Proper maintenance is essential to ensure that your industrial gearbox delivers reliable performance throughout its service life. Here are the most important maintenance practices to follow:

• Regular lubrication oil checks — check oil level and quality at regular intervals
• Oil changes — change gearbox oil as per the manufacturer’s recommended intervals
• Breather checks — ensure the gearbox breather is clean and free from blockage
• Temperature monitoring — regularly check gearbox operating temperature
• Vibration monitoring — unusual vibration may indicate bearing or gear wear
• Seal inspection — check input and output shaft seals for oil leaks
• Alignment checks — ensure the gearbox is correctly aligned with the motor and driven machine

Following these maintenance practices will help you extend the life of your gearbox and avoid costly unplanned shutdowns.
