Challenge
Frequent sun gear replacements in Fairfield torque hubs every 12–24 months due to wear and damage, leading to high maintenance costs and downtime.

Solution
Adoption of PowerSUM HDL90 and HydraSUM additives to enhance lubricant performance and reduce wear.

Outcome

• • Extended sun gear lifespan from 12–24 months to 48–60 months, with no visible damage.
  • Iron content in oil samples reduced by 50%, from 65 ppm to 20–30 ppm.
  • Drastic reduction in hydraulic pump and gearbox failures, saving significant costs on replacements and repairs.
  • The product perceived as initially expensive but proven to yield significant net savings over time.

Key Benefit
Preventative maintenance reduced overall equipment costs and increased operational efficiency.
