If there is dirt and impurities inside the Storz coupling, it will indeed have a negative impact on its use. The following is a specific impact analysis:
Accelerated wear: Dirt and impurities accumulate inside the coupling, exacerbating friction and wear between the various components of the coupling. Especially when the particle size of these impurities is large, they may directly scratch the contact surface of the coupling, cause to a decrease in coupling performance and even premature failure.
Affects lubrication: The normal operation of couplings usually requires good lubrication. The presence of dirt and impurities can contaminate lubricating oil and reduce its lubrication effect. This not only increases the operating resistance of the coupling, but may also cause faults such as overheating and jamming of the coupling due to poor lubrication.
Reduced transmission efficiency: Accumulation of dirt and impurities inside the coupling can alter its original transmission clearance and fit accuracy, cause to a decrease in transmission efficiency. This will affect the operational stability and efficiency of the entire mechanical system.
Causing malfunctions: Long term accumulation of dirt and impurities may also cause to other coupling failures, such as bearing damage, seal failure, etc. These faults not only increase maintenance costs, but may also affect production progress and product quality.
Therefore, in order to maintain the good performance and extend the service life of the Storz coupling, it is necessary to regularly clean and maintain it. Appropriate tools and cleaning agents should be used during cleaning, and cleaning agents containing corrosive substances such as acid and alkali should be avoided to prevent damage to the coupling. At the same time, attention should be paid to checking the lubrication condition of the coupling, replacing contaminated lubricating oil in a timely manner, and ensuring that the coupling is always in good working condition.
