How to address the high noise from the speed increase gearbox of the reaction feed pump? Thank you!
I’ve watched and waited for experts to solve it. It’s hard to say; the symptoms mentioned by the original poster are not easy to assess
Is it just the noise? What about vibration? And temperature – are there any changes? Also, are the quality of the lubricating oil, the oil pressure, and the oil temperature all appropriate? A comprehensive assessment should be made based on these indicators and phenomena. For example, issues such as improper alignment (with the motor or the pump body), shaft play, loose foundation bolts, problems with the gear meshing in the gearbox, and the presence of impurities in the oil, etc
The equipment’s condition is not a major issue; it’s just a bit noisy, and installing soundproofing covers has helped somewhat
As long as the equipment is fine, that’s good. I’m worried about problems with the gearbox; if there are issues with it, that would be troublesome
It has been running for almost four years now; it’s just a bit noisier
