Gear Repair Analysis
Diehl Engineering Company will minimize your financial loss if a gear does fail in service. We will inspect and photograph the failed parts, determine why the gear failed and what can be done to prevent future failure, assist in achieving timely and economical repairs, and provide a clear and concise report to aid in the recovery of losses due to the failure.
Often, we can shorten the turnaround of failed gears from months to days by providing the technical expertise needed to manufacture or repair gears locally.
Gear Failure Prevention
Typically, a gear set in distress will begin to show signs of trouble long before a critical failure occurs. During this time, corrective measures can be taken that will significantly prolong gear life.
Diehl Engineering will inspect and document gear condition as found in service, set up a program to monitor the condition over time, and make detailed, practical recommendations on ways to correct any adverse conditions in order to extend gear life.
