Painting industrial gearboxes is essential for corrosion resistance and long-term durability, but if done improperly, it can compromise a critical component—the shaft seal. Seal failure due to overspray or improper preparation can lead to gearbox oil leaks, contamination, or premature wear that puts your entire system at risk.
