Open Gear Inspection Program

The girth gear and pinion are the heart of most mill and kiln drive systems and the most costly. In addition, the girth gear is large and difficult to store for long periods of time. These characteristics make it very unattractive to maintain a girth gear in spare parts inventory. Still, many insurance companies insist on detailed contingency plans for coping with gear failure leading to lost production.

Our gear specialists and service engineers can help you develop a gear maintenance program suitable for your application. They can identify warning signs, show you how to correct the problem, and recommend repairs, upgrades, and/or retrofits to improve performance and maximize the useful life of your gear set while complementing your plant's existing maintenance practices.
