Does your gearbox make noise? No output? Locked up? CMT provides industrial gearbox manufacturing and repair. We can remanufacture the gear case by welding, sleeving the bores and machining all mechanical fits to tolerance. CMT can provide new gearing and internal components and assemble them to work within industry standards. After repair, each gearbox goes […]
Too hot to handle? CMT repairs motors, gearboxes and propeller shafts on cooling towers
Cooling towers are found in major industrial and commercial facilities to extract waste heat into the atmosphere. Cooling towers are found in power plants, refineries and chemical plants. Smaller cooling towers are found at hospitals and universities. Most cooling tower systems have a motor driving a propeller shaft coupled to a gearbox. Some common problems […]
Keep cool in the summer with industrial air handling repairs
Industrial air handling units serve many purposes: fume removal, dust collection, cooling air and material movement. Primary designs of air handling units include: vane axial design and centrifugal design. Vane axial design uses a propeller blade that draws air in and out of a tube in the same direction. Centrifugal design uses a blower wheel […]
Stopping vibration through dynamic balancing can extend life of equipment
Simply put, dynamic balancing is the practice of spinning a rotating item like a drive shaft or armature at a high speed in a balancing machine. Vibration is reduced when weight is added or subtracted. A balancing machine has sensors and once a rotating piece has been brought up to the set speed, a computer […]
Balancing that’s dynamic
Dynamic balancing is simply the practice of spinning a rotating apparatus, such as a drive shaft or armature at a high rate of speed in a balancing machine. Vibration is reduced by subtracting or adding weight. A balancing machine is outfitted with sensors, and once a rotating piece has been brought up to the pre-determined […]
