Maintenance & Servicing

The oil in your gearbox does more than just lubricate — it also carries heat away. When oil gets contaminated, friction heat builds up rapidly at gear meshing points and bearing raceways. This not only damages gears and bearings but also leads to severe overheating and eventual failure. That’s why your gearbox needs regular oil changes and scheduled maintenance — just like your car.

Not every gearbox manufacturer does this. So why do we spend hours running our gearboxes on the test stand? Today, let’s talk about what test running is really about.

What exactly are we testing for?

A test run isn’t just about powering up the gearbox and letting it spin. It’s about simulating how it will perform on your production line. During these 4 to 6 hours, we focus on four key aspects:
