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.

UNDERSTANDING HYDRODYNAMIC BEARINGS

AN OVERVIEW OF HYDRODYNAMIC BEARINGS, THEIR DEFINITION, THEORY OF OPERATION AND TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS. BY AMR HATEM RASHED. Hydrodynamic bearings (also known as fluid film bearings) are often deployed as journal bearings. As such, they come in several types, including radial tilting pad bearings, thrust bearings for axial displacement and journal sleeve bearings. Journal sleeve bearings are typically used in low-speed and low-friction applications while radial tilting pad bearings are used for high-speed applications due to the high amplitude of vibrations. Thrust bearings, on the other hand, are generally employed for axial displacement in high-speed applications as they contain tilting pads that support high-thrust loading of rotors. Pivoted shoe journal bearing Pivoted shoe thrust bearing Frictionless support The journal bearing has several functions. It acts as frictionless support for the rotor while it is rotating. It cools down the rotor by transferring the heat energ...

9 principles of a modern preventive maintenance program

WRITEN BY: Erik Hupje, Roadtoreliability.com Whether you are developing a new maintenance program. Or improving the maintenance program for an existing plant. All reliable maintenance programs should be based on the following Principles of Modern Maintenance: Principle #1: Accept Failures Principle #2: Most Failures Are Not Age-Related Principle #3: Some Failures Matter More Than Others Principle #4: Parts Might Wear Out, But Your Equipment Breaks Down Principle #5: Hidden Failures Must Be Found Principle #6: Identical Equipment Does Not Mean Identical Maintenance Principle #7: “You Can’t Maintain Your Way To Reliability” Principle #8: Good Maintenance Programs Don’t Waste Your Resources Principle #9: Good Maintenance Programs Become Better Maintenance Programs As a Maintenance & Reliability professional, you must understand these principles. You must practice them. Principle #1: Accept failures Not all failures can be prevented by maintenance. Some fail...

Waukesha bearings: Fluid Film Bearings, Active Magnetic Bearings Systems, and Damper and Seal Technologies

Waukesha Bearings provides custom-engineered hydrodynamic fluid film bearings, active magnetic bearings systems, and damper and seal technologies for turbomachinery across the oil & gas, power generation, marine, and industrial markets. Engineers apply design codes and predictive tools to tailor thrust, journal, or combination bearings to achieve optimum performance across the machine operating range. The Waukesha Bearings Maxalign tilting pad journal bearing, for example, features a specialized ball and socket pivot, along with Directed Lubrication and trailing edge cooling to increase reliability and reduce power loss for rotating equipment with shaft diameters greater than 300 mm. Engineers optimize the bearing size and pad materials and tailor insulation, hydrostatic jacking, and instrumentation according to requirements. “Each application is unique so we design each bearing to meet performance requirements, whether they are tilt pad or fixed profile, babbitt, bronze, polym...

What is ISFD Bearings, how it works?

What is the ISFD Bearings? Integral squeeze film damper  ( ISFD) technology, a Flexure Pivot tilt pad journal bearing, provides precise stiffness and damping to increase the dynamic stability of the rotor/bearing system. Reduce Dynamic Bearing Forces ISFD technology reduces the dynamic load that is transmitted to the bearings, which reduces pedestal vibration and increases bearing life, particularly for rolling element bearings. For fluid film bearings, the technology can mitigate pivot wear and reduce babbitt fatigue. Decrease Unbalance Sensitivity ISFD technology helps reduce the sensitivity to unbalance, protecting impellers and seals from rubbing and increasing maintenance intervals. Versatile Design The ISFD design, manufactured through electrical discharge machining (EDM), can integrate the bearing and damper into one unit for a space-saving solution suitable for new and retrofit installations. ISFD technology can be used with tilt pad, Flexure Pivot tilt pad, fixed profile o...

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...
