CouplingWhen The Connecting Components (such As Bolts, Elastic Elements, Cross Shafts, Etc.) Are Severely Worn, They Must Be Replaced In A Timely Manner, Otherwise It May Cause Equipment Failure Or Even Safety Accidents.
When The Wear Exceeds The Limit, The Fitting Accuracy Of The Connecting Parts Decreases, Which Can Lead To Unstable Torque Transmission Of The Coupling, Resulting In Problems Such As Vibration And Abnormal Noise. For Example, If The Bolt Wears Out And The Fastening Force Is Insufficient, It May Cause The Connection Between The Two Shafts To Loosen, Exacerbating The Shaft Displacement And Leading To Chain Failures Such As Bearing Overheating And Poor Gear Meshing, Increasing Equipment Maintenance Costs.
For Working Conditions That Transmit High Torque, Such As Steel Mills And Mining Machinery, Worn Connectors May Suddenly Break Due To Insufficient Strength, Causing Power Transmission Interruption And Production Stagnation. In Fields Such As Rail Transit And Lifting Equipment, Such Failures May Also Cause Safety Accidents, Endangering Personnel And Equipment Safety.
Attention Should Be Paid When Replacing: Choose Connectors That Match The Original Specifications To Ensure That The Material, Size, And Accuracy Meet The Requirements (such As High-strength Bolts That Meet The Standards); Clean The Oil Stains And Rust On The Connecting Surface Before Replacement, And Check If The Shaft Deviation Is Within The Allowable Range; Tighten According To The Specified Torque During Assembly, And Avoid Excessive Stretching Or Compression Of Elastic Components.
After Replacement, A Trial Run Should Be Conducted To Observe For Any Abnormal Vibrations Or Sounds, Ensuring That The Connecting Components Are Evenly Stressed. Regularly Checking The Wear Of Newly Replaced Components And Establishing Maintenance Records Can Effectively Extend The Overall Service Life Of The Coupling And Ensure Stable Operation Of The Equipment.
