“Increase equipment reliability with proper lubricant analysis.”
Gearboxes are interconnected with other internal and external components of the machinery. A defective gearbox can reduce operating times or stop production entirely. Gearbox and transmission failures have a very high cost to repair, making proactive monitoring essential for any industrial operation.
Because gearboxes are constantly exposed to friction and heat, fluid properties break down over time under stress, solid contaminants, moisture, and high temperatures. If problems are detected early, maintenance costs are reduced, lubricant life is extended, and equipment lifespan increases significantly.
Select the right analysis package for your gearboxes. All packages include a digital report within 24-48 hours with maintenance recommendations from our certified tribologists.
For gearboxes, the standard monitoring frequency is Every 500 hr. Tribo-Labs specialists adjust this frequency based on the equipment model, application, environment, and age.
From the moment samples arrive at our laboratory, our accredited team processes and delivers the complete report in 24 to 48 hours, including measured values, alert limits, historical trends, and maintenance recommendations from our certified tribologists.
