What We Repair

Spindle Rebuilds

Our Tullahoma facility is equipped with a clean room dedicated to spindle service, so the reassembly of your spindle is conducted in neat and clean surroundings.

Your spindle then goes through a run in and test period, so when you receive it, it is ready for installation and immediate service. We also have experience in other types of spindle bearing arrangements, including hydrodynamic bearings, tapered bronze bearings and babbitt bearings used on ceramic coated spindles.

How We Work

Our Spindle Process

Every spindle follows the same four steps, from teardown to the test run.

  1. Inspect And Diagnose

    We inspect the spindle to find what is worn and what the repair will take.

  2. Plan And Quote

    You get a transparent fixed quote before the rebuild begins.

  3. Clean Room Rebuild

    The spindle is repaired and reassembled in our dedicated clean room, and the work is documented.

  4. Test And Handover

    A run in and test period means the spindle is ready for installation when it arrives.
