27 steps of the Gearbox Repair and rebuilding

 27 steps of the Gearbox Repair and rebuilding:

Step 1 Cleaning exterior of Gearbox and identification.

Step 2 Remove all bolts from the gearbox.

Step 3 Disassembly for Gearbox preliminary evaluation of the condition and repair required

Step 4 Mag inspect Gearbox.

Step 5 check all Gears.

Step 6 Customer communication of health of the Gearbox.

Step 7 Parts to be repaired or, reverse engineered parts where needed required for Gearbox rebuild.

Step 8 Failure analysis during complete disassembly and evaluation of the component wear and damage.



Step 9 Cleaning all internal components and housing.

Step 10 Check all bearings diameters in house.

Step 11 Check all shafts

Step 12 inspect all Gears.

Step 13 Set up check line bore of the gearbox.

Step 14 Repair and rebuild Gears back to O.E.M

Step 15 Replacing all bearings seals and gaskets

Step 16 Repair and rebuild all shafts again to O.E.M

Step 17 Realigning all gears shafts and bearings back to O.E.M

Step 18 Put a dial indicator on each rod and Ck end bearings clearance.

Step 19 Rebuild worn out and damaged surfaces.

Step 20 Reverse engineer and manufacture new parts when O.E.M parts are unavailable or lead time is not acceptable.

Step 21 Assembly of the Gearbox per O.E.M specifications and engineering instructions assuring required fit of components and considering field application of the Gearbox repair.

Step 22 Sandblast all internal and external gearbox.

Step 23 Paint internal gearbox.

Step 24 Reassemble gearbox tighten all bolts.

Step 25 Put vibration analysis probes to each bearing area

Step 26 Install gearbox on a test machine.

Step 27 Paint external gearbox.

John Crane's Type 28 Dry Gas Seals: How Does It Work?

How Does It Work? Highest Pressure Non-Contacting, Dry-Running Gas Seal Type 28 compressor dry-running gas seals have been the industry standard since the early 1980s for gas-handling turbomachinery. Supported by John Crane's patented design features, these seals are non-contacting in operation. During dynamic operation, the mating ring/seat and primary ring/face maintain a sealing gap of approximately 0.0002 in./5 microns, thereby eliminating wear. These seals eliminate seal oil contamination and reduce maintenance costs and downtime. John Crane's highly engineered Type 28 series gas seals incorporate patented spiral-groove technology, which provides the most efficient method for lifting and maintaining separation of seal faces during dynamic operation. Grooves on one side of the seal face direct gas inward toward a non-grooved portion of the face. The gas flowing across the face generates a pressure that maintains a minute gap between the faces, optimizing flui...

Pump Shaft Breakage: Case Studies and Solutions

By NTS Pump shaft breakage is a common issue that can cause costly downtime and repairs in various industries. In this article, we will explore several case studies of pump shaft breakage and the solutions implemented to prevent future failures. Case Study 1: Chemical Processing Plant A chemical processing plant experienced repeated pump shaft breakages in their cooling water pumps. Investigation revealed that the pumps were not properly aligned with the motor and had excessive vibration due to the misalignment. This caused the pump shaft to fatigue and break over time. The problem was resolved by realigning the pumps and installing vibration monitoring equipment to detect any future misalignment or excessive vibration. Case Study 2: Wastewater Treatment Plant A wastewater treatment plant had issues with pump shaft breakage in their sludge pumps. The pumps were designed with a straight shaft and lacked a flexible coupling, causing excessive stress and vibration on the pump sha...

Benefits of Remanufacturing bearings

Replacing bearings can prove to be expensive, both in new bearing cost and lost productivity. Some manufacturer takes bearings and expertly remanufactures them to like-new condition for extended service.

What does The term ‘maintenance’ mean ?

The term ‘maintenance’ means to keep the equipment in operational condition or repair it to its operational mode. Main objective of the maintenance is to have increased availability of production systems, with increased safety and optimized cost.

How To Troubleshoot the Effective Maintenance

Knowledge of effective troubleshooting practices can go a long way toward getting equipment back on line quickly. Unfortunately, due to many reasons troubleshooting occupies too much of a technician's time. You might consider these six key elements to improve your troubleshooting skills: Understand the system Understand the problem and history Eliminate the obvious Develop possible causes and theories Eliminate causes, start with what is easy, or likely Validate and document the solution Firstly, if you do not understand the system and how it functions, you will be thrashing around in the dark. I found the best time to understand was while the equipment was running and producing product. Time spent studying the process while the equipment was running paid huge benefits when issues arose. It was always beneficial to listen closely to what the operator saw, heard, noticed, and did, just before the problem occurred. I learned quickly that a good operator was a great asset. ...
