Overheating of Heavy?Duty Electric Cylinders: Step?by?Step Troubleshooting & Handling
Glance over:- Release date:Aug 24, 2026【Big In Small

Overheating of heavy?duty electric cylinders shall be troubleshooted and resolved step?by?step according to actual conditions:

Step 1: Measure and evaluate temperatureUse a thermal gun to measure the actual surface temperature of the heavy?duty electric cylinder, especially the motor and cylinder body. If the temperature remains above 80?°C continuously, additional cooling devices such as cooling fans or water?cooled jackets must be installed.

Step 2: Check the lubrication condition of the heavy?duty electric cylinder

  • Confirm whether the correct grease has been replenished in accordance with the maintenance cycle (approximately every 2000 operating hours).
  • General No.3 lithium?based grease must be used. Grease commonly known as butter is strictly prohibited, as it will increase resistance, cause severe overheating and even component seizure.

Step 3: Re?verify operating conditions and loadCheck whether the current operating speed and load of the heavy?duty electric cylinder exceed the design capacity defined during selection. Prolonged overload operation is the primary cause of overheating.

Step 4: Inspect mechanical installationVerify the alignment of the electric cylinder installation. Check for extra radial force or misalignment stress. Improper installation will raise friction and trigger abnormal overheating.

Step 5: Troubleshoot the electrical systemCheck whether parameters of the servo drive are set correctly. Excessive gain or continuous stall torque output will also lead to motor overheating.

Summary of handling procedure: Measure temperature → Check lubrication → Verify load → Inspect installation → Check electrical system in sequence. If the problem persists after self?inspection, please contact our technical support for in?depth diagnosis.
