Repair & Rebuild

What is Gearbox Repair?

Gearbox repair is the meticulous process of restoring a damaged or worn-out gearbox to its original condition, ensuring it performs optimally and extends its lifespan. This comprehensive process involves several critical steps: a thorough inspection to identify issues, disassembly of the gearbox, meticulous cleaning, repair or replacement of damaged components, and precise reassembly. For industrial gearboxes, which are pivotal to the operation of heavy machinery and equipment, gearbox repair is a cost-effective alternative to purchasing a new unit. By opting for gearbox repair, businesses can maintain the efficiency and reliability of their industrial gearboxes without incurring the high costs associated with new equipment.

Types of Gearbox Repair

Gearbox repair encompasses a range of services tailored to the specific needs of the equipment:

• Minor Repairs: These involve quick fixes such as replacing seals or bearings to get the gearbox operational swiftly.
• Major Repairs: These are more extensive and may include replacing gears or shafts, often requiring a complete overhaul of the gearbox.
• Rebuilds: This comprehensive service involves disassembling the gearbox entirely, inspecting and repairing or replacing all parts, and reassembling it to a like-new condition.
• Refurbishment: This process restores the gearbox to its original state by replacing worn-out parts and re-machining surfaces, ensuring it operates as efficiently as when it was first manufactured.

Each type of repair is designed to address specific issues, ensuring that the gearbox functions optimally and has an extended service life.

• Leaks or Oil Spills: These suggest that seals or gaskets may be failing.
• Overheating or Excessive Temperature: This can indicate lubrication problems or internal friction.
• Reduced Performance or Efficiency: A drop in performance can signal wear and tear on internal components.
