Uncontrolled humidity can ruin a gear set within days, sometimes hours. Gear tooth surfaces and the rollers and races in rolling element bearings can experience rust corrosion almost immediately if not protected by an oil film or a suitable preservative. Philadelphia Gear’s preservation system offers its customers a solution to the ongoing problem of protecting and maintaining gearboxes while in storage. Enclosed drives that have GearLogic protection will enable customers to warehouse them safely before putting them back into service.

Unlike preservatives that harden or get tacky during their application, the GearLogic process uses a specially formulated product that maintains a thin, non-hardening preservative barrier between any moisture that may enter your gearbox and your critical gearing elements. So this means that when the time comes to return your equipment to service, the tedious task of flushing your drive of preservatives is a thing of the past.* Simply replace the hygroscopic breather element and Plexiglas inspection cover and fill the unit with the proper amount and type of lubricant and “flip the switch.”
