Kone Crane Gearbox Rebuild, Repair, and Emergency Services
Once your Kone Crane gearbox arrives at our
facility we disassemble, clean, inspect and measure all
gears and shafts and determine if your Kone Crane gears and
shafts are qualified to be repaired. If the Kone Crane gears
and shafts are not repairable, we have the
capabilities and expertise to manufacture all new Kone Crane
gears and shafts such as Helical, Double Helical,
Herringbone, Split Herring bone, Bevel, Spiral Bevel, Spur
Gears, Ring Gears, Eternal Ring Gears, Rack & Pinion, Worm
Gears, Double Enveloping Worm Gears, Hypoid Gears, Screw
Gears, Plus More! Once your
Kone Crane gearbox is repaired we then do a six hour
test run for overheating, vibration, and leaking to ensure
our 24 Month Guarantee. National Gear Box Repair can do all
of these repairs and rebuilds at a considerable amount of
saving rather than buying a new Kone Crane gearbox.
Kone Crane Gearboxes
Headquartered in Hyvinkää, Finland,
Konecrane specializes in the manufacturing and servicing
of lifting equipment and cranes. Konecranes Cranes and Gearboxes are primarily utilized in
heavy load handling industries such as ports, intermodal terminals, shipyards and bulk material
terminals. Konecrane Gearboxes and industrial lifting equipment has been utilized by many
divisions and industries in the material handling lines of work. Konecrane offers Hoists, Cranes
and other material handling solutions for multiple industries including automotive, metal
production, waste to energy, pulp and paper and wood industries.
Konecrane was developed off of the Kone Company founded in 1910. Originally utilized as a
sizeable electric overhead traveling crane company for the pulp and paper and power industries
before eventually branching into electric wire rope hoists. The Konecrane Company has always
been known for its customer support and included preventative maintenance. The first customer
who signed the preventative maintenance contract was in 1960 and since then Konecrane has
been performing preventive maintenance increasing the lifespan of their crane and hoists even
more by ensuring that faults are addressed before they become a problem.
Konecrane gearboxes are known for their energy efficient operation which also results in less
waste and less expenses. The smaller sized gearboxes require less oil and produce low noise
with almost no vibration from the grinding teeth after the heat treatment thats applied which
makes them even more efficient. Konecrane Gearboxes have less components overall than
most other crane gearboxes like the
Link-Belt Gearbox. As there are no additional couplings or
shafts between the motor and gear the Konecrane gearboxes produce less wear on crane and
lifting equipment allowing a better approach due to the size.
Even with preventative maintenance Kone Crane gearboxes can still require repair from time to
time as the helical gear structure can become compromised and require replacement. In some
cases the failure or fault in the helical gear can cause damage to other internal components of
Kone Crane Gearboxes which would result in structural failure. National Gear Repair offers free
freight and free quotes Nationwide for
Industrial Gearbox Repair. We can pick up your box, take
it apart and clean it in our industrial pressure washer and find the fault and quote you within 24
hours. If you don't like our quote we can send the Konecrane Gearbox back put back together
exactly the way we received (albeit much cleaner) for free!
If however you approve the work order your Kone Crane gearbox will begin to be repaired by
National Gear Repairs team of highly trained technicians which are all Timken Bearing Certified
and Falk School Trained and Certified. Our team does not simply press on bearings we shrink
the shafting material with liquid nitrogen and place the superheated bearing on top allowing it to
slide down and lock through thermal expansion. To ensure your
Gearbox Repair is done with
the fastest turnaround time this side of the Mississippi, National Gear Repair always has critical
spare parts in stock for all Konecrane gearboxes and the ability to manufacture any gearing and
component up to 20 feet in diameter in under 24 hours if needed for Emergency Rush Repair
service.
Our technicians ensure that every helical gear manufactured for Kone Crane gearboxes meet
the exact same specifications as the OEM by ensuring the gear load capacity calculations are
based on the ISO6336 Standards and the AGMA 2001-D04 Standards.
After your Kone Crane Gearbox is completely rebuilt, heat treated and coated it is filled with
royal purple testing oil and connected to a bench to run a 6 hour rotation, heat and corrosion
test. Once the Konecrane gearbox passes the test it has completed the National Gear Repair
Gearbox Repair Process and is certified with our 24 month Warranty which goes into effect the
date the gearbox goes back into production. The Tests are done at full speed to measure
bearing temperatures and complete the gearing noise and vibration tests. Though we do check
to see if the gearbox leaked on its own throughout the test we also test for leaks using
pressurized air.
