About gear-tec
gear-tec GmbH, based in Eggebek, specializes in the diagnosis and overhaul of wind turbine gearboxes and rotor main shafts. Founded in 2006, the company has been part of Deutsche Windtechnik Service GmbH & Co. KG since 2018 and offers complete service: from inspection via video endoscopy through repair and alignment of gearbox and generator to de- and remounting at the wind turbine as well as crane service and transport. In the workshop hall at the Eggebek site, components weighing up to 50 tonnes can be handled, which is sufficient for all common gearbox makes up to 2.5 MW. On average, 25 gearbox and 50 main shaft overhauls are carried out per year. Experience exists with all common turbine types up to 3 MW, including Vestas, Senvion, Nordex, Siemens, Tacke/GE and Enercon. References exist for common gearbox types such as Winergy, Bosch Rexroth, Hansen, Eickhoff, JaKe, Renk and Moventas.
