Repair Procedure:
1.Fits:
- Checking fits and leakage from the fits if any. If leakage, need to repair with oil seals/sealant and required machining.
2.Shafting:
- Repair may be made by plating and grinding, or machining and sleeving.
- Will be straight and finished in accordance with tolerances and finish specifications as indicated on appropriate drawings.
- New shafting provided will match the specifications and dimensions of the original part as per customer print.
- Exposed threads, shaft ends and couplings will be protected with an anti-rust protection coating prior to shipping your Gear Box.
3.Gearing:
- Will be dimensionally inspected to customer prints, manufacturers’ prints, or reverse engineered.
- New gearing provided will meet or exceed the specifications and dimensions of the original parts as per customer print.
4.Gearbox Housing, Cases:
- All bolts, studs, pipe plugs, and other fittings will be removed and the holes re-tapped as necessary.
- Bolts, studs, and pipe fittings may be reused if in good condition.
- Replacement bolts, studs, and pipe fittings will be of equivalent grade and material unless otherwise specified.
- Split housing jointing surfaces will be machined / ground as necessary.
- Bearing cases will be checked and machined as necessary
5.Assembly and Test Procedures:
- All seals, shims, and gaskets will be replaced
- All bearings will be replaced
- All hardware will be reused or replaced depending upon condition.
- All repaired and overhauled units will be run tested to check contact patterns, clearances, backlash, and freedom of movement.
- When pressure lubricated units are involved, we will pressure test the unit when applicable.
6.Painting and Identification:
All speed reducers will have:
- Exterior surfaces cleaned of all loose scale and rust.
- Entire Housing surfaces cleaned of all dirt and oil.
- One coat of light blue enamel applied on the exterior, unless otherwise specified by the customer.
7.A new identification tag will be installed to each overhauled speed reducer with the following information:
- Date of rebuilt, Our serial number (to claim repair warranty)
8.Test Run Procedure:
- Firmly mount gearbox to be tested to run test stand.
- Fill the unit with lubrication
- Attach the oil pumping station to the unit if required.
- Hook up all run test equipment.
- Check and note temperature.
- Start test motor and set rpm to the gearbox requirements.
- Check all sealed areas for any oil leakage.
- Gearbox bearing temperature will be checked and noted at several intervals during testing.
- Vibration and other nondestructive testing per customer requirements are available
9.Shipment:
- All openings are properly protected with plugs or cover.
- All units are shipped dry from our factory. The unit shall be marked to indicate that lubricant must be added prior to start of operation
