A Unique Challenge: A 55-Year-Old Gearbox
A recent project of ours involved repairing a gearbox that was originally sold and manufactured in 1969, making it 55 years old. Due to the age of the drive, all components other than the ID of the input drive was imperial. Therefore wherever possible, our team repaired existing shafts, but for the parts that were beyond saving, we manufactured new components to the original specifications.
James Technical Sales, “We’re equipped to take on a variety of reduction gearboxes that have a wide range of application.
Precision Manufacturing and Cost Savings
Using the old gears as templates, we were able to precisely manufacture new gears, updating the machine to a more modern standard. This approach not only restored the functionality of the gearbox but also saved the customer over ￡5000 compared to the cost of replacing the unit with a new one.
