27 steps of the Gearbox Repair and rebuilding

 27 steps of the Gearbox Repair and rebuilding:

Step 1 Cleaning exterior of Gearbox and identification.

Step 2 Remove all bolts from the gearbox.

Step 3 Disassembly for Gearbox preliminary evaluation of the condition and repair required

Step 4 Mag inspect Gearbox.

Step 5 check all Gears.

Step 6 Customer communication of health of the Gearbox.

Step 7 Parts to be repaired or, reverse engineered parts where needed required for Gearbox rebuild.

Step 8 Failure analysis during complete disassembly and evaluation of the component wear and damage.



Step 9 Cleaning all internal components and housing.

Step 10 Check all bearings diameters in house.

Step 11 Check all shafts

Step 12 inspect all Gears.

Step 13 Set up check line bore of the gearbox.

Step 14 Repair and rebuild Gears back to O.E.M

Step 15 Replacing all bearings seals and gaskets

Step 16 Repair and rebuild all shafts again to O.E.M

Step 17 Realigning all gears shafts and bearings back to O.E.M

Step 18 Put a dial indicator on each rod and Ck end bearings clearance.

Step 19 Rebuild worn out and damaged surfaces.

Step 20 Reverse engineer and manufacture new parts when O.E.M parts are unavailable or lead time is not acceptable.

Step 21 Assembly of the Gearbox per O.E.M specifications and engineering instructions assuring required fit of components and considering field application of the Gearbox repair.

Step 22 Sandblast all internal and external gearbox.

Step 23 Paint internal gearbox.

Step 24 Reassemble gearbox tighten all bolts.

Step 25 Put vibration analysis probes to each bearing area

Step 26 Install gearbox on a test machine.

Step 27 Paint external gearbox.

Maintenance 4.0 Implementation Handbook (pdf)

WHAT IS MAINTENANCE 4.0? Industry 4.0 is a name given to the current trend of automation and data exchange in industrial technologies. It includes the Industrial Internet of things (IIoT), wireless sensors, cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. Industry 4.0 is commonly referred to as the fourth industrial revolution. Maintenance 4.0 is a machine-assisted digital version of all the things we have been doing for the past forty years as humans to ensure our assets deliver value for our organization. Maintenance 4.0 includes a holistic view of sources of data, ways to connect, ways to collect, ways to analyze and recommended actions to take in order to ensure asset function (reliability) and value (asset management) are digitally assisted. For example, traditional Maintenance 1.0 includes sending highly-trained specialists to collect machinery vibration analysis readings on pumps, motors and gearboxes. Maintenance 4.0 includes a wireless vibration sensor conne

John Crane's Type 28 Dry Gas Seals: How Does It Work?

How Does It Work? Highest Pressure Non-Contacting, Dry-Running Gas Seal Type 28 compressor dry-running gas seals have been the industry standard since the early 1980s for gas-handling turbomachinery. Supported by John Crane's patented design features, these seals are non-contacting in operation. During dynamic operation, the mating ring/seat and primary ring/face maintain a sealing gap of approximately 0.0002 in./5 microns, thereby eliminating wear. These seals eliminate seal oil contamination and reduce maintenance costs and downtime. John Crane's highly engineered Type 28 series gas seals incorporate patented spiral-groove technology, which provides the most efficient method for lifting and maintaining separation of seal faces during dynamic operation. Grooves on one side of the seal face direct gas inward toward a non-grooved portion of the face. The gas flowing across the face generates a pressure that maintains a minute gap between the faces, optimizing flui

Pump Shaft Breakage: Case Studies and Solutions

By NTS Pump shaft breakage is a common issue that can cause costly downtime and repairs in various industries. In this article, we will explore several case studies of pump shaft breakage and the solutions implemented to prevent future failures. Case Study 1: Chemical Processing Plant A chemical processing plant experienced repeated pump shaft breakages in their cooling water pumps. Investigation revealed that the pumps were not properly aligned with the motor and had excessive vibration due to the misalignment. This caused the pump shaft to fatigue and break over time. The problem was resolved by realigning the pumps and installing vibration monitoring equipment to detect any future misalignment or excessive vibration. Case Study 2: Wastewater Treatment Plant A wastewater treatment plant had issues with pump shaft breakage in their sludge pumps. The pumps were designed with a straight shaft and lacked a flexible coupling, causing excessive stress and vibration on the pump sha

Technical questions with answers on gas turbines

By NTS. What is a gas turbine? A gas turbine is an engine that converts the energy from a flow of gas into mechanical energy. How does a gas turbine work? Gas turbines work on the Brayton cycle, which involves compressing air, mixing it with fuel, and igniting the mixture to create a high-temperature, high-pressure gas. This gas expands through a turbine, which generates mechanical energy that can be used to power a variety of machines and equipment. What are the different types of gas turbines? There are three main types of gas turbines: aeroderivative , industrial, and heavy-duty. Aeroderivative gas turbines are used in aviation and small-scale power generation. Industrial gas turbines are used in power generation and other industrial applications. Heavy-duty gas turbines are typically used in large power plants. What are the main components of a gas turbine? The main components of a gas turbine include the compressor, combustion chamb
