Gearboxes

SUPPLYING GEAR BOXES IN LETHBRIDGE AND SURROUNDING AREAS TO BOOST YOUR PRODUCTIVITY

Gearboxes (or “gear reducers”) are essentially mechanical devices that increase a motor’s output torque or the speed of a motor as measured in RPM (revolutions per minute). On one end of your motor, there will be a shaft that attaches to the gearbox. The torque outputted is determined by the configuration of gears within that gearbox.

Southern Rewind fulfills many application demands by offering various gearboxes for commercial and industrial clients, such as paper mills, agricultural facilities, power plants, cement production, and food processing plants. We offer gearboxes/reducers from the top brands, including Teco Westinghouse and Varvel. If you need quality gearboxes in Lethbridge and surrounding areas, we are your one-stop solution.

KEEP YOUR GEARBOX IN GREAT SHAPE

To keep your gearbox perfectly operational, some degree of maintenance will be required. These include:

  • Keeping it clean — Look at the area around your gearbox. Is it dusty and dirty? Like most commercial and industrial facilities, dirt and dust are just a fact of life. But you can extend the lifespan of your gearbox by cleaning it off from time to time. It’s especially important to keep the breather free of debris.

  • Lubricating — Ensure your gearbox is regularly lubricated according to the manufacturer’s specified schedule. If you see any lubricants leaking from the input or output shaft, this is a clear indicator that your shaft seals are worn out. 

  • Avoiding overheating — If you see any discoloration, scorches, or signs of exterior distress, the gearbox should be removed from service until the cause of overheating is determined. 

  • Checking for gear wear and contact — Using an endoscope, you can check for signs of pitting and spalling. You should also make sure gear teeth are perfectly aligned using the engineer’s blue-pigmented paste. 

  • Avoiding vibration — No matter how well aligned your gears may be at standstill, vibration always causes excessive abrasion and wear. If you notice vibration, check how the gearbox is mounted and then try to rule out any type of misalignment with the gears, shaft, or other moving parts.

  • Following the ratings — Your gearbox should only be operated within the manufacturer’s specified thermal, mechanical, and power ratings.
