Falk Gear & Gearbox Repair
Falk (Milwaukee, since 1892, now Rexnord) is the most common industrial gearbox nameplate in North America — Y-Series parallel shaft, Quadrive shaft-mount, Omnibox worm, Ultramite and Ultramax lines drive conveyors, mixers, crushers, and mills everywhere. We rebuild every Falk model — published pricing, 8–12 day turnaround, 24–72 hr emergency — and we buy surplus Falk units for cash.

Falk questions
Why is my Falk gear drive running hot?
Falk's own service guidance: any drive loaded past ~60% duty runs warm, but a sudden temperature climb means lubrication trouble — wrong viscosity, degraded oil, or a failing bearing adding friction. Pull an oil sample before anything else; bearing metal in the oil means teardown time. Call (641) 519-6270 for a free teardown quote — or sell us the unit as-is for cash.
Are old Falk Y-Series units still worth rebuilding?
Absolutely — Y-Series housings are cast iron with generous safety factors, and Rexnord still supports much of the line. A rebuild at 30-60% of new cost typically buys another 15-20 years. If yours is beyond saving, the core still has cash value to us. Call (641) 519-6270 for a free teardown quote — or sell us the unit as-is for cash.
My Falk Quadrive is leaking from the backstop area — serious?
A weeping backstop seal is common on Quadrives in dusty conveyor service. Left alone, oil loss kills the backstop and then the gear set — and a failed backstop on an inclined conveyor is a safety event. Reseal early; it's one of the cheapest repairs we do. Call (641) 519-6270 for a free teardown quote — or sell us the unit as-is for cash.
Falk 2050Y1 vs 2060Y2 — can I swap sizes?
Not directly — case sizes differ in shaft height, bolt pattern, and torque rating. But we cross-reference upgrades daily and can machine adapter bases when a bigger case is the right long-term fix. Send both nameplates and we'll spec it. Call (641) 519-6270 for a free teardown quote — or sell us the unit as-is for cash.
