Problems and solutions of electric actuator in use

2022-11-19

Understanding the problems that are easy to occur in various stages of the use of equipment such as electric actuators is very helpful for us to effectively avoid these problems. However, many friends who are responsible for this aspect may not have a special understanding of related equipment, so it is difficult to consider some details. So today we are going to have a comprehensive understanding of the failures and specific solutions of this kind of equipment.



1: Failure during commissioning

The electric actuator needs to be debugged according to the specific production conditions and use environment before it is officially used. In the commissioning stage, if problems occur, it is relatively difficult to deal with them. Common failures include serious leakage, missing or wrong spring installation of some components, jamming or action failure of dirty moving mechanism, etc. If such problems are encountered at this stage, they should be handled carefully. Relevant parts should be checked one by one to determine where the specific problems are before maintenance. However, another easy way is to exchange goods. It is convenient to replace the equipment just entering the commissioning stage.



2: Faults at the initial and intermediate stages of operation

The common faults of electric actuators in the early or middle period of operation are mainly caused by oil leakage due to damage of a few seals due to quality problems, or instability of some working elements due to falling off of some existing magazines. It is relatively simple to deal with this kind of problem. Generally, some small parts have problems, so it is OK to replace them, and the specific operation is not difficult. After all, the equipment is in the best operating state at this time, and there is basically no major problem.



3: Equipment late failure

The common faults of electric actuators in the later period of operation are poor position feedback contact, decreased accuracy and stability, and decreased work efficiency. These problems are caused by the long service life of the equipment, aging or looseness of parts. If you want to solve these problems, you need to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the equipment, replace or repair the failed parts. All problems found should be solved, otherwise, for the subsequent normal use, there will be more trouble, and it will be more difficult to adjust.



4: Accidental failure

In addition to the above faults that are easy to occur in the fixed stage, electric actuators may also have some accidental faults during use. The causes of such faults are relatively common. Human and non-human factors may cause such problems, such as brake pad wear, seal failure, poor contact during position feedback, etc., which are relatively easy to troubleshoot, After troubleshooting, it is OK to carry out detailed maintenance.



There are certain differences in the problems that are easy to occur in different stages of the electric actuator. The problems that occur in the early stage are relatively easy to solve. In the later stage, because the equipment has been used for a relatively long time, the important components may usually have some wear or failure. Once such situations occur, the relevant parts must be replaced and adjusted in a timely manner, so that the subsequent use of the equipment will not be affected, It is a very important part.
