Capture duty data
We document torque in Nm, input kW, output rpm, duty cycle and environmental exposure so the first review is anchored in numbers.
Cone Drive service begins with evidence. A repair request is not routed as a generic spare inquiry until an engineer has reviewed nameplate photos, shaft position, mounting orientation, lubricant condition, duty cycle and the event that stopped the asset. That sequence matters because double-enveloping worm gearing can fail from overload, poor alignment, contamination, inadequate lubrication or a duty cycle that changed after installation. Treating every gearbox repair as a parts sale hides the root cause and often sends the same problem back to the line. Our service table separates emergency replacement, rebuild assessment, reverse engineering and new selection review so plant teams know what data unlocks the next step. For OEM projects, we map ratio, output torque, input power, thermal exposure and expected start-stop frequency before choosing a reducer family. For MRO teams, we prioritize shutdown timing, available spares, inspection photos and whether the existing installation can accept a drop-in replacement. The engineering file can include bearing L10 assumptions, AGMA contact notes, seal package options and a lubricant interval statement. When test evidence is requested, quality staff can prepare ISO 9001:2015 records, CE Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC declarations or MIL-STD-810 summaries if those requirements were part of the specification. The result is a service path that is useful to maintenance, purchasing and design engineering at the same time.
| Service path | Required input | Engineering output |
|---|---|---|
| Gearbox repair triage | Nameplate, failure photos, oil history, operating rpm | Repair, replace or redesign recommendation |
| Solar tracker selection | Holding torque, stow angle, wind case, ambient range | Reducer family, ratio band and seal package |
| Radar positioner review | Load inertia, backlash expectation, shock case | Inspection plan and quality documentation list |
| Legacy interchange | Envelope drawing, shaft details, mounting constraints | Drop-in risk note and modification options |
We document torque in Nm, input kW, output rpm, duty cycle and environmental exposure so the first review is anchored in numbers.
Gear contact, bearing support, seal condition and lubricant interval are checked against the intended service factor and installation orientation.
The response separates stocked spares, rebuild kits, engineered replacements and OEM redesign cases, with owner responsibilities clearly stated.
Send the evidence package and the application context. We will route emergency spares separately from OEM redesign work.
