OUR SERVICES

Industrial Gearbox Repair & Rebuild Specialists Australia

Our approach focuses on restoring gearbox performance while identifying and addressing the root cause of failure. Whether it is a minor repair or a full rebuild, SWB Plus delivers reliable, engineered solutions designed to extend asset life and improve operational efficiency.

Complete Gearbox Rebuild & In-House Capability

Gearbox repairs require more than component replacement. A proper rebuild involves detailed inspection, precision machining and controlled reassembly to ensure correct gear mesh and long-term reliability.

At SWB Plus, all gearbox repairs are completed in-house, allowing us to maintain full quality control and reduce turnaround times. Our technicians inspect and assess every internal component to identify wear, damage or misalignment.

Our gearbox repair capability includes:

  • Strip, assess and rebuild reporting
  • Bearing and seal replacement
  • Shaft machining and replacement
  • Gear repair, replacement and manufacturing
  • Welding and structural repairs
  • Heat treatment of components where required
  • Precision assembly with correct gear mesh and backlash

This integrated capability ensures every gearbox is rebuilt to a consistent and reliable standard.

Precision Engineering & Reliability Focus

Restoring a gearbox to an “as new” condition requires attention to detail at every stage of the rebuild process. Incorrect gear mesh, poor alignment or dimensional inaccuracies can lead to repeat failures.

SWB Plus ensures that all components are measured, machined and assembled to meet required tolerances. Where gears are damaged, we can manufacture and heat treat replacement components to restore performance.

Each rebuild is completed with a focus on:

  • Correct gear mesh and backlash settings
  • Alignment of shafts and bearing housings
  • Load distribution across gear teeth
  • Long-term durability under operating conditions

This engineering-led approach improves reliability and reduces the risk of premature failure.

Testing, Field Services & Ongoing Support

Before returning a gearbox to service, SWB Plus can test and monitor performance to ensure it operates correctly under load. This provides confidence that the rebuild has addressed both visible damage and underlying issues.

Our support does not end in the workshop. We also provide field services to ensure correct installation and ongoing performance.

Our services include:

  • Test running and performance monitoring
  • On-site removal and reinstallation
  • Laser alignment of gearbox assemblies
  • Condition monitoring and vibration analysis
  • Shutdown and maintenance support

By combining workshop repairs with on-site services, we provide a complete end-to-end gearbox solution.
