VersaPlanetary Failures

[rahilm]

Hi all,

Looking for some advice if anyone has seen failures like this before or has insight into the root cause, so we can prevent it from happening again. I've attached some pictures, but basically what we're seeing is the pins the planet gears rotate on begin to push out, eventually rubbing against the casing and causing large amounts of friction and seizing of the gearbox.

Thanks in advance.
