Causes and preventive measures of broken teeth of slewing bearing

Causes of broken teeth of 1. slewing bearing 1. Aspects of production (1) The strength of the material used in the bearing production process is insufficient or there are a large number of non-metallic inclusions in the metal structure, which will affect the rigidity of the bearing material. (2) The heat treatment quenching process of the bearing can improve the strength, toughness, wear resistance and fatigue strength of the bearing. If the heat treatment process is not good, the performance of the bearing may be affected. For example, the heating temperature is too high, which makes the carbon concentration of the surface carburized layer too high, forming angular block and network carbide structure. However, the subsequent quenching and heating process temperature is too low to eliminate it, resulting in increased brittleness of carburized layer surface, the service life of the gear is reduced. 2. Installation (1) Poor meshing: Improper adjustment of the backlash of the large and small gears during bearing installation, and poor meshing may cause tooth breakage. (2) Meshing gap adjustment: The meshing gap adjustment of the tooth jump and the pinion is not adjusted according to the requirements, resulting in the gear and the large gear during operation when the tooth jump position is large, the gear is stuck and the tooth is broken. (3) the gear axis is not parallel: after the installation of the size of the gear meshing, resulting in broken teeth. (4) bolt loosening: slewing bearing installation bolt fastening is not firm, the size of the gear meshing is poor, resulting in broken teeth. 3. Aspects of use (1) Abnormal operation: tooth breakage caused by violation of relevant equipment operation procedures, overload high-speed rotation or host collision with obstacles, etc. (2) Foreign matter stuck: when the slewing bearing meshes with the pinion, foreign matter is stuck, causing tooth breakage. The broken teeth of the slewing bearing are irreversible and need to be replaced. After the reasons for the broken teeth of the slewing bearing are clear, we should summarize the corresponding experience to prevent the occurrence of broken teeth.

How to remove the slewing bearing? Bearing disassembly method and matters needing attention

Disassembly method of 1. slewing bearing 1. Normal clearance fit Under the condition that the support size is designed normally, the clearance fit of the bearing can be removed by tapping or pulling out with copper rod or other soft metal smaller than the inner diameter of the bearing at the end of the shaft, or the bearing can be slowly pulled out and removed by using a special puller as long as the direction is aligned. 2, the inner ring interference situation For bearing disassembly can not be separated from the tool, small size turntable bearing regular tool of choice is the puller. Divided into two kinds of thread and hydraulic. Thread puller is a more traditional tool. Its operation is to align the center screw with the center hole of the shaft, apply a small amount of grease to the center hole of the shaft for lubrication, hook the hook on the end face of the inner ring of the bearing, and twist the center rod with a wrench to pull out the bearing. The hydraulic puller uses a hydraulic device instead of the thread. When the piston in the middle is continuously extended during pressurization, the bearing will be continuously pulled out, which is faster than the traditional threaded puller and the hydraulic device can quickly retreat. When there is a large number of small size bearings need to be disassembled, you can also use the rapid disassembly of the hydraulic device. 3. The interference fit of the outer ring The premise of removing the bearing under the condition of interference fit of the outer ring of the bearing is that the diameter of the outer ring stop shoulder cannot be less than the supporting diameter required by the bearing. It can be considered to leave two to three notches at the bearing seat step position in the bearing design stage to facilitate the puller claws to have focal points and facilitate disassembly. When the bearing is large or the amount of interference is large, the flexible coil induction heating method can be used to disassemble by heating the outer diameter of the box body, using the principle of thermal expansion and contraction.
