Sumitomo Drive gearboxes are engineered to withstand demanding industrial environments while optimizing energy efficiency.
When a gearbox malfunctions, the first priority of a shop should be restoring it back into use as quickly as possible – but this may not always be feasible.
Lubrication is integral to efficient performance. Without it, temperatures would quickly soar and components would disassemble before coming to a standstill.
Sumitomo Drive Gearbox Repairs
Industrial gear systems must withstand high speeds, extreme shock loads and fluctuating temperatures without failing, so it is imperative that they use the appropriate lubrication. Otherwise, components could quickly crack and collapse to an abrupt stop.
Regular oil analysis and trend monitoring of elementals and contaminants is vital in keeping equipment in pristine condition, extending its lifespan while preventing costly downtime.
National Gear provides comprehensive repairs for Sumitomo Drive equipment, such as inspection and troubleshooting services, component teardown, cleaning services, repair or replacement work, shaft accessory removal/replacement work, waste oil disposal and paint work. They can also offer condition monitoring, endoscopic inspections and measurement services on rotating equipment such as pumps, compressors, electric motors or turbines.
Sumitomo Drive Gearbox Services
Sumitomo Drive gearboxes have proven their reliability over many years of service at Safeco Field (now T-Mobile Park) retractable roof. One such gearbox has lasted 24 years without major repair requirements – evidence that proper selection and maintenance practices can reduce energy consumption while increasing equipment longevity.
Repairing gearboxes on a daily basis gives repair shops valuable insight into how OEM products perform in real life, while reviewing older gear sets helps OEMs optimize designs and materials.
Cyclo Sumitomo drives are much more resilient than their helical gear counterparts due to their unique cyclo disc and eccentric cam design, which enables high levels of torque transmission with five times more shock load tolerance compared to conventional gearboxes. Furthermore, energy consumption is reduced thanks to using commercially available shafting; eliminating two manufacturing processes.
Sumitomo Drive Gearbox Rebuilding
Midwest Power Products is an authorized dealer for Sumitomo brand gearboxes, gearmotors and reducers and can assist your company in finding exactly what is needed to keep its products moving at peak performance. Midwest Power Products carries all three products so we are here to assist you with whatever replacement or repair options may arise for them.
Maintain your equipment is clean and well lubricated to avoid premature wear and tear. Lubrication helps regulate temperatures and keeps components from cracking or collapsing altogether, while seals keep out pollutants while trapping in lubrication.
Our diagnostic engineers specialize in more than repairs and replacements; they also offer endoscopic inspections, monitoring, and measuring services for critical rotating equipment such as centrifuge drives, electric motors, pumps and compressors.
Sumitomo Drive Gearbox Refurbishment
Sumitomo Drive gearboxes can last a long time with proper care. Water, chemicals and pollutants must be kept to a minimum in order to preserve internal components such as seals that keep lubrication in while keeping out unwanted debris. If exposed for too long to such elements they could cause irreparable harm – including damage to seals that keep out contaminants that would wreak havoc with internal seals that help lubrication stay inside while simultaneously keeping out unwanted ones.
After performing an initial visual inspection, GearTec carefully disassembles the gearbox while taking great care to protect all components and catalog reusable parts. After disassembly, non-destructive testing of each pinion and shaft element, checking their size and geometry, will follow followed by no load spin tests at the maximum rated speed of the gearbox to confirm proper operation before shipment; these tests help avoid premature returns to service that would necessitate more costly repairs or replacement.
Sumitomo Drive Gearbox Reconditioning
Reconditioning gearboxes is an efficient and cost-effective solution to keep industrial machinery performing at its optimal levels. Gearbox reconditioning keeps equipment operating with maximum safety and efficiency levels.
An extensive inspection can reveal any serious or potential issues with the gearbox. As needed, repairs or replacement will be carried out to reduce downtime for machines and increase production.
Monitoring gearbox condition using various techniques – temperature, noise and used oil analysis among them – allows one to understand its condition over time. Trending helps determine how changes in environment, application or lubrication will influence its operation; with this information in hand it becomes possible to establish appropriate maintenance intervals for preventive care.
