Complete gearbox overhauls include disassembly, cleaning, component evaluation, reconditioning or replacement, precision machining, reassembly, lubrication, and testing to restore reliable operation in demanding industrial applications.
Routine gearbox maintenance evaluates gears, bearings, shafts, seals, and lubrication systems to catch developing problems early. Proactive attention helps reduce unexpected cooling tower drive failures and costly downtime.
Worn or damaged gearbox components are evaluated for restoration through machining, refurbishment, and appropriate repair techniques. Reconditioning can control replacement costs while extending the service life of repairable parts.
When replacement parts are worn, unavailable, or obsolete, components may be sourced from OEMs or manufactured to original or reverse-engineered requirements for a dependable fit and function.
Repaired gearboxes undergo post-reassembly performance testing and quality verification before return to service. This step helps confirm the rebuilt unit is operating at its expected performance level.

We inspect the gearbox and evaluate gears, shafts, bearings, seals, housings, and lubrication-related components. Our findings identify the failure mechanism, document damaged parts, and establish a repair scope tailored to the unit’s operating condition.
