AI Technical Summary
In existing gear reducers, wear between the shaft and the housing leads to gaps, affecting transmission efficiency and possibly introducing debris, resulting in wear and instability of the machine.
A flow channel and annular groove are arranged in the housing, and a ball is connected in the annular groove and the shaft is slidly connected to the shaft. Lubricating oil is input through the oil inlet. The lubricating oil moves along the flow channel to the annular groove to reduce wear between the shaft and the housing. At the same time, a pipe and a frame are arranged on the cover to lubricate the gear transmission.
Effectively reduce wear between the shaft and the housing, maintain a tight connection, prevent the shell from being stuck, ensure the smooth operation of the reducer, and facilitate cleaning and maintenance.
