The final step for our gold line repairs is careful packing. Precision spindles are very susceptible to damage from vibration or impact. Foam packing and rust inhibiting wrap are standard.

We understand that many of our customers try to save some money by repairing their spindles themselves. If you get into trouble give us a call. We’ll help you as best we can over the phone. But if after your start you find yourself over your head, do like this customer did and send to us.

This job came to us with the drawbar assembly in a separate box. We always want as many parts as possible. Without the drawbar we can’t test the pull force or the run-out on a test bar.

It is our standard procedure to replace all of the drawbar actuator seals and springs. We pressure test all areas that are possible. When this spindle repair was completed the pull force was 3369 lbs.

SETCO Spindle Repair received in pieces

It’s OK to send us the spindle in different pieces like this one. But it’s important to send us all of the pieces. We need the covers, drawbar assembly and gripper assembly to test and set the pull force and check run-out on our test bar.

When we received this SETCO spindle it was still operational. But the customer noticed increased vibration and noise so they took it out of service. Whenever your production schedule allows for it a spindle should be taken out of service if unusual vibration or noise is present. This can often save thousands of dollars in journal repair.

Our examination found that the rear bearings were on the verge of failing. If the spindle was kept in operation there would have been the possibility of catastrophic failure with shaft seizure and journal damage.

After our rebuild this SETCO spindle ran better than new. Run-out on our test bar was 4 m and we have vibration readings of 0.036920 in/sec in the front.
