When a gearbox seizes or a bearing begins to fail, your entire operation can grind to a halt. These are not just components, but critical mechanical systems that transfer power, manage loads, and ensure smooth, continuous production. That’s why professional gearbox & bearing services are essential for minimizing downtime and maximizing equipment longevity.

At APS Industrial Services, we provide comprehensive gearbox and bearing replacement, reinstallation, and alignment services backed by years of field-tested experience and precision-driven methodology.

Why Gearbox & Bearing Services Are Essential

Gearboxes and bearings are subjected to extreme stresses, loads, and environmental conditions. Over time, even the most robust systems begin to show signs of fatigue, including:

• Excessive vibration or heat

• Gear slippage or torque loss

• Shaft misalignment

• Increased noise or chatter

Left unchecked, these issues can lead to catastrophic failure, unscheduled shutdowns, and long-term damage to surrounding components.

Industry data shows that over 40% of industrial equipment failures are traced back to worn or misaligned bearings and gearboxes.

A proactive replacement and reinstallation service prevents costly breakdowns and ensures your equipment operates at peak performance.

What We Offer: Complete Gearbox & Bearing Services

APS Industrial Services delivers end-to-end solutions, from removal and inspection to reinstallation and testing. Our core services include:

1. Gearbox Replacement and Rebuild

• Identification and sourcing of OEM or equivalent units

• Safe extraction and rigging of existing gearboxes

• Shaft and keyway inspection

• Precision installation and mechanical fastening

• Torque calibration and testing under load

Whether you’re dealing with worm drives, helical gears, or planetary gearboxes, our team can match, replace, or rebuild your unit to exact specifications.

2. Bearing Removal and Installation

• Bearing extraction using hydraulic or mechanical tools

• Shaft and housing preparation (de-burring, cleaning, tolerance verification)

• Installation using proper heating or pressing techniques

• Lubrication selection and application

• Bearing preload or clearance setting to OEM specs

We service ball bearings, roller bearings, thrust bearings, and custom assemblies used across conveyor systems, motors, and high-speed equipment.

3. Shaft Alignment and System Rebalancing

Proper alignment is non-negotiable. A newly installed gearbox or bearing will wear prematurely if shaft misalignment or structural distortion exists.

Using laser alignment systems and dial indicators, we ensure:

• Parallel and angular shaft alignment

• Proper coupling fitment

• Vibration reduction and load balancing

• Shaft concentricity and axial positioning

4. On-Site or In-Shop Service Options

Depending on your facility’s needs, we offer:

• Field service with mobile tools and rigging equipment

• In-shop rebuilds with controlled testing environments

• 24/7 emergency services to limit downtime

• Preventative maintenance support for gearbox and bearing health monitoring
