At HST, we replace all bearings with top name-brand ABEC 7<\/a> super-precision spindle bearings. Your spindle repair will include replacing or restoring all worn drawbar springs, seals and critical surfaces. Then we perform high-speed balancing to eliminate vibration, extend life and improve part quality. HST has provided the CNC machining community with a high-quality alternative to higher-priced OEM spindle repairs since 1986.<\/p>\n Kitamura entered the machine tool business back in 1933. Their Mycenter line of CNC machines is popular and it includes a comprehensive line of high quality vertical, horizontal and five axis mills. They specialize in small footprint machines. The spindles are oil injection lubricated and run very fast,<\/p>\n We like most of the Kitamura spindles because they are a straight forward and robust design. They go together well and we always get good performance from our repairs.\u00a0Below are other examples of HST\u2019s OEM-quality repairs on Kitamura\u00a0spindles.<\/p>\n For expert Kitamura spindle repair, call us at 1-603-483-0333 <\/strong>for a quote.<\/strong> We are fast, experienced, and our work is guaranteed.<\/p>\n HST Job I-9087<\/p>\n This 10,000 RPM spindle from a Kitamura Mycenter vertical mill had definitely seen better days. The bearings were contaminated and the ID taper was pretty dinged up.<\/p>\n We receive these spindles from a large 2nd<\/sup> tier automotive supplier who makes power steering assemblies. They are very competent at totally rebuilding their CNC machines. They will strip down a machine to the bare castings and rebuild every single part to like new condition.<\/p>\n But when it comes to repairing the spindle, they send it out to the experts at HST.\u00a0 They know that proper spindle repair requires special equipment and skill sets. For maximum life, spacers need to be ground to micron tolerances and shoulders need to be perfectly flat and perpendicular to the axis of rotation.<\/p>\n They take Dirty Harry\u2019s advice (youtube clip<\/a>).\u00a0It\u2019s good advice for all of us. But this is especially so when it comes to super precision repair of production critical equipment. So unless \u201cyou\u2019re feeling lucky\u201d when you have a Kitamura that needs repair, give us a call.<\/p>\nSome Featured Repairs<\/strong><\/h2>\n
