Oil Analysis: By analyzing particulate
content and concentration in the oil, we are able to monitor
the condition of an operating gearbox. Further analysis
of the oil yields vital information concerning the condition
of the lubricant used in the equipment.
Failure Analysis: Root cause
determination of a failure is critical in confidently returning
a gearbox to service. Our service engineers look at the
entire system, from operational loads, equipment design,
equipment maintenance, and the failed components to determine
failure cause and permanent corrective action.
Design Upgrades: Equipment upgrades
are critical to today's production-driven manufacturing
environment, supporting changing process requirements including
expanding capacity, increasing reliability, and reducing
maintenance costs.
Educational
Services: General programs for site personnel are
available for the maintenance and servicing of gearboxes.
In addition, Philadelphia Gear will develop custom training
programs for particular applications, or classes of machinery.
Courses are designed to balance the level of technical detail
with the practical information necessary for proper operation,
servicing, or maintenance of power transmission equipment.
