When we replace a gear and pinion or turn an existing gear around, we use dial indicators to ensure proper runout. The more precise the alignment, the more years of service you can expect from your equipment – making this alignment the most critical part of the process.
During the ring gear and pinion installation, we ensure that the tires are tight and don’t slip excessively. Once this is verified, we install the gear, perform radial and axial alignments, and lock it down once the proper alignment is achieved.
Next, we weld the mounting brackets or spring plates to the shell surface. Finally, we align the pinion using feeler gauges and align the drive components with dial indicators or laser alignment, depending on the customer’s requirements.
The Importance of Proper Alignment

Without correct alignment of the gear to the shell and the pinion to the gear, the components will wear out prematurely. This wear can lead to more significant costs and downtime in the near future. By ensuring proper alignment the first time around, we save you both time and money.
