High-speed gears are subject to intensive operational stress. To meet these rigorous demands, extreme care must be taken during their design and manufacturing.
Regularly reviewing performance benchmarks for thermal and mechanical ratings can help identify any potential issues before they become major concerns, including lubrication, bearing and seal inspections.
High Speed Gearbox Repairs
High Speed Helical/Bevel Gearboxes, Worm Gearboxes and Reducers are among the most commonly repaired industrial gear drives by AIRS. Used to transfer energy between electric motors, pumps, compressors, fans, and extruders they require balanced hardware such as male or female fits to function effectively.
Different gear drives experience unique conditions that impact their lifespans. Gear drives exposed to frequent start/stop cycles, cyclic loads or higher peak loads are likely to experience greater levels of stress than if operating continuously.
Regular maintenance can detect damage before it causes significant downtime or costly repairs, while using appropriate lubricants and adhering to recommended oil change schedules can improve efficiency and extend gear drive lifespan.
High Speed Gearbox Services
Gearboxes are an integral component of many industrial machines and equipment. To operate optimally, they require regular service to remain performing optimally and achieve peak efficiency.
If your gearbox is overheating, if possible, use an infrared gun to monitor its surface temperature or observe for any burning smells and discolourations of paint. Furthermore, perform vibration analysis to verify that all internal gears and bearings are operating normally.
If your gearbox is leaking oil, this could be caused by seal failure and can be costly as the lost oil must be replaced and poses a fire safety risk. Regular inspections and proper maintenance may help reduce this problem; for example by inspecting the lubrication system, checking oil levels and monitoring for signs of leakage.
High Speed Gearbox Rebuild
Gearboxes are essential components of industrial equipment, whose performance directly affects productivity in any plant. A failed gear reducer can cause expensive production delays; oftentimes it is better to repair an already failing gearbox instead of purchasing another one altogether.
Expert service providers can use advanced inspection methods to help identify the root causes of gearbox failure. Once identified, they can suggest repair or upgrade solutions tailored to meet both your needs and budget.
This service is ideal for petrochemical and refining customers seeking to restore existing Sundyne gearboxes to original factory specifications, without purchasing additional process piping and installation hardware. Not only can this save both time and money; but it can also reduce downtime for your plant while increasing equipment reliability.
High Speed Gearbox Refurbishment
If you want to save money and avoid the hassle of purchasing a new gearbox, refurbished ones may be a better solution. They typically cost half as much and come guaranteed to work like new, with warranties to protect you should any problems arise.
Refurbished industrial gearboxes can be utilized in numerous applications, including pumps, compressors, fans, extruders, conveyors and conveyor belts. In addition, they can be used for power transmission with prime movers or generators. Gearboxes must be regularly checked for lubrication and proper functioning – an effective method is monitoring temperature and vibration levels to detect problems early and reduce service downtime.
High Speed Gearbox Overhaul
Gearboxes are among the most crucial components in industrial applications. Exposing them to intensive stresses, shocks and wear can cause irreparable damage if improper maintenance practices are used – however with proper care and maintenance practices in place your gearbox can last much longer and reduce operational costs significantly.
After an initial inspection, the rebuild process begins by ordering all necessary bearings, seals, breathers and sight glasses. Next comes laser checking core lines for parallelism while checking pinions for free float and shaft end play – followed by conducting no-load spin tests at their rated speeds to verify correct operation.
Industrial gearboxes rely on couplings to connect them with motors, mixers and other equipment. Authorized service providers specialize in the repair, remanufacture and refurbishment of all kinds of coupling hardware as well as upgrading old systems with more advanced features.
