Gearing up: services to enhance reliability and productivity
When it comes to mechanical power transmission, the gear unit – such as the MAAG® CPU – is vital. It can be difficult to assess and repair but it needs to run safely and reliably, often under harsh conditions. With MAAG Predicta online condition monitoring services and MAAG MySentinel service agreements, we ensure you achieve the highest overall equipment efficiency, independent of the brand.
What we offer
Improve gear unit condition and performance
Responsible for driving the production process at exactly the right speed and power, your business is totally dependent on the gear unit. It must operate efficiently and require minimal maintenance downtime. However, it is often the piece of plant equipment that is pushed to the limit of its capacity and subject to the most extreme wear and tear over many years. So you need high-quality and high-value solutions and services.
Our service and maintenance products are executed by experienced gear specialist ensure you get optimal equipment availability and uninterrupted production. Maintenance costs are also more predictable and we share knowledge with maintenance staff, helping to keep your gear unit in top condition at all times.
We offer a complete range of gear overhaul and repair activities for all parts, including rotating parts, bearings, and designed components. This includes:
Dismantling parts and evaluating their health
Repairing and replacing parts
Assembling and function testing
We help prevent future equipment failure through:
Vibration measurements
Visual inspections - looking at the abrasive wear patterns and gear tooth pitting
Installing gears is one of our core areas of expertise, and we assist with all aspects of installation and start-up of new gears and gear replacements.
In addition to technical know-how, our service engineers can advise you on-site about achieving a reliable operation and we can train employees while commissioning. Together, we can design tailor-made installation and commissioning plans to suit your specific needs and ensure a smooth gear unit start-up.

Keep the risk of gear failure small
Significantly reduce the risk of a breakdown and loss of production: use our gear inspection services to determine the status and condition of your gear unit.
Many of our services can be performed during normal operation, including condition-based preventative maintenance and root cause analysis.
We help prevent future equipment failure through:
Vibration measurements
Visual inspections - looking at the abrasive wear patterns and gear tooth pitting
Online condition monitoring
If equipment does fail, your biggest concern is naturally how to get it up and running again as soon as possible. However, discovering the root cause of a gearbox failure is just as important because it prevents further unplanned machine downtime. Our experienced specialists use the latest technology to troubleshoot and problem-solve all kinds of gearboxes.

Staying in top gear: overhaul and repairs
Even well-serviced gears require an occasional overhaul to prevent accumulative wear. Proactive planning means you can schedule the shutdown to match normal fluctuations in product demand.
Together with you, we can plan and carry out any further assessment and/or necessary action.
We take care of all the calculations and gear designs and coordinate closely between engineering and services. Examples of overhaul and repair jobs include:
Complete parts dismantling
Parts condition evaluation
Parts repair or replacement
Rotating parts
Bearings
Designed components
Commodity components
Assembly and function test
For kiln and ball mills, we offer services on open girth gears, including:
Delivery and replacement of shell sections below girth gears
Delivery and installation of a girth gear, pinion, fixation system and drives
Change or reversal and alignment of a girth gear, pinions and drives

Easy plug ‘n play solution for Symetro
Do you have a Symetro gear unit ? It’s the ideal central drive solution for ball mills – it has high efficiency, long life and needs little maintenance.
Some of the first gear units, installed more than eighty years ago, are still in service, and spare parts are still available. Nothing lasts for ever, however. If your Symetro gear unit eventually does wear down, new rotating parts based on the latest gearing technology are the ideal plug and play solution.
The new rotating parts fit easily into the existing gear casing. You can also use the existing bearing housings and torsion shaft, and no civil engineering is required. Erection is easy and takes less than two weeks, and you can start at 100% load.
