There are occasions when industries need the facilities of gearbox repair for which you have to turn to precision engineering since such a repair would call for great accuracy. There is an element of urgency as well since these gearboxes invariably drive huge machines wherein you cannot afford to keep the machinery shut down for a too long period. In some precision engineering establishments you can get those gearboxes repaired that are rated to as much as 750 kW. The capability in metallurgical analysis in these establishments permits a quick assessment and every gear or shaft can be tested and analyzed in order to ensure that the gearbox repair that is carried out involves replacements with the same quality as well as hardness equivalent to that of the original components. Replacements are achieved of gears that are as large as 102”in diameter and the parts can also be heat treated or carburized as well in order to give an extended life to the gears that are damaged.
Metallurgical analysis in similar cases permits that the materials are identified with great accuracy. While traditionally the parts are broken down in order to assess the proportion of the constituents, the professional establishments on the other hand rely on X-ray fluorescence equipment for such estimations. With this kind of equipment, almost every metal and alloy can be assessed, without resorting to guesswork, immediately using NDT or Non Destructive Test methods. Such precision engineering establishments use only standard bearings and seals while carrying out the repair of gearboxes.
