Reasons that may cause malfunctions in the Vibratory Bowl Feeder Cable Tie Machine
A significant cause of malfunctions in the Vibratory Bowl Feeder Cable Tie Machine is often overheating during operation. Now, let’s delve into the analysis together!
During the operation of our Vibratory Bowl Feeder Cable Tie Machine, we have specified regulations. For instance, the bearing temperature of the Vibratory Bowl Feeder Cable Tie Machine must not exceed the allowable value, and there should be no oil leakage at the edge of the bearing outer cover. By eliminating these two phenomena, there will be essentially no other reasons for malfunction. Therefore, let’s focus on analyzing the reasons for bearing heating.
There are many reasons for the overheating of bearings in the Vibratory Bowl Feeder Cable Tie Machine. Some common reasons include:
Firstly, imbalance between the inner and outer rings of the ball bearings is one of the reasons for heating. The imbalance between the inner and outer rings may originate from machining. Because the base and end caps of the Vibratory Bowl Feeder Cable Tie Machine are machined separately, there may be cases where the bearing holes on the two end caps are not coaxial (i.e., the centerlines are not on the same line). Additionally, poor installation, uneven tightening of screws on the end caps, dust, and dirt on the stopper, etc., may also cause imbalance between the inner and outer rings. If there is an imbalance between the inner and outer rings of the bearing, it will cause scraping between the steel balls and the inner and outer rings, increasing the conflict and causing heating. If no other reasons are found, clean and reinstall the machine mouth, and tighten the screws one by one in diagonal order. The minor errors formed during processing can be gradually improved due to the automatic adjustment effect.
Secondly, there may be conflicts between the bearing cover and the shaft. This could happen because the axis of the shaft during installation does not align with the axis of the mechanical equipment it drives, or because inaccuracies in machining cause eccentricity in the inner circle of the bearing cover, resulting in local conflicts between the bearing cover and the shaft. In mild cases, the bearing heats up, while in severe cases, smoke may occur, and in large high-speed motors, the contact areas may quickly turn red. In such cases, the machine should be stopped immediately, otherwise, it may cause the Vibratory Bowl Feeder Cable Tie Machine to burn out.
Another reason is excessive or insufficient lubricating oil, which also causes heating. Over time, the lubricating oil inside the bearing decreases, leading to insufficient lubrication and increased frictional losses, resulting in bearing heating. Prolonged operation with insufficient oil can lead to bearing damage. Overfilling with oil or using oil that is too viscous can also cause bearing overheating. Additionally, if impurities such as hard particles are mixed into the lubricating oil, if the bearing is not cleaned thoroughly, or if dirty oil is used to clean the bearing, leaving sand and iron filings inside the bearing, it will increase mechanical conflicts in the bearing, causing heating, and the effects of impurities will make the bearing susceptible to damage.
Lastly, if the belt is too tight or if the Vibratory Bowl Feeder Cable Tie Machine and the driven mechanical equipment are not on the same straight line, i.e., they are eccentric, it will increase the bearing load and cause heating.
