1/2 to 2/3 – it is generally appropriate to fill the gear oil level to 3-5 teeth above the large gear
It’s usually 1/2; there is generally a scale mark on it, and adding up to that amount is sufficient. It shouldn’t be too much, nor too little
Between one-half and two-thirds – not too much, and not too little either.
The explanations provided by several poster owners meet the requirements of the request for help, so the discussion can be concluded.
The oil level in a reducer should be adjusted according to the markings on the oil gauge; the oil sight glass is used to check whether there is oil present, and it cannot be used as a basis for determining the amount of oil to add
Between one-half and two-thirds is the range; the key is to consider which type of oil level gauge is being used. Generally, the oil should be filled below the centerline of the reducer’s spindle. It’s best when the gauge reads 1/2, but the acceptable range is from 1/3 to 2/3.
