Gear Inspection
Situation
Bearings and gears represent an enormous investment in your business. Over time, conditions and everyday threats such as overload, misalignment, improper oil temperature, water from coolant leaks or from excessive condensation and inadequate filtration practices can damage these critical components.
Solution
During these services, our engineers:
- Inspect, report, and document the condition of gears, bearings, lubricant, lubrication system, seals, and housings of critical plant gear or bearing units.
- Use inspection data to help establish the optimum replacement criteria for bearings and/or gears and identify changes, if any, to maintenance practices to improve the life and performance of the gear or bearing units.
- Complement existing condition monitoring programs, such as oil analysis and vibration measurements, by correlating related data with inspection findings
Estimate the impact on gear or bearing life of recommended improvements in operation and maintenance practices.
How You Benefit
Potential benefits could include the following:
- Reduced unscheduled downtime
- Increased productive capacity of equipment
- Lower maintenance labor costs
- Fewer gear or bearing replacements
- More effective maintenance control
- Safety and environmental improvements
