Reviving Efficiency: Repairing a Crane's Gearbox Bearing Saddle with Precision Brush Plating

At Sterling Impreglon Asia, we believe in not just fixing mechanical components but restoring them to their optimal performance. In a recent challenging task, we were summoned to address a crane's reduction gearbox bearing saddle damaged by frettings. Here is a glimpse into our meticulous repair process:

 

The Challenge:

The reduction gearbox bearing saddle, a critical component in the crane's operation, had fallen victim to fretting damage. This not only compromised its efficiency but also posed a potential threat to the entire system's functionality.

 

Our Expert Approach:

1. Preparation: Before initiating the plating process, our skilled technicians meticulously masked off the targeted area to ensure precision.

2. Grinding: Fretting areas were carefully ground open, widening but not deepening the damaged regions in readiness for the plating procedure.

3. Cleaning: Thorough rinsing and scrubbing followed to eliminate any impurities, providing a pristine surface for plating.

4. Brush Copper Plating: The damaged areas underwent a transformation with our advanced Sterling Brush Copper Plating technique, rebuilding and reinforcing with precision.

5. Smoothing: The plated regions were expertly blended down to seamlessly integrate with the surrounding area, ensuring a flawless finish.

6. Nickel Capping: A final touch of nickel capping was applied to guarantee not just functionality but also an aesthetic restoration.

7. Dimensional Check: Our commitment to quality was underlined by a comprehensive dimensional check, ensuring the plated area met stringent specifications and tolerances set by our customer.

 

The Result:

What was once a fretting-ridden component emerged as a testament to the restorative power of Brush Plating. The reduction gearbox bearing saddle not only regained its original condition but also surpassed it in terms of durability and longevity.
