Why Preventive Maintenance Matters for Gearbox Longevity

Gearboxes are the backbone of many industrial machines, yet they’re often neglected until a failure occurs. Preventive maintenance is essential to ensure smooth operation, reduce costly breakdowns, and extend service life. Regular checks on lubrication levels, temperature, alignment, and noise can help detect issues before they escalate. Simple tasks like oil replacement, bolt tightening, and […]

5 Common Causes of Gearbox Failures and How to Prevent Them

Gearbox failures can lead to costly downtime and equipment damage in industrial operations. The five most common causes include inadequate lubrication, misalignment, overload, contamination, and poor maintenance practices. Without proper lubrication, internal components wear quickly due to friction and heat. Misalignment—whether during installation or from operational vibration—puts uneven stress on gears and bearings. Overloading a […]
