Proper gearbox maintenance can save both time and money, as well as lower the risk of catastrophic failure that could halt operations for days at a time.
Cyclo drives are integral parts of machinery used for rubber processing and tire manufacturing industries. Able to handle high loads, they’re perfect for Banbury mixers, calenders, sheeters and tire building machines.
Rubber Processing Gearbox Repairs
Lip seals are under-appreciated gearbox components that play an essential role in leak-free operation, providing vital protection from moisture intrusion while simultaneously increasing gearbox lifespan, leading to less unplanned downtime and maintenance expenses.
Rubber industry machines place tremendous demands on their entire power-trains. Gearboxes – generally speed reducers – must withstand unpredictable loads with possible overloads while operators face the pressure to increase durability, reliability, and efficiency.
Gearboxes with flexible pins are an excellent solution to reduce vibration and noise during operations, and many Wikov planetary gears such as those found in their Orbi-fleX catalog range come equipped with this solution.

Gearbox renewal allows you to extend the lifespan and reduce downtime for your equipment, while making your plant operations run more efficiently and quieter. Renovating your gearbox also ensures it operates more efficiently and quieter, helping your plant run safely and smoothly.
Rubber industry applications present formidable powertrain challenges for their power-trains. Gearboxes – often acting as speed reducers – must withstand unpredictable loading with potential overloads while operators must increase durability and reliability while decreasing maintenance costs and operational downtime.
Vilem Rosko received his degree in Automotive, Combustion Engine and Railway Engineering at the Czech Technical University in Prague before joining Wikov Industries as an employee in 2013. Since joining, he has performed design studies and delivered projects for numerous planetary gearbox projects within both automotive production (both mass produced as well as niche market) as well as general industrial sectors.
Rubber Processing Gearbox Rebuild
If you need your rubber processing gearbox upgraded, look for a company with strict protocols in place and that can offer warranties to protect you if something should go wrong in the future. Ultimately this could save money if a problem develops with your gearbox in future.
Profit margins in the rubber and tire industries are tight, making it important that equipment runs uninterrupted at all times without breakdowns or stoppages. Cyclo drives make this possible as their wear evenness provides ample warning of impending failure, unlike conventional parallel shaft designs which may not give as much notice of impending failures.
Gearboxes utilized in the rubber industry for mixers, two-roll mills and calender machines must withstand uneven loading and regular overloads while maintaining long life cycles with low maintenance costs. Noise, vibration and harshness management must also be provided with minimal impact to machine performance.
Rubber Processing Gearbox Refurbishment
Renewing a gearbox can significantly decrease your downtime and save both time and money in repair costs, production delays caused by equipment breakdown, as well as improving overall business operations and safety.
Repair services offered include machining, grinding, balancing, resurfacing, overhauling, modification and restoration for aerospace, automotive, building and construction, electronics, food processing, hydraulics marine military mining oil & gas pipeline industries as well as vibration analysis, failure analysis reconditioning CNC machining stress relief repair for any size or type of gear box including bevel custom miter gear drives plus their engineering team can design build and test gearboxes. They specialize in vibration & failure analysis reconditioning balancing CNC machining stress relief repair solutions while they offer repair solutions for every size or type of gearbox imaginable – providing vibration & failure analysis vibration and failure analysis as well as performing vibration/failure analysis vibration/failure analyses of gearbox failure analyses on failure analysis as well as stress relief repairs that include vibration & failure analysis as well as vibration/failure analysis reconditioning balancing CNC machining as stress relief measures; additionally they also produce custom made gear drives such as bevel, custom miter gear drives while their engineering team designs builds and tests gearboxes in house!
Rubber Processing Gearbox Overhaul
Rubber industry gearboxes must meet stringent durability, life and efficiency criteria while offering low noise and vibration behavior. Parallel shafts may not meet these demands effectively while maintaining high torque capacity – hence why planetary gears have become the preferred option in recent years. There has been a noticeable cross-industry shift away from parallel shafts towards planetary gears in recent years.
An industrial gearbox that fails can quickly disrupt production, leading to unexpected downtime that can be costly for small businesses with tight profit margins. Reconditioning offers an affordable alternative to replacing gearboxes. Plus, it saves both time and money because reconditioned gearboxes arrive much more quickly than new OEM products do.
