Fast. Reliable. Competent.

In many cases, a gearbox repair is the quicker and more economical solution. You will receive a detailed damage report with a quotation from us. On this basis, you decide between a new gearbox and a repair.

Over 50 years of experience in the assembly of gearboxes and components speak for themselves. Assembling our own gearboxes is part of our daily business. Every move is perfect and we are proud of the quality and performance of our employees. Our team has a wealth of experience and expertise to carry out assembly and repair work regardless of brand, type or year of manufacture. Following a gearbox inspection, we are able to provide you with detailed information on the condition of your industrial gearbox. We develop customised maintenance recommendations and point out incipient gearbox damage at an early stage.

A regular gearbox service minimises the risk of unexpected breakdowns and avoids costly repairs.

Early detection of damage such as bearing damage, grey leakage or pitting means that repairs can be carried out on schedule and cost-effectively, avoiding unplanned downtime and stoppages due to a lack of spare parts.

After our professional gearbox service, we can provide you with detailed information on the condition of your gearbox. We then draw up customised maintenance recommendations and provide early warning of incipient gearbox damage.

This technology enables us to precisely assess the condition of gearbox components such as roller bearings and gears, which would not be accessible without time-consuming partial disassembly.

Using a state-of-the-art digital videoscope, which delivers pin-sharp images and videos through even the smallest openings of just 4 mm, we inspect all components in the gearbox. The degree of wear or damage is documented in detail.

Once the inspection is complete, you will receive a comprehensive report in the form of an illustrated expert opinion documenting the condition of the transmission and containing recommendations for action.
On request, we will provide you with a quotation for any necessary repairs or overhauls, either directly on site or at our premises, depending on the damage.

Spare parts service

  • Special bearings for industrial gearboxes
  • Customised production of gear sets, toothing sets and gears
  • Replacement gearboxes

The rapid availability of spare parts significantly reduces the downtime of production systems.

We offer you a wide range of spare parts, such as gear sets, shafts or special bearings.

If no design drawings of the gearing are available, we will measure the gearing parts as part of the next gearbox inspection or repair. We then create precise production drawings that serve as the basis for the manufacture of suitable replacement gears.

For very failure-critical applications, we recommend having spare parts manufactured in advance or storing them in order to have them available more quickly if the worst comes to the worst and to minimise or prevent any system downtimes.

Early detection of gearbox damage

Recognising signs of incipient gearbox damage at an early stage is crucial in order to avoid major damage and longer interruptions to operation with production downtime.

The most common warning signs of incipient gearbox damage include

  • Increased noise development in the gearbox
  • Rise in bearing temperature
  • Unusual vibrations or oscillations in the gearbox
  • Conspicuous findings in oil samples, such as a high metal content or clear discolouration

Timely diagnosis can prevent major consequential damage, such as destruction of the gearing, as well as unplanned production downtime. Many gearbox faults can be repaired with little effort if detected early, often without having to remove the gearbox from the system. In many cases, repairs can be carried out directly on site.

The most common cause of gearbox damage is lubrication problems. Contaminated, incorrect, old or insufficient gearbox oil is responsible for more than two thirds of all gearbox damage. Other causes can be installation errors, mechanical overload or material defects in the gearing.
