Among them, the working temperature that the bearings can withstand is generally around 65°C, and the limit temperature is around 90°C; and in the lubricating oil, the viscosity of the lubricating oil represents the resistance to the flow of the lubricating oil. It is an important characteristic of the lubricating oil. It also changes with temperature and is closely related to and affected by temperature. However, in a high-temperature production environment, the operating temperature of the reducer can reach as high as 90°C, and even exceed 110°C in a sealed environment. In order to ensure the normal operation of the reducer in a high-temperature production environment and reduce the failure rate of the reducer in a high-temperature environment, the reducer needs to be cooled.
