When we find that the harmonic reducer is hot, we can check the lubricating oil first to see if the machine is short of lubricating oil. If the lubricating oil is too little or dry, we can add lubricating oil appropriately.
If the temperature of the harmonic reducer still hasn't dropped after adding lubricating oil, it means it's not a lubricating oil problem. Let's continue to investigate. Then you can look at the running time of the machine, because the machine has been running continuously for a long time, and it is normal to generate heat after overloading. The solution to this problem is simple, just turn off the machine for a period of time.
Furthermore, whether the installation of the harmonic reducer and the machine is suitable, if it is not suitable, it will also cause heat generation. This problem is the same as the problem of the eccentric bearing of the harmonic reducer. , If you don’t understand it yourself, you can consider finding the reducer manufacturer for assistance in testing.

As long as you find the problem, it is easy to solve it. If you are not professional about the reducer, after checking the lubricating oil problem and whether it has been working for a long time, if you have not solved it, you can find a professional harmonic reducer manufacturer. It is conducive to quick resolution, and there will be no situation where a small loss makes a big difference.
