Metalock Brasil restores reduction gear with Cold Stitching Repair and Machining

January 2021

Metalock Brasil, a leader in Cold Stitching Repair and Machining Processes, recently completed a restoration for a company specializing in manufacturing. The project involved repairing a reduction gear, a critical component for optimizing production processes.

It had three cracks in the housing: two in the bearing housings and one on the housing. Due to the thin wall thickness of the housing, it was necessary to bush the housings to ensure structural integrity.

After a thorough technical analysis, it became evident that the Metalock® cold repair method was required, using Metalace® screws and Metalock Key® keys.

Additionally, the housings were machined and bushed, with bushes made at Metalock São Paulo, ensuring quality and precision standards.

To ensure a flawless finish, all burrs from the Metalace® screws and Metalock Key® keys were removed.

Metalock Brasil’s repair services are executed strictly in accordance with work instruction INS.PRO.001, which is part of our ISO 9001/2015 certified Quality System. Furthermore, the process is approved by the renowned Lloyd’s Register Classification, guaranteeing reliability and excellence of results.
