worm gearbox repairs rebuild services

 we provide industrial gearbox repairs, refurbishing, and reconditioning. This includes worm gearboxes. Worm gears are an old style of gear that works in an extremely simple manner - with a large diameter screw that meshes with teeth on the outside of a wheel to reduce speed while increasing torque; thus making this type of gear suitable for heavy duty operations.

These gears are usually constructed out of bronze to reduce friction between them and their respective worm wheels, although other metals like brass and copper may also be used; bronze remains the most widely-used choice due to its durability, strength, resilience, heat tolerance, lower costs compared with other options, as well as being less costly overall. Worm gears are commonly found in industries like mining, steel mills, food processing plants due to their ability to stand up to even extreme environments.

Industrial gearboxes can be prohibitively expensive to replace if damaged, making repair more cost-effective than buying a replacement unit. A new gearbox usually includes shipping costs, installation expenses and revenue lost from downtime associated with its installation - costs that easily outstrip those associated with repair or overhaul work.

Rebuilding or overhauling worm gearboxes can save 40%-50% over purchasing a new gearbox and also extend its lifespan considerably. When selecting a repair company, make sure they offer excellent reviews as well as providing warranties against their work - this way you know if the decision made was in your best interests and you're making informed choices.

GearTec begins any rebuild process with a meticulous cleaning of all gearbox components and oil. After disassembly with care and inspection for signs of damage, gears and pinions are removed from their housing to be verified using non-destructive reverse engineering equipment to confirm size, geometry/profile of reusable parts.

GearTec performs a complete inspection of gears, pinions and shafts for excessive wear and other defects before conducting a no-load spin test at maximum rated speed to verify proper functioning of all elements of the unit. Once complete, we securely transport it back to its designated facility.
