Gear units will naturally suffer wear-and-tear over time, and will require refurbishment at some time in their lifecycle. Ignoring gearbox issues can result in some serious unwanted outcomes, such as:
• Unscheduled downtime due to gear unit failure
• Excessive ongoing maintenance and short-term fixes
• Higher energy usage due to a decrease in gear unit efficiency
A gearbox overhaul can be an expensive exercise, especially when shutdown, removal and transportation costs are considered on top of the overhaul itself, so getting it right the first time is important.
