Periodic Upgrades

 
 

As part of the David Brown pedigree, Windserve has in-depth experience of a wide range of units from major gearbox OEMs. We can provide full technical reports and upgrade recommendations for all in-house refurbishment projects.

What’s more, we can design and manufacture new, upgraded components to ISO 81400-4:2005 quality standards, saving you time and money when it comes to replacing parts. Our upgrade capabilities include:

  • Upgrades to lubrication systems
  • Installing condition-monitoring equipment
  • Minimum-impact design changes, such as improvements to:
    • component materials
    • heat treatment processes and design variables
    • gear tooth grinding processes
    • gear tooth profiling.
  • Essential design changes, such as:
    • upgrading components known for repeat failure – for example, bearings, gears, shafts and casings
    • redesigning lubrication, sealing and labyrinth systems.
  • Major upgrades to improve strength and reliability, including:
    • changes to bearing layouts
    • changes to gear geometry
    • implementing new technologies, like flex-pin systems.
