Common Industrial Gearbox Issues We Repair

• Bearing Failures: Resulting from wear, contamination, or improper lubrication—causing vibration, overheating, and noise.
• Gear Wear: Progressive wear decreases gearbox efficiency, increases noise, and can cause catastrophic failure.
• Seal Failures: Damaged seals lead to oil leaks, contamination, and damage to internal components.
• Shaft Failures: Fatigue, bending, or torsion failures can lead to seizures or complete shaft breakage.
• Overheating: Insufficient lubrication or cooling can severely damage internal components and compromise system integrity.
• Misalignment: Incorrect alignment accelerates component wear and results in inefficient gearbox operation.

Regular maintenance, lubrication, and condition monitoring are essential in extending gearbox service life and preventing costly failures.
