All makes and models

Brands we repair, rebuild, and reverse engineer.

A worn or failed unit from any of these manufacturers can come back to our Houston shop for a full gearbox repair. Do not see your brand? We still repair it. Send us the nameplate.

Falk Lufkin Flender Dodge Foote Jones Cone Drive Hansen Browning David Brown SEW Eurodrive Westinghouse General Electric Marley Horsburgh and Scott Cleveland Sumitomo Nord Rexnord Philadelphia Gear Hub City Boston Gear Link Belt Renold Reliance Baldor Leroy Somer Winsmith Hamilton Fairfield Santasalo Radicon Sterling Western Nuttall and many more

Many of these makers no longer support older units. When a brand stops stocking parts, our gear cutting shop reverse engineers the worn gears from your old parts and cuts new ones, so even a discontinued gearbox can run again.

Brands we know well

Two names we rebuild often.

Some manufacturers cross our floor week after week. We know their tolerances, their failure points, and how to make a rebuild outlast the original.

David Brown

David Brown gearbox repair

David Brown built heavy industrial and marine gear units that are still running in plants long after the catalog support ended. We rebuild David Brown reducers and cut replacement gears to spec, so an aging unit ships back ready to carry full load again.

Lufkin

Lufkin gearbox repair

Lufkin gear drives are a fixture across Texas oil field, refinery, and power equipment. We rebuild Lufkin units in house, replacing worn gears, bearings, and seals, and reverse engineer parts when the original is no longer stocked.

Whatever the brand, the work flows through the same gearbox repair process, with new babbitt bearings poured and machined to size when a unit needs them.

Any brand, any age

How we repair a unit from any manufacturer.

You do not need factory drawings, a parts catalog, or even a readable nameplate. Here is how we take in a gearbox from any brand and send it back stronger than OEM.

01

Send the nameplate

Snap a photo of the nameplate with the make, model, and ratio, or just describe the symptoms. If there is no nameplate, we work from the physical unit. The inspection is free.

02

Tear down and inspect

We disassemble the unit, measure every gear, shaft, and bearing, and find the root cause of the failure, not just the broken part.

03

Reverse engineer obsolete parts

When the brand no longer stocks a gear or component, we reverse engineer it from your worn part and cut a new one in house. No factory drawings required.

04

Rebuild stronger than OEM

We cut new gears, replace bearings and seals, and machine to spec, often upgrading the material and heat treat over the original so the unit lasts longer than it did new.

05

Test, ship, and back it

The rebuilt unit is checked, then shipped back free both ways. Every job carries an up to 24 month workmanship warranty and can save up to 50 percent versus a new OEM unit.

Where these gearboxes run

The plants and industries we serve.

These brands turn up across heavy industry on the Texas Gulf Coast. We repair them for the plants that cannot afford a long line down.

Refineries & Petrochemical

Lufkin, Falk, and Philadelphia Gear drives on pumps, compressors, and cooling towers across Houston and Pasadena refineries, rebuilt and back in service fast.

Paper, Steel & Manufacturing

Flender, David Brown, Hansen, and Rexnord units driving mills, extruders, and process lines, repaired with new gears cut in house.

Power, Marine & Water

Marley cooling tower drives, marine reduction units, and pump gearboxes from any maker, restored for utilities and Gulf Coast operations.

Serving Houston, Pasadena, Lake Charles, and the Texas Gulf Coast. Many of these jobs include a pump rebuild so the whole rotating assembly ships back ready to run.

No risk to you

Why brand is no reason to scrap a gearbox.

Any maker

All makes and models

From Falk to Sumitomo to a unit with no nameplate left, we repair it. The brand on the housing does not change what we can do.

Free

Shipping and inspection

Free shipping both ways, plus free pickup and delivery including crating and rigging, and a free inspection on every job.

Save 50%

Up to half off versus OEM

A rebuild can save up to 50 percent versus a new OEM unit, with an up to 24 month workmanship warranty on the work.

24/7

Emergency turnaround

Brand drive failed at 2am? Our 24 hour emergency line answers at 832 270 2009. Rush rebuilds in days, not weeks.

Questions, answered

What plants ask about brand repairs.

Do you only repair certain gearbox brands?

No. We repair all makes and models. The brands listed here are the ones we see most often, including Falk, Lufkin, Flender, David Brown, Rexnord, Philadelphia Gear, Sumitomo, and Boston Gear, but the list is not a limit. If your unit is not named here, we still repair it. Send us the nameplate and we will tell you exactly what we can do.

Can you repair an obsolete or discontinued gearbox the manufacturer no longer supports?

Yes. Obsolete and out of production gearboxes are a large part of what we do. When the original maker is gone or no longer stocks parts, we reverse engineer the worn gears and components from your old parts and cut new ones in house. You do not need factory drawings or a parts catalog for us to rebuild the unit.

What information do you need to quote a repair on my brand of gearbox?

The nameplate is the best starting point. Send us a photo of the nameplate with the make, model, and ratio, plus a short note on the symptoms. If you have no nameplate, we can still work from the physical unit. Inspection is free, so we can tell you the real condition before any work begins.

Is a rebuilt unit as good as a new one from the original brand?

It is built to be stronger than OEM. We cut new gears, replace bearings and seals, and machine to spec, often upgrading the material and heat treat over the original. Every rebuild ships with an up to 24 month workmanship warranty, free shipping both ways, and free inspection, and can save up to 50 percent versus a new OEM unit.
