When industry is looking at the best ways to increaseefficiency, reduce downtime and increase profitability, gearboxperformance and reliability are key factors. In most applicationsgearbox reliability is critical to the productivity of the overallplant operation. Repair is often required with a swift turn around,as down time is very expensive. Designing for repair, and writingeffective repair procedures, can speed the service time, andprovide a quality refurbishment. Minimizing down time and extendingservice life will contribute significantly to achieving the lowestoverall operation costs.
The best practices listed below are proven, effective methodsused to install and remove bearings, seals, gears, couplings andshafts within a gearbox. These techniques are not new, and areusually obtained by hard won experience. Collecting them in onelocation is an attempt to document the best practices and provide areference for design engineers. Engineers write the procedures forassembly and disassembly, they also dictate to the rest of thedesign team the design intent. Including features to facilitatedisassembly, minimizes repair cycle time and helps to preventdamage to components that could radically compromise their designlife or performance.
