Inaccurate Machine Velocities and Strength
All spur and helical gears play a big role when changing torque and velocities in machines. For example, a food processor uses different strengths depending on the raw material malleability. If the machine's velocity and strength are inaccurate during operation, it can affect the resulting product quality as a whole. In such situations, you will need to replace the faulty gears as soon as possible.
Clanking or Loud Noise During Operation
A loud, clanking noise is often synonymous with your helical gears being unable to cope with the velocity and tension of the operation. If you are processing raw materials that have equal mass, weight, and pliability, then a clanking or grinding noise definitely indicates gear problems that require inspection. The problem caused might only need simple lubrication or a full-on gear replacement.
Strong Vibrations During Operation
When you feel unusual and high-torque vibrations during a process, it's possible any of your gears have suffered immense damage. Most of the time, strong vibrations accompany the loud clanking or grinding in machines and vehicles. Turn off the machine -- vibrations can dislodge gears and cause much more detrimental damage to your existing equipment.
Poor Machine Response
Weak or slow response to controls that directly affect the machine's drive is an indicator of gears having grinded and require immediate replacement. While it might seem to be a minor problem, prolonged use of this equipment will negatively affect the performance of other machine parts.
