Main Causes of Gearbox Failures

The proper operation of gearboxes depends not only on high-quality components but also on strict installation and maintenance practices. Issues such as incorrect installation of seals or the use of low-quality seals can compromise gearbox sealing, leading to leaks and, ultimately, accelerated wear of internal components. Another critical factor is the selection of the appropriate lubricant oil; using substandard oil can result in excessive friction and overheating, while improper clearance adjustments between elements can cause premature wear and operational failures.

Improper operating conditions, such as over-torque, are equally harmful, as is the misalignment of machines connected to the gearbox. This misalignment, combined with failures in the flexible elements of couplings and incorrect application of the service factor, can lead to excessive vibrations and additional wear, directly impacting the gearbox’s lifespan. Furthermore, incorrect gearbox installation can compromise alignment and proper support, contributing to structural and operational issues.
