As the main component of the rotary evaporator, the gear motor is also the main tool for controlling the rotational speed of the rotary bottle. If the motor malfunctions, it will affect the experimental results.
The following are the reasons for the gear motor malfunction.
1. The rotating evaporator gear motor is overloaded for a long time, resulting in excessive temperature rise, edge damage, and reduced service life of the gear motor.
2. Failure to properly clean the gear motor and deformation of motor components.
3. The bearing is damaged during the operation of the gearbox.
4. The bearing raceway is damaged during operation, resulting in high-temperature deformation of the bearing.
5. The working temperature of the rotating evaporator gear motor is too high, and the bearings are not lubricated in a timely manner, resulting in a shortage of oil.
6. The bearing itself has manufacturing quality issues, such as ineffective rotation, excessive clearance, deformation of the cage, etc.
7. The rotating evaporator does not work for a long time, causing the lubricating grease to deteriorate and the bearings to corrode but not be repaired.
