Genuine spare parts
Our approach to spare parts includes new technology injections, design enhancements, and advanced materials to improve machine performance and efficiency. We're committed to providing an excellent service experience too, in particular:
- Timely, competitive quotations
- Component recommendations and original design upgrades
- Swift manufacturing
Refurbishment and repairs
Drawing on extensive operating data from our global installed fleet, and the unique experience of our Field Service Engineers, our COE technologists continually develop more advanced repair solutions that considerably reduce customer maintenance costs and downtime.
For any gearbox repair, refurbishment or upgrade, we first perform an engineering assessment at one of our in-house gearbox repair centers to fully evaluate the equipment/part condition. Based on those expert results, a joint decision is taken with the customer to either repair or replace the defective part. This service ensures that a repaired part will run safely and efficiently, as if new.
Field services
We continually invest to enhance our people's knowledge and skills. Highly qualified and experienced teams can quickly mobilize to deliver expertly planned and executed maintenance anywhere in the world—with the latest technologies and full support of our vast OEM engineering resources and data-driven optimization procedures.
We provide detailed, recommended maintenance schedules for all gearboxes. Our Field Service Engineers perform routine inspections and overhauls as part of ongoing maintenance programs and for unplanned or emergency breakdowns. We also provide expert advice based on advanced diagnostics, to detect abnormal conditions, and rectify to avoid unplanned equipment downtime.
Services shops network
We’ve centralized our US operations into a recently updated facility in Lufkin, Texas, where our flagship technologies were developed nearly a century ago. With a roofed area of ~37,000 m2, this is our Center of Excellence (COE) for repair, remanufacturing, and services.
We also have COE service capabilities in Fougerolles, France, for parallel-shaft and epicyclic gear technologies and serving our customers in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
Customers in Asia can take advantage of either COE, as well as our Approved Service Provider network in Asia. All local service providers are fully trained, audited, and approved by Lufkin Gears.
In addition to servicing our own Lufkin Gears, Allen Gears, and legacy Baker Hughes industrial gear products, we continue to provide the same high level of service, for over 30 brands by other OEMs.
