Industrial Gearbox Rebuild & Maintenance

Not every gearbox needs to be replaced. Our gearbox rebuild services restore your existing equipment to like-new condition—at a fraction of the cost of buying new.

Our rebuild and maintenance process includes:

  • Complete teardown and inspection
  • Replacement of worn gears, bearings, and seals
  • Precision reassembly with proper alignment
  • Advanced testing and quality checks

Bearings are often at the center of gearbox performance issues. See our guide on bearings for gearbox to understand what to look for and how to select the right replacements.

We also offer predictive and preventive maintenance programs to catch problems early, avoid unexpected failures, and maximize the lifespan of your gearboxes.

Common Gearbox Problems

Two of the most common issues we see are fluid leaks and torque-speed imbalances:

  • Fluid leaks are one of the earliest warning signs of damage. Learn more in our article on gearbox leaking fluid.
  • Gearbox performance often comes down to torque versus speed balance. Our advanced guide on torque vs. speed explains how to diagnose and prevent issues.

FAQs – Industrial Gearbox Repair

What is included in industrial gearbox repair?

Industrial gearbox repair typically involves a full inspection, cleaning, and disassembly to identify worn or damaged components. Services may include bearing and seal replacement, gear regrinding or replacement, alignment corrections, lubrication system checks, and reassembly with precise tolerances. At Industrial Gearbox Solutions, we also conduct performance testing to ensure the repaired gearbox meets or exceeds original specifications.

When should I rebuild a gearbox instead of replacing it?

A gearbox rebuild is often the most cost-effective option when the core housing is intact, and only certain internal parts are worn. Rebuilds extend the service life of your existing unit while saving on the expense and lead times of a complete replacement. If damage is too severe or parts are obsolete, replacement may be recommended—but rebuilds are typically faster and less costly.

Do you offer emergency gearbox repair?

Yes. Our team provides emergency gearbox repair services designed to minimize downtime. We prioritize quick diagnostics, rapid parts sourcing or fabrication, and fast turnaround times. In many cases, emergency repairs can be completed in as little as 24–48 hours to get your operation running again.

How often should an industrial gearbox be serviced or maintained?

Most gearboxes should undergo routine maintenance at least once a year, depending on operating conditions. Preventive maintenance includes oil changes, vibration analysis, seal checks, and inspections for wear on gears and bearings. Heavy-duty or continuous-use gearboxes may require quarterly or semi-annual service to prevent costly breakdowns.

Can you repair gearboxes from any manufacturer?

Yes. We work with gearboxes from all major manufacturers, including right-angle, inline, and parallel shaft designs. Our expertise spans OEM and aftermarket units, and we can fabricate replacement parts when original components are unavailable.

What are the signs that a gearbox needs repair?

Common warning signs include fluid leaks, excessive vibration, unusual noise, overheating, and decreased efficiency. Ignoring these symptoms can lead to catastrophic failure. For more details, see our advanced guide on the signs of a faulty gearbox.
