Causes of Premature Output Bearing Wear

TROUBLESHOOTING Output bearing wear is often linked to radial load, axial load, overhung distance, contamination, shock or mounting alignment. Quick answer Causes of Premature Output Bearing Wear should be evaluated from the real load and motion conditions, not from a...

Why a Servo Gearbox Runs Hot Under Cyclic Duty

TROUBLESHOOTING Cyclic servo motion can generate heat through repeated acceleration, gear mesh losses, bearing load and motor-side dynamics even when average output torque looks modest. Quick answer Why a Servo Gearbox Runs Hot Under Cyclic Duty should be evaluated...

Noise and Vibration Checks for Planetary Gearboxes

MAINTENANCE Noise and vibration diagnosis becomes much faster when speed, load and frequency are recorded rather than described only as loud or rough. Quick answer Noise and Vibration Checks for Planetary Gearboxes should be evaluated from the real load and motion...
