Scope of work:

We performed an inspection and revision on gearbox of Jahnel Kestermann ASU 560.

The conversion operations consists of:

  • Disassembly
    • The gearbox is completely disassembled and cleaned.
    • The Gear case featured a new inside and outside coating.

  • Inspection
    • The holes of the casing were run-in as a result of skidding bearings.
    • The holes of the gearbox were bored again.
    • The gearing was in poor condition. The pinion was renewed and the output gear was after a survey for bursts whirled at the shaft and minimal re-bored.

  • Fabrication and assembly of new input pinion shaft
    • The new shaft was modified with reference to the old one. The bearing cap with gland was replaced by a blind cover.
    • All bearings, seals and loop rings were renewed.
    • The packing ring, the labyrinth and the wear liner were finished and replaced.

  • Installation of the gearbox
    • The oil pump was inspected and cleaned together with the pipes. The conduit of the gearbox was modified.
    • The gearbox is assembled and adjusted. All bolts, rings and pins were replaced.
    • Oil pressure gages and temperature gageswere replaced.
    • The input coupling is reprocessed. The new input pinion shaft was such machined that the fit between the clutch and the input coupling had a light shrinkage. The coupling rubbers of the coupling were renewed.
  • Testing
    • The output claw coupling was in a poor condition (corrosion).
    • The shrinkage between the output shaft and the coupling was minimal.
    • Loctite (special glue) was used during assembling of the coupling of the output shaft.
    • The gearbox had set a test run at working speed for four hours.
    • Two extra coatings were applied extern before the gearbox was delivered.
