Predictive Maintenance of Metallurgy Gearboxes: Spectral Analysis — Bently Nevada
Tooth wear, pitting and misalignment in rolling mill and metallurgical conveyor gearboxes — how Bently Nevada spectral analysis and System 1 detect faults weeks before failure.
EN version — draft. Ready to publish once kk/en routing (i18n) is implemented across the site.
A gearbox on a rolling mill, roll table drive or main metallurgical conveyor runs under impact and variable loads. Oil temperature, dust and misalignment after emergency repairs accelerate tooth wear. When the gearbox fails, the entire line stops; the cost of replacing a gear pair and downtime far exceeds a predictive maintenance programme.
