THE INFLUENCE OF LUBRICATION ON VIBRATIONS AND THE THERMAL STATE OF THE TRANSMISSION GEAR OF A BELT CONVEYOR DRIVE

Journal Title: Tribologia - Year 2010, Vol 233, Issue 5

Abstract

The paper presents the results of the examination of the influence of lubricating oil viscosity on the vibration level of a two-stage gear transmission working in a belt-conveyor power transmission system. Three classes of oil viscosity were taken into consideration during the research: VG 46, VG 68, VG 150. The dependence of root-meansquare value (RMS value) of the frame vibration amplitude upon the working viscosity of the mentioned oil classes was defined with the help of a MD-54 portable vibration meter. Oil working viscosity varies with change of temperature in transmission working cycle. The research findings show that the application of oil with a higher viscosity class causes reduction of vibration and temperature level of working transmission.<br/><br/>
