Improved Sealing Technology for Crane Gearboxes (Room 310)

Tracks: Lubrication & Hydraulics

One fundamental component of iron- and steelmaking operations is the overhead crane, frequently involved in transporting in-process materials and finished products. Maintenance of this equipment can be difficult as well as costly due to the aggressive environments often encountered directly above the production line. A leaking gearbox on an overhead crane can potentially leak oil, causing an unsafe work environment. Maintaining a crane gearbox in these harsh environments is important for an efficient and safe production process. Only advanced sealing technologies should be trusted to retain lubricant while protecting the critical internal gearbox components from contamination to avoid unplanned downtime.
