Symptoms observed before failure included overheating. The cause of failure is uncertain, but could be related to overloading, poor lubrication, or contamination.
Ideal skills and experience:
- Expertise in gearbox and bearing repair
- Knowledge of bearing failure modes and prevention
- Mechanical engineering background is a plus
Please provide a detailed approach to the repair and prevention solution.
