How To Maintain Spur Gears
Spur gears enable the vehicle to carry heavy loads. Additionally, spur gears allow equipment and machines to achieve superior productivity results in most manufacturing or logistics operations. However, these components wear out over time.
Check for debris
The number one enemy of any transmission system is debris and dust. These problematic particles can agglomerate and move spur gears. Also, they accelerate rust and corrosion, especially if you have uncoated gears. With this in mind, have your maintenance team remove and inspect your spur gears if possible to double-check for debris.
Check alignment
If you are hearing loud noises or experiencing low or no torque transmission, the spur gears are most likely misaligned. In fact, this problem is common in vehicles. Equipment that makes extensive use of spur lines for speed and torque transmission faces the same problem. So make sure you perform preventive maintenance frequently to ensure your systems are all in good working order.
Use lubricants where applicable
Lubricants are the lifelong companion of all machinery. Without proper lubrication, gears will wear and damage faster than gears with proper oil lubrication levels. Before changing or adding new oil to your gearbox and other machinery, be sure to check the manufacturer's lubrication guidelines.
Spurs are consumables
Most equipment and gear manufacturers treat spurs as consumables. Therefore, they hope that it will never outlive the actual engine, machine, or equipment. With this in mind, manufacturers always make sure to provide fully compatible alternatives when you need them. If you don't have replacement parts on hand, you can usually ask the gear manufacturer to make the parts you need.
