Various faults occurring in lube oil pumps and their causes

The grease pump is an accessory of the lubrication system. Lubricating oil pumps are mainly used to convey lubricating oil in lubrication systems in various mechanical equipment. The AC lubricating oil pump is installed vertically on the top plate of the main oil tank, through the filter screen at the bottom of the oil pump to suck oil, the pump discharges oil to the main oil pump inlet pipe and through the oil cooler to the bearing lubricating oil mother pipe, the pump is controlled by a pressure switch and a three-position switch installed in the control room, and the outlet is equipped with a flap check valve to prevent the oil from flowing back from the system. Lube oil pump applications require a pump that can provide reliability and extend service life with a small amount of maintenance. A typical lube oil pump must also be able to operate over a wide range of temperature and liquid viscosity conditions.

The function of the lubrication pump: 1. The use of microcomputer control display to adjust intermittent oil supply, standby and working time adjustment range is large, applicable to a wide range of equipment. 2. Equipped with oil shortage alarm system, which can remind the operator to replenish grease in time. 3. Equipped with one-way control valve and damping distribution system, which can fully ensure the supply of lubricating oil at each point. 4. Equipped with two-stage filter, which can effectively prevent impurities from entering, ensure clean grease and prevent mechanical wear.

So what are the failures of the lubricating oil pump? First, no oil discharge or less oil discharge. Reasons: 1. The sucked in too high lubricant exceeds the rated amount. 2. Air leakage occurs in the pipe during inhalation. 3. The direction of rotation is not correct, resulting in the blockage of the suction pipe or the closure of this valve. 5. The liquid temperature is low, so that the viscosity increases. 6. The gear and pump body are seriously damaged. The solution is: 1. Increase the oil absorption surface or reduce the pipe resistance. 2. Check whether each joint is leaking or leaking, and add asbestos and other sealed materials to seal it. 3. Correct the steering in the direction indicated by the pump. 4. Clear the blockage and open the valve. 5. Preheat the liquid, if it is impossible, reduce the discharge pressure and reduce the oil discharge 6. Disassemble and check the relevant other parts and replace them. Second, seal oil leakage. Reason: 1. The shaft seal is not adjusted well. 2. The sealing ring is worn, resulting in an increase in the gap. 3. The friction surface of the static ring and the moving ring of the mechanical seal is damaged or there are defects such as burrs and scratches. Method: 1. Readjust. 2. Tighten the nut or replace the sealing ring. 3. Replace the dynamic and static ring or regrind. Third, the vibration is large or the noise is loud.

Causes: 1. The suction mesh or filter screen is blocked. 2. The straw protrudes into the sump shallower. 3. Pipe into the air. 4. The resistance of the discharge pipe is too large. 5. Gears, bearings or side plates are seriously worn. Its corresponding solution: 1. Remove the dirt on the filter screen. 2. The suction pipe should extend into the oil pool for about 0.5 meters. 3. Check each connection to make it sealed. 4. Check the pipes and valves, and discharge the blockage, or adjust the pipeline to reduce elbows, valves, etc. 5. Replace new gears and bearings.
