Three ways to make the most of your gearbox purchase
In 2019, capital expenditures (CapEx) — or funds used to acquire, improve or maintain a company’s physical assets — for top mining companies grew by over 10 percent, reaching $49.billion. While gearbox spend can be about 3-5 percent of the cost of a typical mining application, they can often be the linchpin of the operation. Gearbox failure is not an option when keeping production running. To ensure your company will get a good return on investment (ROI) and turn those expenses into profit, follow these critical steps on the pre-commissioning, commissioning and post-commissioning of the machine set. 1. Use precision installation techniques with documentation The Operating and Maintenance manual typically provided by the manufacturer gives the proper procedures for startup, operation and even long-term storage. Scott Arnett, National Aftermarket Operations Manager, says, "one of the most common forms of failure we see with gearboxes relates to misalignment, whether on the input or output side." Misalignment can lead to preloaded bearings and seal failures and will severely reduce the life of… Keep Reading

8 questions to ask yourself before replacing a gearbox
The time has come. This specific gearbox has possibly been around before you started working at your facility. It's frequently having issues like mechanical failures and needs more maintenance than your team has time to complete. The CAD drawings might be missing, or the manufacturer is no longer in business to replace the gearbox or components if you wanted to. If this situation sounds like yours, it may be time to replace your gearbox. Before you do, ask yourself these eight questions and read the Gearbox Replacement Planning Guide from Sumitomo Drive Technologies before replacing your gearbox. 1. Are you happy with the performance and life cycle of your gearbox? Technology has changed drastically in the last 20 years. Gearing and gearbox components are no different. Efficiencies in gearing and motor performance have improved, seals and seal materials are better, synthetic lubrication can extend life dramatically, and condition monitoring can keep you from shutting down unexpectedly. Would you take your 20-year-old Ford or Chevy to the dealer and ask them… Keep Reading
