MChT-125 machine gearbox: metal grew on the teeth, bearing clearances shrank

Metal built up on the teeth of both stages, clearances in the bearings decreased, the mesh tightened up. 0.05–0.15 mm — tooth thickness on the gears of both stages, 5.1–9.7 → 5.2–9.8 mm; 20–30 % — radial clearance of the bearing supports, 0.10–1.15 → 0.08–0.90 mm; 3.95 % — working backlash in the mesh, 1.77 → 1.70 mm (2002).

EQUIPMENTCONDITION BEFORE TREATMENTWHAT WAS MEASURED
MChT-125 machine, gearbox gear trainAs assessed in the report — wear above 100%; deep pits and fine scoring on the working surfaces of the teethTooth thickness on the drive pinion and two driven gears, working backlash in the mesh
Bearing supports of the same gearboxRadial clearance of the right support of the angular-contact ball bearing — 1.15 mmRadial clearance of six supports: angular-contact ball, double-row spherical roller, angular-contact

At each mark on the gear three consecutive teeth were measured — 36 points in all; a gain of metal was recorded at 32 of them.

The most worn is the right support of the angular-contact ball bearing — 1.15 mm before treatment; the relative change given in the header covers the three supports with the largest clearance.

Conclusion of the report

The commission of Dneproshina OJSC and XADO LLC recorded in the report dated 02.08.2002: “At the start of treatment the gearbox had wear above 100%. This fact explains the slight gain on the working surfaces of the teeth, as well as the incomplete disappearance of the deep pits. Nevertheless, it can be concluded that after the gearbox was treated with XADO revitalizants the wear was fully halted. The working surface of the teeth took on a smooth form, the fine scoring and pits disappeared.” The condition of the unit before treatment — deep pits on the teeth and a clearance of 1.15 mm in the most worn support — is not a caveat here but the working premise: over 468 hours metal was added on the teeth of both stages, while the clearances in the supports and in the mesh decreased.
