Why the dry screw vacuum pump has fatigue damage

Because the dry-type screw vacuum pump is environmentally friendly, oil-free, pollution-free, efficient and easy to maintain, more and more industries choose to use the screw vacuum pump. The dry-type screw vacuum pump can pump out the gas containing a large amount of steam and a small amount of dust. When it fails, it is partly caused by fatigue damage. Here is a brief introduction to the causes of equipment fatigue damage:

Why the dry screw vacuum pump has fatigue damage

1. Pump shaft:
1) Due to the dry screw vacuum pump shaft in the operation process, the gas in the pump cavity causes the force on the pump shaft, which is also called radial force.
2) In addition to the radial force in the vacuum pump, the unreasonable structure is an important reason for the fatigue failure of the pump shaft.

2. After corrosion and wear, the fit clearance increases, and some are ground into oval shaft holes, which not only affects the performance, but also intensifies the vibration and promotes fatigue fracture.

3. In the design, excessive abrupt change of section shall be avoided, and fillet connection shall be applied instead of sharp corner at the transition. The surface finish shall not be too low, especially where the shaft is easy to break.

4. The vacuum pump shaft has not been heat treated, so the fatigue strength is low. In order to prevent fracture, the pump shaft shall at least be subject to quenching and tempering treatment, and nitriding treatment shall be carried out where conditions permit.

5. During machining, the circumferential machining at the transition of different shaft diameters shall ensure the quality, and shall be carried out in strict accordance with the size and gloss required in the drawings. The pump shaft surface and transition surface shall be free of knife marks, scratches, bumps and other defects.

6. The fatigue damage of pump shaft is very harmful to production. The solutions are as follows:
The fatigue strength of the pump shaft shall be checked according to the radial force. When using corrosive gas and liquid ring, corresponding corrosion-resistant materials shall be used. The pump shaft shall be subject to quenching and tempering treatment, and the quality must be guaranteed during processing.

Therefore, the dry screw vacuum pump should follow the correct steps and methods in daily use, and should not be disassembled at will. EVP vacuum pump manufacturer provides you with one-stop service for vacuum pump products.
