Leak test for gearboxes
Detected leakages from gearboxes using helium
The precise inspection of gearbox housings and mounted gearboxes for leaks is becoming increasingly important. While in the past cast aluminum housings were often tested using the differential pressure method, today’s test specifications require a more precise method. Helium is ideal here because it enables a dry and very precise test method.
