1. Keep the forging clean and lubricated
Before checking the forging, the surface of the forging should be cleaned first, and then the oil seal of the forging and its surrounding parts should be carefully checked. If there are bad symptoms, be sure to replace the oil seal. The bad oil seal will cause damage, which will make the forging cloud abnormal and cause the equipment to stop.
2. Cover the exposed forging carefully
Do not expose forgings to contaminants or moisture when inspecting them.If work is interrupted, cover the machine with oiled paper, plastic film or similar material.If the open forging is cleaned without disassembly and inspection is possible, clean it with a coated brush dipped in petroleum solvent and then dry it with a piece of cloth that does not fluff or blow dry it with compressed air (be careful not to have the forging component start to rotate).Use a small mirror and a probe similar to those used by dentists to examine the forging's track surfaces, retainers and beads.Do not clean forgings with infilled seals or dustproof;Just wipe the outside surface.The forging should be replaced if it is damaged.Replacement of forgings during regular downtime is far more economical than the loss of sudden downtime that can be selected due to array damage.
3. Check forgings for lubricants
Lubricants are important not only for forgings, but for all forgings.Please note, however, that too much grease should not be added to the forgings.Then it's time to change the lubricant for the forging.After removing the old oil from the oil lubricated forgings, if possible, refill with fresh oil and allow the machine to rotate at a low speed for a few minutes.Allow the oil to collect any remaining contaminants as much as possible, then purge the oil.When replacing grease for forgings lubricated with grease, the dispenser used should avoid any contact with cotton material to any part of the forging.Because these residual fibers can wedge between the rolling parts and cause damage, this is especially important for forgings.
