BOSTON GEAR Equipment We Repair — By Category
BOSTON GEAR Product Lines We Repair
Our engineers are trained on the full BOSTON GEAR product range. Below are the major product families we service.
Boston Gear Helical Gearboxes (FWA, FWB, FWE Series)
Compact helical reducers offering 10:1 to 100:1 ratios for smooth, quiet operation. Common failures include helical gear tooth fatigue, bearing cage wear under continuous duty, and seal failure in high-temperature sugar mills and textile plants.
Boston Gear Bevel Gearboxes (HB Series)
Right-angle bevel reducers for perpendicular shaft alignment in conveyors and pumps. Failure modes include spiral bevel tooth micro-pitting, input bearing preload loss, and hypoid gear lubricant breakdown under sustained heavy loads.
Boston Gear Spur Gearboxes (GSRF Series)
Heavy-duty industrial spur reducers for cement mills, saw mills, and aggregates processing. Typical repairs address worn gear teeth, keyway shear failures, and output shaft runout from bearing race spalling.
Boston Gear Planetary Gearboxes (PSF, PHA Series)
Compact planetary units delivering high torque density for limited-space installations in food processing and packaging. Common faults include planet gear bearing cage fracture, sun gear tooth fracture, and ring gear internal spalling from shock loads.
Boston Gear Hollow-Bore Gearboxes (HB-HB Series)
Shaft-mounted or foot-mounted hollow-bore reducers for direct-drive applications on pump and motor shafts. Repair challenges include internal gear meshing alignment issues, hollow-bore bearing seat wear, and seal leakage from thermal cycling.

Common BOSTON GEAR Equipment Faults We Fix
Based on 30+ years of repair data, these are the most frequent failure modes we see in BOSTON GEAR equipment arriving at our workshop.
- ✓Helical gear tooth pitting and micropitting — Sustained overload, inadequate lubrication film, and contamination in gearbox oil are primary causes. In Indian textile and sugar mills running 24/7 with poor oil filtration, gear tooth fatigue accelerates rapidly. Micropitting progresses to macropitting and catastrophic tooth fracture.
- ✓Output shaft bearing cage fracture and spalling — Excessive radial loads, insufficient lubrication, and thermal cycling in harsh plant environments cause bearing inner race spalling. Cage fracture releases bearing rollers, creating catastrophic gearbox failure. Common in cement mills and heavy conveyor applications.
- ✓Oil seal leakage and bearing race corrosion — Thermal expansion cycling, moisture ingress from humid Indian coastal and monsoon environments, and salt-air exposure in industrial zones cause seal lips to harden and lose contact. Contaminated oil corrodes bearing races, reducing load capacity.
- ✓Input shaft keyway shear and key fracture — Shock loads, reversed torque during emergency stops, and loose coupling connections cause keyway shear. Over-torqued shaft-mounted gearboxes on pump motors are frequent culprits in Indian food-processing and chemical plants.
- ✓Bevel gear spiral angle wear and tooth engagement loss — Misalignment during installation, inadequate shimming on mounting feet, and vibration in high-speed conveyors cause progressive gear separation. Worn spiral angles reduce load-carrying capacity and increase noise and heat.
- ✓Planetary carrier bearing wear and planet gear skew — Shock loads in packaging machinery, inadequate lubrication in sealed units, and manufacturing tolerance stack-up cause planet gear bearings to wear prematurely. Skewed planet gears create uneven load distribution and accelerated failure.

Frequently Asked Questions — BOSTON GEAR Repairs
Do you repair Boston Gear gearboxes across India?+
Yes. Synchronics repairs all Boston Gear gearbox families - helical, bevel, spur, and planetary models. We offer pan-India door pickup from Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune, Ahmedabad, and all industrial cities. Gearboxes are transported to our 40,000 sq ft facility in Vadodara, Gujarat, where our mechanical engineering team performs comprehensive diagnostics, component replacement, and reassembly under controlled conditions.
What is the typical repair turnaround for Boston Gear gearboxes?+
Standard repair turnaround is 7-10 working days from receipt, depending on fault severity and availability of replacement components. Emergency expedited repairs are possible within 3-5 days for critical production machinery. We conduct final no-load rotation testing and vibration analysis before dispatch to ensure field performance and reliability in your factory.
How do you diagnose Boston Gear gearbox bearing failures and wear?+
Synchronics uses ultrasonic bearing condition monitors, vibration analysis, and precision bore gauging to identify bearing race spalling, cage wear, and preload loss. We perform oil analysis for metal debris and thermal imaging to detect heat zones. Based on findings, we recommend bearing replacement, shaft repair, or gearbox rebuild with upgraded bearing grades for high-load or harsh-environment applications.
Can you repair Boston Gear shafts with bent keyways or cracked input shafts?+
Yes. For bent or cracked Boston Gear input/output shafts, we evaluate crack depth and location with magnetic particle and ultrasonic inspection. Non-critical cracks on non-load-bearing surfaces are repaired via key installation in oversize keyways. Critical shaft damage is addressed by sourcing OEM or equivalent replacement shafts. All shaft work includes hardness verification and runout balancing.
Do you stock Boston Gear replacement parts, or do I need to source them myself?+
Synchronics maintains a library of common Boston Gear bearing, seal, key, and fastener inventory. For gear sets, carriers, and housings, we source genuine Altra Industrial Motion or ISO-certified equivalent parts. We can also coordinate sourcing through our established distributor network across India. Customers may supply their own parts; we offer labor-only repair pricing in such cases.
How do I send my BOSTON GEAR unit for repair?+
Pack the unit securely and courier it to our Vadodara workshop. Include a note with the fault description and your contact details. We will log it into our system and WhatsApp you a job number within 24 hours of receipt. Doorstep pickup is available in Vadodara, Ahmedabad, Surat, Mumbai, and Pune.
What is the cost of repairing a BOSTON GEAR drive or PLC?+
Repair cost depends on the model and the fault. We offer a free diagnosis — once we identify the fault, we provide a fixed quotation before proceeding. Typical repairs cost 20–40% of the new unit price. We will never repair without your approval.
What warranty do you provide on BOSTON GEAR repairs?+
All repaired units carry a 6-month comprehensive warranty covering the same fault and related issues. If the fault recurs within the warranty period, we repair it free of cost.
Do you provide a no-fix, no-fee guarantee?+
Yes. If we cannot repair your BOSTON GEAR unit after diagnosis, you pay only the diagnosis fee (₹500–₹1,500 depending on the product). The unit is returned to you at no additional charge.
