Gearbox Oil Analysis Services

Gearbox oil analysis services can be an extremely viable means for preventing gearbox failure, reducing downtime and controlling maintenance costs in both industrial and heavy-duty applications. Gearboxes are often critical to production in any application and can prove very costly in the event of unplanned downtime and the associated losses in productivity. Implementing a routine gearbox oil analysis service programme to monitor gearbox wear and contamination can prove to be an extremely viable means for preventing gearbox failure, reducing downtime and controlling maintenance costs. Although these systems are typically thought to be capable of enduring higher concentrations of wear and contamination than turbines or hydraulic systems, the bearings are not. The wearing of metal surfaces, caused by various forms of contamination, can cause bearing failure, which can adversely affect gear shaft alignment and eventually cause the entire gear system to fail. The most significant differences are in testing industrial gearbox oils for viscosity at 40°C and Total Acid Number vs. viscosity at 100°C and Total Base Number in heavy duty applications. To determine the presence of wear debris and to identify the type of wear occurring, testing should include Particle Count and Direct Read Ferrography as well as Analytical Ferrography to qualify the type of wear and its possible sources.

Gear oils are primarily used within vehicles and other industrial and mobile machinery for transmissions, differentials etc. Most of the problems that arise in Gearbox systems are due to contamination of the Gear oil as well as metal-to-metal contact of the gear which leads to expensive and unwanted downtime of the machinery. To ensure that the health of the equipment is at optimum and to protect the machinery from uncontrolled wear, overheating and contamination of the gear system it is essential that a timely sampling and in-depth analysis is conducted. Gear oil testing and analysis have become an indisposable part of industries as it greatly improves the efficiency and lifespan of the machinery.
