Repair of industrial and railway gearboxes

We overhaul and repair gear units — from railway traction gearboxes to industrial gearboxes. Teardown, measurement, parts manufacturing, assembly and test-bench measurement, all in one place.

Gearbox Repair

Gearbox repair is fundamentally different from motor repair: precise mechanical machining, the condition of the gear teeth and bearing quality determine how long the overhauled unit will last. That is why the Aselec workshop carries out full overhauls of industrial gear units and railway traction gearboxes — including gearboxes for Stadler vehicles. Every step, from teardown to test-bench measurement, is carried out in-house by our own engineers.

The first step after teardown is precise measurement of the gear teeth and shafts. Worn or damaged gears are manufactured in our own workshop or with a partner using precision machining. Bearings are always replaced with new, branded components, and seals, radial rings and oiled surfaces are all overhauled. The assembled gearbox is tested under load on our test bench — for noise level, temperature rise and vibration.

Alongside gearbox repair, we also rewind and overhaul the associated electric motor in the same workshop. This means the customer does not need to engage two separate service providers, and receives the motor–gearbox assembly back fully coordinated and documented.

Frequently asked questions

Which railway gearboxes do you repair?+

We have extensive experience overhauling railway traction gearboxes from several manufacturers, including gearboxes for Stadler vehicles.

Do you manufacture gears and shafts?+

Yes. We manufacture and replace gears, shafts and other critical components — based on drawings or samples, using precision machining.

Do you test the overhauled gearbox under load?+

Yes, on our own test bench we simulate real operating load and test the gearbox for noise level, temperature rise and vibration, then hand over a measurement report.

Do you overhaul the gearbox together with the motor?+

Yes, this is one of our biggest advantages: we overhaul the driven electric motor and its associated gearbox in one workshop, on a single schedule.
