| In the age of preventive maintenance and the optimization of lifecycle costs, gear unit diagnostics is becoming more and more important. Therefore, we try to determine the ideal time for revisions. Too early would mean unnecessary costs; too late could result in disastrous consequences. |

Gear units are designed for a certain lifetime. In industrial plants running 24 hours a day, this usually means 100'000 hours. For seasonal utilization, such as in the cable car sector, it means 20'000-25'000 hours. Thereafter, the risk of unexpected bearing defects increases.
Contact us to replace bearing and seal assemblies. Due to the supply situation in the raw materials sector and in production, gear parts are sometimes subject to long delivery times. The sometimes long delivery times of bearings must also be noted. This makes time and condition oriented maintenance even more important.

Various diagnostic methods
Gear units can be subjected to various diagnostic methods. Periodic oil analyses that are carried out by the system operator and that are checked by a specialist form a solid foundation for this. Acoustic and visual inspections are generally carried out by a gear unit specialist. Kissling provides this service as a so-called visual control. For complete analyses, including bearing evaluation, or in the case of systems that can be switched off only with difficulty or that are problematic to check visually (such as in the case of planetary gear units), it is a good idea to carry out a “KissCom analysis” (oscillation measurement).

Diagnostics seminar
In one day seminars, Kissling presents the various diagnostics methods that we use. Participants become familiar with the advantages and disadvantages of the methods and receive useful tips on how they can plan and carry out optimum preventive maintenance measures for their machinery. The seminar strongly emphasizes the background of the oscillation analysis. You can download the registration for the next diagnostics seminar here.
