Shaft-mounted gear drives come in various sizes to meet various applications and are often found with electric motors or conveyor belts to reduce speed, increase torque, alter drive direction or run two loads from one motor.
Monitoring gear teeth, bearings and housings on an ongoing basis is vitally important to their optimal operation and will help prevent premature wear on reducers due to mechanical or thermal stress. Checking lubrication levels as well as making sure the reducer can withstand stresses from mechanical or thermal stress will help avoid premature wear on reducers.
Shaft Mounted Gearbox Repairs
Failure of a shaft mount speed reducer can mean costly production disruption and costly downtime, but Geartec offers Brevini industrial gear repair services to quickly get you back up and running again.
Regular maintenance can help avoid unexpected downtime and extend the lifespan of your equipment, helping avoid unexpected repairs. As part of that effort, inspecting gears for backlash and end play as well as using a dial indicator to check temperature changes is key to protecting and prolonging equipment. Inspecting gears for backlash and end play as well as using marking compounds on internal bearings and housings with marking compounds is another great step to take to maintain peak condition for equipment performance. Cleaning regularly also reduces food and grease build-up risks while using PasMac lengthen a short chain-and-sprocket shaft lengthening creates safer maintenance environment – steps which could significantly lengthen its lifetime over its predecessors! Taken all together they could significantly extend its life for many speed reducers!

Traditional gear drives have traditionally been connected to their applications using flexible couplings or parallel shafts with interlinked sprockets, requiring precise alignment and extensive guarding measures in order to protect operators from injuries.
Shaft-mounted speed reducers offer many advantages for installation and drive efficiency, such as eliminating additional transmission elements and streamlining initial set up, but are vulnerable to fretting corrosion issues that could compromise their operation.
Fretting corrosion results when relative movements between hollow gearbox shaft and solid customer shaft cause microwelding, not dependent on water ingress and can even occur in completely dry environments. Fretting corrosion can be prevented with good preventive maintenance practices in place.
Shaft Mounted Gearbox Rebuilding
Remanufacturing typically entails replacing all normal wear parts and machining major components, as well as upgrading gears, shafting, gaskets/seals and gasketing/seals to increase performance while decreasing maintenance costs.
Monitor your gearbox regularly; an increase in temperature may indicate something is amiss; examine internal gears for signs of backlash, end play or tooth damage as well as using a dial indicator to track any axial movement on selector shafts.
If your gear drive is experiencing issues that cannot be remedied through repairs, it may be time to replace it with a new unit. Be sure to consider its application and cost before making this decision; rebuilding may often be more economical.
Shaft Mounted Gearbox Refurbishment
Shaft-mounted speed reducers are complex systems of many moving parts that must work seamlessly together for them to operate effectively, and any component not functioning as designed could transmit its problems directly into the reducer and cause noise and vibration issues. When this occurs, it’s vitally important that any potential issues are quickly identified and resolved.
Monitor the gearbox temperature closely as an increase can indicate a problem with internal gears or bearings. Also inspect any signs of pitting or spiraling on internal gears to check their integrity.
Last, but not least, it is essential to inspect the shaft mounting for signs of damage using either an infrared gun or micrometer. Any damaged components should be replaced immediately to save money in the long run.
Shaft Mounted Gearbox Reconditioning
Shaft mount gear drives are an increasingly popular choice for conveyor applications, providing cleaner layout and reduced maintenance and repair costs while increasing safety. Furthermore, this form of drive is more energy-efficient than chains and sprockets.
A shaft mounted gear reducer can be easily upgraded with various accessories, including improved lubrication and temperature sensors, to increase performance. Furthermore, its load capacity may even be upgraded; furthermore it can be repaired to further enhance its functionality.
Reconditioning a shaft mount gear reducer involves replacing worn components such as bearings, gaskets and seals with new ones that meet new specifications or by making modifications that meet specific customer requirements. Reconditioning also improves efficiency by reducing noise and vibration while helping avoid downtime and increasing productivity – this process involves disassembling the unit to find its source before performing any needed repairs.
