During daily use, the high-speed shaft is located at the highest point of the reducer, and the oil level must always be kept high to ensure its full lubrication. However, the oil level will gradually decrease due to the temperature of the working environment, resulting in frequent damage to the high-speed shaft due to insufficient lubrication, which in turn shortens the life of the reducer and the straightening machine.
