Gear Failure Prevention

Typically, a gear set in distress will begin to show signs of trouble long before a critical failure occurs. During this time, corrective measures can be taken that will significantly prolong gear life.

DEC will inspect and document gear condition as found in service, set up a program to monitor the condition over time, and make detailed, practical recommendations on ways to correct any adverse conditions in order to extend gear life.
