Why Real Engineering Support Matters: Inside DieQua’s Engineer-to-Engineer Approach When you are designing a complex motion control system or power transmission setup, off-the-shelf components rarely tell the whole story. Oversizing leads to excess costs and unnecessary weight, while undersizing risks catastrophic machine failure. Getting the exact right drive solution requires more than just browsing a catalog—it requires technical collaboration. At DieQua, we don’t just sell gearboxes and power transmission components; we partner with you to engineer solutions. Our engineer-to-engineer approach ensures that from your very first inquiry, you’re speaking directly with an [...]

The Shift to Electromechanical: Why Fluid Power is Falling Behind

Jarett Reinwald2026-07-15T14:44:18-05:00July 15th, 2026|Application Examples, Educational, Product Focus|

For decades, hydraulics and pneumatics have been the default choice for heavy-duty industrial motion control. But in modern manufacturing environments, traditional fluid power introduces significant operational liabilities.

Why “Reverse-Engineered” Gearbox Repairs Are a High-Risk Gamble for Your Applications

Jarett Reinwald2026-06-01T15:26:06-05:00June 1st, 2026|Application Examples, DieQua News, Educational|

Third-Party Repair Shops Cannot Replicate Factory-Built Specifications A gearbox failure causes enormous stress when your company depends on an operational production line. Every minute your facility is down from a motion control or power transmission unit costs money. During your search for an expedited fix, you have likely encountered third-party repair shops aggressively advertising alternative repair services. Many of these shops claim they can fully rebuild, service, or even "reverse-engineer" high-precision gearboxes at a fraction of the cost and time. They may boast about duplicating gear profiles, matching surface hardness, or offering [...]

Gearbox Maintenance Tips and Mistakes to Avoid DieQua offers tips for installing, operating, and maintaining gearboxes. Below, we discuss common gearbox maintenance mistakes and how to avoid them. Specifically, our tips include both the error and the preventative measures in each of these scenarios so you can best learn how to maintain a gearbox. Tip 1 - Painting Gearboxes Painted seals can cause hardening, which allows for them to wear a groove in the shaft, creating a leak. Mask and cover the seals before painting. Watch our video on [...]

How to Paint Gearboxes: Seal Protection Tips

Jeff Gibbons2026-03-16T16:50:52-05:00October 15th, 2025|DieQua News, Educational, Product Focus, Videos|

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. How can you avoid seal damage when painting a gearbox? This short video from DieQua outlines best practices for painting gearboxes while ensuring seal protection. You’ll learn how to mask critical areas properly, the importance of avoiding direct paint contact with seals, and tips to maintain [...]

Mount Gearheads Vertically

Jeff Gibbons2026-03-31T08:54:46-05:00October 15th, 2025|Application Examples, Educational|

Often times we see customers mount servo gearheads like SESAME incorrectly. In many instances, the first reaction is to mount horizontally, but this is not a good practice. It is essential when installing a gearbox, to do it vertically instead of horizontally. This video explains why. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfOF3fve4-k
