The Reasons Why Screw shaft of Screw Conveyors Stops Rotating

 Generally, if screw shaft of screw conveyors stops rotating, it mainly caused by the following three reasons:

 

1. The size of conveying material is too big and can't pass through the intermediate bearing, material resistance here is too big which will lead to motor overload and stop operation. Then you must clean up the material inside the screw conveyors .
2. The place of intermediate bearing resistance is large, sealing damages. Material will go into the bearing which will lead to bearing stops rotation or bearing damages.

 

3. Bearing of gear motor burns out.
If the reducer bearing temperature rises too fast after start-up and along with abnormal noise and reducer vibration, at this time, you should stop the machine quickly and the reason may be caused by the following aspects:
1) If the reducer output shaft bearing temperature is high ,but input shaft bearing temperature is normal. This is because the screw shaft centerline offsets or reducer output shaft bearing damages, or head and tail bearing loosens. Here you need to loosen the coupling between reducer output shaft screw shaft, correct and install.
2) If the bearing temperature of reducer output shaft is normal, but input shaft temperature is high. This is because the motor fixed components loosen or reducer output shaft bearing damages, you need to loosen the coupling between reducer input shaft and the motor, correct and install.
3) If both of reducer output and input bearing temperature are too high. This is due to the loosening of fixed bolts on reducer or both ends of reducer bearing burn out, here you need to loosen the coupling on both sides of reducer ,correct and install.
