What are the effects of transmission oil leakage?
1 Answers
Transmission oil leakage has the following effects: 1. If oil leaks from multiple locations in the transmission and the housing temperature is relatively high, it is usually caused by the vent plug on the transmission cover being blocked by dust and mud, which reduces ventilation efficiency; 2. The heat and oil vapor generated by the gears inside the housing during high-load, high-speed rotation cannot be dissipated in time, leading to higher internal pressure than the external atmospheric pressure and elevated oil temperature, which causes the lubricating oil to become overly thin; 3. After the lubricating oil leaks, it will result in a shortage of gear lubricating oil, leading to premature wear and damage to components such as gears and bearings, shortening the service life of the transmission, while also polluting the environment.
