Answer: Turning the shaft is done to prevent bending and deformation of the shaft, to check the tightness of the components, and to ensure that the components are sealed after lubrication. ====================================== ☛【HaiChuan Official Account】“Daily Recommendations” campaign for various sections: http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1603884-1-1.html (Source: HaiChuan Chemical Forum) ☛ Voting for the Petrochemical Section’s “I’m Saving Energy, Where Are You?” campaign has started: http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1606794-1-1.html
First, it is to check whether the equipment operates smoothly and if there are any sticking issues； Secondly, it prevents the bearing from bending or deforming, thus truly serving as a backup.
It prevents the coupling and bearings from bending over extended periods of time, and also serves a lubricating function
First, prevent the pump’s bearings from deforming due to gravity. Second, allow the lubricating oil inside the pump to flow, so that the oil can protect the components of the pump’s lubrication system. Third, it is possible to detect any problems with the pump in a timely manner. If the turntable cannot be rotated or if there are abnormal noises during rotation, it can be addressed promptly to reduce the risk of accidents.
It prevents jamming in the rotating parts and serves as a backup.
Prevent shaft deformation； It is to ensure adequate lubrication of the rotating parts
To prevent poor lubrication of rotating parts due to long periods of disuse
The pump shaft is equipped with components such as impellers, and prolonged exposure to gravity can cause the shaft to bend. Regular rotation of the shaft helps to change the direction of the forces acting on it, thereby minimizing bending deformation； Check the tightness of the moving components to prevent them from rusting due to prolonged inactivity, ensuring that the pump remains ready for use at any time ； The turntable lever delivers lubricant to all parts of the bearings, preventing them from rusting; moreover, thanks to the initial lubrication of the bearings, it is possible to start operating immediately in emergency situations.
Answer: The purpose of regular turning of the units is to carry out effective maintenance on the standby units, so as to identify potential problems in a timely manner and address them promptly.
Prevent the shaft from bending due to prolonged stress, and ensure full contact with lubricant to prevent rusting
