Checking
1. Common Checking process
Check all parts by visual check to see whether there is damage
or serious or uneven wear (parts needed be substituted by new
parts such as O-ring, oil seal and etc. shall be excluded).
Abandon the damaged or weary parts that will affect on their
performance. The check items are as follows:
Burr: tips protruded from the material regionally
Rag: broken small blocks or particles
Crack: surface thread showing the material is partly or
completely separated.
Excessive abrasionRefer to the serious or obvious abra-
sion beyond of application limit.
Reduction changeMaterial slip caused by the heavy
pressure on part of it.
adhesive bondingGranules of the soft metal are dis-
persed and bonded on the hard metal surface.
Ditch trance: partial crack or trough that means the material
transfer instead of material loss.
Pitting corrosionDamages to the metal surface caused by
pressure, which are displayed due to color change caused
by heat generated by metal friction.
Step weara weary step may be seen or felled between the
neighboring interface or between the non-touching face
due to the excessive wear.
Uneven wear: Partially, unevenly distributed wear, which
includes holes, bright spots, uneven polishing or other
visual drawbacks.
2. Gear or Chain sprocket tooth inspection
Check the gear and chain sprocket tooth according to the
following process:
(a) Normal gear shaving trace.
