Is the rotating shaft of the equipment worn out?

Some of TSUKASA’s equipment models use an air-purge mechanism to protect the rotating shaft. This is to improve the sealing of the shaft with air pressure and prevent foreign matter from entering the shaft.

The seal ring blocks the entry of foreign material, and the air pressure barrier prevents powder and foreign material from entering the shaft.

The air tube is connected correctly
The solenoid valve is working properly

But if wear on the shaft is discovered...

Foreign matter may be clogging the tube connected to the seal section, preventing air from actually passing through.

To prevent such problems...

When performing maintenance on equipment, check the solenoid valve’s operating status and whether air is actually passing through.

There is an appropriate value for the air purge pressure setting. If it is too weak, the air purge will not work, and if it is too strong, it will cause accelerated wear on the shaft. Please check your instruction manual for the appropriate setting value.

The appropriate pressure setting values vary depending on the type of equipment and operating conditions. Also, if the shaft is worn, it may need to be replaced. If you have any problems, please feel free to contact TSUKASA.
