Gear Logic Extended Warranty by Philadelphia Gear

Providing gearing solutions for more than a century.

Unique among extended warranties, GearLogic allows Philadelphia Gear to offer its customers a solution to the ongoing problem of preserving and maintaining gearboxes while in storage. Enclosed drives that have GearLogic protection will enable customers to warehouse them for up to two years before putting them back into service.

Additionally, if the GearLogic application is part of a Philadelphia Gear overhaul, or is applied to a new Philadelphia, Western or WesTech brand gearbox, the customer also gets a two year operational warranty that begins once the unit is installed. Therefore, even if a unit sits on the shelf for as long as two years before installation, it will still carry Philadelphia Gear’s “Best in Industry” operational warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions About GearLogic

How long does the GearLogic treatment last?

The initial application of GearLogic protects against corrosion for two years while gearboxes are in storage.

Is GearLogic renewable?

Yes. If the gearbox has not been returned to service within the initial 24-month period, it can be sent back to Philadelphia Gear for a re-application of the GearLogic process.

Is GearLogic for only Philadelphia Gear brand gearboxes?

No. In fact, any brand gearbox that is currently being stored at your facility is probably
a candidate for GearLogic.

Will GearLogic work with synthetic oils?

At this point in time, GearLogic is only intended for use with mineral oils. We are still in the research and development phase of providing a GearLogic solution for use with synthetic oils.

Can the GearLogic treatment be applied at my location or while a gearbox is in service?

Unfortunately, because of the specialized equipment necessary to perform the GearLogic process, gearboxes must be shipped back to the nearest Philadelphia Gear Regional Service Center for treatment.

Does the application of the GearLogic process require
an in-shop overhaul?

No. Gearboxes can be sent directly from your site to Philadelphia Gear for GearLogic treatment. Of course, in such instances, GearLogic will not carry the additional 24-month operational warranty.

What size gearboxes are eligible to be treated with GearLogic?

Virtually any size gearbox is a candidate for the GearLogic long-term preservation warranty.

When a gearbox is returned to service, is it necessary to flush out the preservative before returning it to service?

No. Simply replace the hygroscopic breather element and Plexiglas inspection cover and fill the unit with the proper amount and type of lubricant and “flip the switch.”

Do I have to rotate shafts and do other PM work to gearboxes in storage after they’ve been preserved with GearLogic?

No. GearLogic was designed to be as user friendly as possible and requires no shaft rotation. The only “maintenance” necessary is to periodically check the desiccant bags to see if they need replacement.

How much does a GearLogic treatment cost?

GearLogic is intended to be a value-added service that can provide our customers with increased peace of mind for a relatively minimal cost.

Once gearbox is preserved, a hygroscopic
breather is installed to extract moisture and
particulate from the air while gearbox is
being stored.

After GearLogic application, a Plexiglas cover
is temporarily installed in place of the metal inspection cover, so that desiccant bags can
be monitored to detect moisture build-up.
