We can make your wishes come true
I want to use a product that is suitable for my environment and purpose.
We would like to investigate the cause of the malfunction and take measures to extend its life.
I would like to keep this as an example of trouble within the company.
Tsubaki product survey
Please send your product to us and we will check its remaining life, wear, breakage, corrosion, etc.
We will estimate and report the cause of the bending failure.
Upon request, we will provide detailed explanations of the investigation report and
We can also hold meetings to propose countermeasure specifications.
We may require information about your environment.
Depending on the content of the investigation, our dedicated staff can visit the site to check the product condition and hold a preliminary meeting for the product investigation.
Usage image
For long-term use
Conformity assessment
This is an important evaluation material for determining how well the product you are currently using can cope with future usage conditions and environmental changes.
When unexpected trouble occurs
Identifying the cause
When problems such as wear and tear occur, this information will help you understand the cause and prevent the same problem from recurring.
Internal knowledge sharing and training materials
By recording the survey results as case studies, it can lead to learning for on-site staff and improvement of their technical skills.
[Example of survey items (example of work)]
1. Appearance and wear
Conducting an investigation on a part-by-part basis
We will disassemble the product you send us, inspect the appearance of each part, and measure the dimensions of each part.
Identify the damage
Identify damage to your product, such as corrosion wear or interference with sprockets.
2. Metal structure/material
Identify materials and heat treatment methods
We will disassemble the product you send us, inspect the appearance of each part, and measure the dimensions of each part.
When investigating other companies' products, it is also possible to compare hardness with equivalent Tsubaki products.
3. Damage
Estimation of the cause of damage
The fracture mechanism is estimated through macroscopic observation of the fracture surface.
We will estimate the background and causes of the breakage and propose countermeasures.
Actual damage investigation example
After observing the fracture surface of the broken pin, it was determined that the cause was fatigue failure initiated by pitting corrosion.
- It is estimated that fatigue failure is progressing in other pins as well, so we propose the following measures:
- (1) The pins have been changed to a more corrosion-resistant material.
- (2) Review of oil supply amount and interval to maintain oil film on the pin surface
