Bridgeport Spindle Repair Case Study

Upon inspecting the Bridgeport Milling Spindle, our technician found internal damage that showed signs of a spindle crash. Indications included a damaged Big Plus 40 taper, damaged Drive Keys, and damaged  Bearings.  In less than 24 hours a quote was sent to the customer, and was repairs began once the customer approved the work scope. The Shaft was sent for Chrome and Grind, to requalify the taper back to Big Plus 40 qualifications. A Gripper Set was ordered, which was used to replace the damaged set. Ceramic Angular Contact Bearings and Steel Roller Bearings replaced the damaged bearings. Seals and O-rings were ordered to be replaced in the spindle, to prevent future contamination. One of our several Experienced Spindle Technicians assembled the Bridgeport spindle with Precision and Accuracy. After rebuilding the spindle, one of our Spindle Technicians balanced the spindle with our state of the art equipment, to ensure the spindle ran like new. The Bridgeport was test run for four hours at the maximum speed of 12,000 RPM. The Spindle was shipped back to the customer after running flawlessly at our facility. We are confident that this Bridgeport Spindle will last for many years, given the proper operation and maintenance.
