Under normal conditions, the temperature rise of a gear motor is around 60°C. If it exceeds 80°C, it is considered abnormal heating. A gear motor is also called a gear reduction motor or geared motor. During operation, while electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy, part of it is also converted into heat, causing the motor to heat up. This is referred to as temperature rise. The main causes of abnormal heating are as follows:
First, the motor runs continuously for a long time and is overloaded. Therefore, if the motor needs to operate continuously for extended periods, selecting a motor with sufficient power is necessary to prevent overload and abnormal heating.
Second, foreign objects block the rotating parts of the motor.
Third, excessive dust enters the motor, reducing the insulation performance of the coils and increasing the motor's heat generation.
Based on the above causes, when using gear motors in daily operation, regular maintenance should be strengthened. Protective devices should be installed on the equipment. If the motor needs to operate in an exposed environment, a protective mesh should be added to prevent foreign objects from entering the motor.
